End-to-end encrypted

Your contacts are encrypted with a passphrase only you know — before they ever leave your device.

Synced everywhere

Add a contact on your phone, see it on the web. Your network stays with you across devices.

Zero-knowledge

We store only ciphertext. We can't read your contacts — and neither can anyone else.

How it works

Private by design,
encrypted before it leaves.

Your contacts are encrypted on your device with a passphrase only you know, then synced so you can reach them anywhere. We only ever store ciphertext.

1
Add contacts on any device
Capture a name, role, company, email, phone, tags, and a note. Add on your phone and see it on the web — your network follows you across devices.
2
Encrypted with your passphrase
Before anything syncs, every contact is end-to-end encrypted on your device with a passphrase only you know. Your passphrase never reaches our servers.
3
We store only ciphertext
All our servers ever hold is an encrypted blob — mathematical noise without your passphrase. We can't read your contacts, and neither can anyone who breaches, subpoenas, or buys the database.
4
Lock your most private people away
Move sensitive contacts into a PIN-protected vault, hidden from your main list. And you can export your whole network to a JSON file anytime — you're never locked in.

On your devices.
Encrypted in the cloud.

Your contacts are only ever readable on your devices. They sync as encrypted ciphertext through our cloud — which holds no key and can never read them.

Your devices

Contacts are decrypted and readable only here, behind your passphrase. This is the one place your network exists in the clear.

Readable by you

Privilio cloud

Only encrypted ciphertext is stored here, so your contacts can sync across your devices. We never receive your passphrase, so none of it is readable to us.

Ciphertext only

Operated by Adapting Services Limited — a Canadian company.

We sync your contacts.
But we can't read a single one.

Most "private" apps send your data to the cloud and ask you to trust them with it. Privilio syncs across your devices too — but everything is end-to-end encrypted with a passphrase only you know. Our servers only ever hold ciphertext, so even if our database were hacked, subpoenaed, or sold, there'd be nothing readable in it.

FAQ

Common questions.

No. Your contacts are encrypted on your device with a passphrase only you know, before they're ever synced. Our servers store only ciphertext — mathematical noise without your passphrase, which we never receive. We can't read your contacts, sell them, or hand them over in any readable form.
Because your contacts are synced (encrypted), you can sign in on a new device, enter your passphrase, and your whole network is restored. Just remember your passphrase — it never leaves your device, so if you forget it, even we can't recover your data. You can also keep a JSON export as an extra backup.
When you set up Privilio you're given a one-time recovery code — a backup way to unlock your encrypted data if you forget your passphrase. Store it somewhere safe and offline. Without either your passphrase or your recovery code, your data is unrecoverable by design.
Privilio is built by a Canadian company and respects Canadian law. But because of our zero-knowledge design, the only thing we could ever produce in response to a court order is encrypted ciphertext — useless without your passphrase, which we never have. We can't decrypt your contacts for anyone.
Any contact you mark as private moves into your vault, locked behind a 4-digit PIN you set in Settings — on top of the end-to-end encryption that already protects everything. Vault contacts are hidden from your main list. You can change or remove the vault PIN anytime.
Yes. You can browse and edit your contacts offline, and your changes sync — still encrypted — the next time you're online. You always have a working copy on the device you're using.
