Secure Decoding: Best Practices for File Privacy

Why Security Matters in Decoding

When you upload an encoded PHP file for decoding, you're trusting the service with potentially sensitive code — database credentials, API keys, business logic, and proprietary algorithms.

Our Security Architecture

Controlled Retention

• Uploaded and decoded files may be retained for account delivery and support
• The default account retention period is 14 days
• Users can delete stored input and output content from the dashboard before expiry

Encryption in Transit

• All connections use TLS 1.3
• HSTS headers prevent downgrade attacks
• Provider and decoder API credentials remain server-side

Access Control

• Each decoded file is tied to your account
• UUID-based file identifiers prevent enumeration
• Session-based authentication with automatic expiry

Best Practices for Users

Change credentials after decoding — if the encoded file contained passwords or API keys, rotate them

Use the demo first — verify the decoder works on your file before purchasing credits

Download promptly — do not rely on online storage as your only recovered copy

Review the output — verify the decoded PHP is correct before deploying

GDPR Compliance

We are fully GDPR compliant:

• Data Export — Download all your data anytime
• Account Deletion — Permanently delete your account and all associated data
• Retention Controls — Remove stored recovery files from your dashboard when no longer needed
• Minimal Data Collection — We only collect what's necessary for the service

Cryptocurrency Payments for Privacy

We accept Stripe, PayPal, Bitcoin (BTC), and USDT. Stripe and PayPal process their own checkout credentials; the site stores transaction references and status needed for credits and receipts.
