Security

How we keep your final words private.

Specificity beats reassurance. Here's what actually protects what you write — line by line — from your draft to your recipient's inbox.

The shape of the trust

Your Privacy and Security Are Our Priority

One Final Message handles some of the most personal and meaningful content you'll ever create. We understand the profound trust you place in us when you write messages meant for your loved ones and designated contacts, and we take that responsibility seriously. From the moment you create an account to the day your message is delivered, every piece of your information is protected by enterprise-grade security measures designed to keep your most intimate words safe and private.

Identity

Protected by Industry-Leading Authentication

Your account is secured through Clerk, a trusted authentication platform used by thousands of companies worldwide. We require multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all accounts, meaning that even if someone obtained your password, they couldn't access your account without your second verification method. Every login attempt is monitored, and we automatically detect and block suspicious activity before it becomes a threat. Our administrative team operates under even stricter controls - requiring regular re-authentication and maintaining comprehensive audit logs of all actions.

Your content

Your Messages Are Yours Alone

We've built our platform with a fundamental principle: your messages belong to you, not us. All data is AES-256encrypted both when stored and when transmitted between your device and our servers. We employ strict access controls that ensure only you can read your messages - our own team cannot access the content of what you write. When your message is delivered to its recipient, they must verify their identity through a secure one-time code before viewing, ensuring your words reach only the person you intended.

The watchroom

Continuous Protection and Monitoring

Our security doesn't sleep. We employ real-time threat detection that identifies and blocks malicious activity, rate limiting that prevents automated attacks, and comprehensive logging that helps us investigate any potential incidents. All of our infrastructure runs on Cloudflare's global edge network, providing protection against distributed attacks and ensuring your data is handled by one of the most trusted names in internet security. We regularly review and update our security practices to stay ahead of evolving threats.

Compliance

Built for Trust and Compliance

We've designed One Final Message with privacy regulations in mind, implementing data retention policies, audit trails, and access controls that meet rigorous compliance standards. We never sell your data, and we collect only what's necessary to provide our service. Our commitment to your privacy isn't just a policy - it's the foundation of everything we build. When you trust us with your final words, you can rest assured they're protected by the same level of security used by financial institutions and healthcare providers.

Cookies

Simple, Transparent Cookie Policy

We believe in using cookies only when absolutely necessary. One Final Message uses a minimal set of cookies, and every one serves a clear purpose. We use Clerk for authentication, which sets a secure session cookie that expires when you log out or after a period of inactivity. A language-preference cookie remembers your chosen language across visits. If you arrive through an affiliate or referral link, a small set of attribution cookies — your referral code, affiliate type, and any campaign parameters — let us apply the correct discount when you reach checkout. These attribution cookies are HttpOnly (invisible to page scripts), transmitted only over HTTPS, and expire after 30 days. They record which link brought you to us and nothing else. For feature improvements, we use PostHog to understand how our features perform. We've configured it to operate without tracking cookies, we send only aggregate, non-identifying usage data — never your message content or recipient details — and we keep session replay disabled. Importantly, our attribution cookies are not advertising cookies. They do not profile your behavior, they do not follow you across other websites, and they are never shared with ad networks or data brokers. We do not sell your browsing data. When you visit One Final Message, your privacy remains intact.
