About UnseenUnseen brings both consumers and businesses strong,
secure and private communications. Our skilled and experienced team have been building popular web sites and services since 1995. Before starting Unseen, we developed Before It’s News, a leading source of alternative news and information. Because of this, we’ve had numerous people share with us their concerns about internet communications security. We’ve been aware of most of the recent revelations for years.
Our premise is that everyone needs to be able to hear the truth so they can make a good choice for their future. If your communications isn’t secure, it could be monitored, blocked or changed without you knowing it. That’s not good for anyone.
With all the recent spying disclosures, we became concerned about the safety of our customer’s data, so we moved the company and servers to Iceland. Iceland has a good track record of doing the right thing for protecting privacy and their past behavior with the bankers and human rights. It’s a neutral country where during the height of the cold war, this is where Reagan and Gorbachev had their famous meetings. It’s a very developed country with state of the art data centers where your data is safe and under the protection of Icelandic laws. Our Icelandic director is firmly in control of any requests for data and will do everything legally possible to protect our customer’s communications.
In the future, expect many upgrades to our systems, as we stay abreast of the latest encryption and security technology and do everything we can to continue to earn your trust.
F.A.QFrequently Asked QuestionsWhat does Unseen do?Our services provide private and secure messaging, email and calling. We offer web, mobile and desktop apps that will allow secure communication wherever you are.
What is the mission of Unseen?Open and free communications are critical in allowing the people to obtain truthful knowledge. Today, data is intercepted and snooped upon for various reasons and purposes. When someone can read your information while it’s in transit, it’s easy to block the recipient from ever receiving or change the content all without your permission. This is the reason Unseen was built. We also believe in giving full support for groups or individuals who needs security and privacy, like media reporters, whisle-blowers, people who are living under state-control and media-censorship. Especially heavily persecuted groups in Communist countries such as Falun Gong, Christians, Tibetans etc.
Where is Unseen based?Our company and servers are based in Iceland, protected by some of the strictest data privacy laws on the planet. We are a registered company within Iceland. You can check it out here
http://www.firmaskra.is/search.php?q=unseen# What platforms is Unseen available on?We are currently in beta, and available for Web browsers like Firefox, Chrome and Opera. Apps for Windows, Mac OS X and Ubuntu Linux. Android and iOS app is available now as well.
Why do I need Unseen?If you value privacy, security and freedom, then you need to start protecting your online communications today. Most sites rely on data mining to offer a free service. "You" are their product, and that's not private.
How does it work?Encryption takes your data and applies a special formula to it, so it becomes a scrambled gibberish that are only readable by the sender and the receiver.
We provide end to end encryption for all transmissions of data. We do not have the key and can't read any of your messages. This is done in the background, it will feel and work the same way as if using regular email or chat services.
What kind of encryption does Unseen offer?We utilize industry standard openPGP encryption for email and TLS 2048 bits for audio/video calls. For chat we use a much stronger xAES algorithm and NTRU for key exchange. You can read more about it here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTRUhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard How does Unseen prevent someone from getting access to my data?You will generate your own key and only you have access to it. Data from each of your messages is encrypted separately with your key, so even we can’t decrypt your messages.
We take many steps in guarding access to the servers itself. Data from each account is encrypted separately so even if any data were stolen, it's very difficult to break in.
Do you offer encrypted file storage?Not yet, we are working on this now.
Do I need a new email address or can I keep the one I have?You can keep the one you have, and you’ll be given a new one at Unseen. Let’s say you get the Unseen account name Johan. The email will automatically be
Johan@unseen.is.
It’s a secure and isolated email address compared with the rest of your accounts.
Can I send emails to people outside of Unseen?Yes you can send emails to any valid email address. In most cases, emails sent to outside of Unseen will be unencrypted because you don't have the recipient's key. You can also send encrypted emails to third party addresses, but they would need to utilize the same level of encryption that we use and you would need your recipient's public key. Otherwise it would be impossible for them to decrypt the message.
It’s highly recommended for both of you to use Unseen, simply because the content will not be transmitted over the internet as regular email. It’ll go from your computer directly to our secured servers, then to the recipient’s computer in a heavily encrypted tunnel.

For chat we use a proprietary technology thats simply not compatible with other services.
For audio or video calling, do both sides need to be using Unseen?Yes. for calling both parties have to use Unseen. It’s the only way we can guarantee your security and that things are compatible. Calls are cross-platform compatible between web, desktop and mobile apps.
Isn’t a web service less secure?Our web services are developed to provide the highest level of security available. Apps specific to a particular operating system do offer more security than browser based system. The web app is extremely convenient because you can get your messages on any machine anywhere.

What is your data retention policy?Its simple, we keep limited logs and backups for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, they are overridden. We do not have anything beyond that point.
What if you get a request from the government to hand over information?Because we’re based in Iceland, we are bound by Icelandic laws. We only follow orders from Icelandic courts. If we receive a valid warrant issued in Iceland, we will throughly evaluate the request. If it is a legally valid request, then the information we have will have to be turned over to the court. In Iceland, it's not permitted to create backdoors or to give bulk access to the data. We only have encrypted files and related logs.
