How your cloud backup is secured

Your documents are encrypted before backup

Documents are encrypted on your device before they are uploaded to your cloud account.

Your backup is stored in your own cloud account

Depending on your device, your encrypted backup is stored in your personal:

• iCloud account on iOS; or
• Google Drive account on Android.

The files stored in your cloud account are encrypted and cannot be viewed as normal document images or PDFs.

SEEK Pass cannot read your backed-up documents

SEEK Pass does not have the information required to unlock and read the documents stored in your cloud backup.

Your restore key is required to restore the backup.

Your documents remain encrypted if someone accesses your cloud account

Someone accessing your iCloud or Google Drive account would see encrypted backup data rather than readable copies of your documents.

For this reason, it is important to keep your restore key safe and private.
