Send Self-Destructing Email

Looking for an easy way to protect sensitive information in emails? QRClip is the solution to send a self-destructing email.

QRClip isn't an email provider, but offers an innovative way to securely share private data through self-destructing links that work with any recipient's inbox. It's not the actual email that self-destructs, but the data it contains. So the result is the same as with self-destructing emails.

In this blog post, we'll explain how you can use QRClip's self-destructing links in emails. Using self-destructing links in emails is beneficial for securely sharing sensitive data and preventing outdated messages from lingering in inboxes.

Enhanced Privacy and Security

Sharing sensitive data in normal emails is risky. Data remains stored on multiple servers for a long time, which increases the risk of intrusion or hacking. QRClips are automatically deleted to prevent confidential information from being stolen.

QRClip is end-to-end encrypted. Since we don't have access to the encryption key, we can't access your data. We only know the size of the data, not the file format, names or other details. This zero-knowledge architecture ensures exceptional privacy and security even from us.

Sensitive data that should be avoided in emails

It's important to be careful with the information you send via email. Sensitive data that should be avoided in emails include:

• Personal identification information: social security numbers, driver's license numbers, passport information and birth dates.
• Financial information: Bank account numbers, credit card information and other financial data.
• Login credentials: Passwords, usernames and other login credentials.
• Confidential business information: trade secrets, unpublished financial reports and internal strategy documents to protect your company's competitive advantage.
• Sensitive personal information: health records, legal documents and other personal information.

Instead of sending sensitive information as plain text in an email or as an unsecured attachment, you should use a service with a robust self-destruct feature. When you share such sensitive information, it's important to set an expiration date.

Many email services have a self-destructing email feature, but these features often work only between users of the same provider. QRClip offers a solution that works with any email provider, and you can be sure that your data will self-destruct.

Opening a QRClip

When someone receives the email with the link and clicks on it, they'll be prompted to enter the password if there is password protection to access the data.

You can then access the information for the specified duration. After this time, the QRClip is automatically deleted and the data is no longer accessible.

Once installed, you can easily create self-destructing QRClip links and insert them into your emails without leaving Outlook.
