05 · Privacy & security

Your keys, always yours.

Encrypted at rest

Your Resend API key is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before being stored. The encryption key never leaves your server.

Never exposed

Your key is decrypted only at send time, in memory, on the server. It is never returned to the browser or logged.

Delete anytime

Deleting your newsletter immediately wipes your encrypted key and all stored configuration from our servers.
