Privacy
My Re Check utilizes end-to-end cryptography, protocol for anonymisation and masking, along with digital proofs to guarantee maximum privacy in sharing data. Blockchain architecture provides an immutable environment to ensure that digital proofs cannot be altered or deleted. My ReCheck preserves the perfect balance between security, privacy and traceability. Transactions are recorded in a way that only users who did them can verify them using their identities.
No. No one, even ReCheck can read your personal information, unless you grant exclusive access to another user by sharing the file. In the case of sharing you decrypt the file and encrypt it to the identity of the recipient. The protocol we utilise ensures that encryption happens in the browser and ReCheck as a service provider can't read your data.
On cloud infrastructure and servers provided by Amazon Web Services.
Digital proofs such as timestamp and fingerprint (hash) helps you track your data on blockchain. When interactions with you data occur (it was shared, signed, decrypted, etc.) then ReCheck records these transactions in an immutable and verifiable environment and you can track them.
You need to decrypt a file and click on Details button – then the full history of interactions with the file will be displayed. Also, through an independent verifier, you will be able to track and trace all activities with your files. This means that you do not depend on Re Check to verify the history of your transactions.
No third parties will have any access to any of your data, including your transactions with data. We record trail hashes on blockchain or other ledger databases in a way that only you can verify the transactions.
My ReCheck Identity
My ReCheck Identity is your digital identity that you create upon installing a ReCheck mobile application. It is created according to the principles of decentralised identities (DiD) and self-sovereign identity (SSI).
Your My ReCheck identity is encrypted and stored on your own smartphone.
Your recovery phrase is a sequence of 12 words that act as a secure way to restore identity on any mobile device on which ReCheck mobile application is installed.
If you lose your recovery phrase, you will never be able to restore your My ReCheck identity.
If you forget your passcode, you will be able to restore your identity through your recovery phrase.
If you lose or change your smartphone, you will be able to recover your My ReCheck identity through the recovery phrase.

Using advanced cryptography methods, ReCheck creates a fingerprint and a timestamp upon each interaction with your data. Those digital proofs cannot be changed or modified later.
In an immutable and verifiable environment, each transaction leaves a fingerprint, a trail of events that cannot be deleted, once the event is recorded.
