Encryption in a reversible algorithmic process that, through the use of unique private keys, converts readable decipherable data into unreadable undecipherable data that is indistinguishable from random noise, and back again given the possession of those same keys. This allows for long-term storage of the original data in such a way that it is protected from unauthorized viewing, regardless of where it might be stored.

The encryption and decryption of your footage is computationally performed on your recording and viewing devices only, using a unique snapshot encryption passphrase that you choose and type-in separately from your account password. Unlike your account password, which is obviously transmitted to this service to recognise you when you login, your snapshot encryption passphrase, as well as the AES-256 encryption key derived from it, are not transmitted to and not stored by the service.

In the unlikely event that this service itself gets compromised, and even if the attackers gain access to the stored snapshot repository, since the service does not have the snapshot encryption passphrases, the attackers will not have them either.
