   There is something I don't understand,
   Boxcryptor say they are a zero knowledge intermediate but I can retrieve my private key from the website what do I miss here?
   Also I never had to enter anything more than my boxcryptor user/password to get it installed on my devices...
   Please can you explain more?
   Thank you

   Hello jrmgx,

   Your private key is encrypted with your password, and your password is never sent in clear text to our servers. Please have a look at our technical documentation (https://www.boxcryptor.com/en/technical-overview/) for more details on this.

   Best regards,
   Christian

   Last name
   Country
   Language
   Marketing source (e.g. if the user signed up from a specific marketing campaign)
   Application source (in which Boxcryptor application did the user sign up)
   Newsletter
   Creation date
   Last updated date

   Device:
   Name
   Anonymous hardware id
   IP address (excluding the last octet)
   Creation date
   Last updated date
   Last access date

   Group:
   Name
   List of members with status (e.g. owner or member)
   Creation date
   Last updated date

   Company / organization:
   Name
   List of groups
   List of users
   Questionnaire answers when a trial was started

   I hope this answers your question. You can also take a look at our privacy policy here:
