Forms without footprints. End-to-end encrypted by default —
nobody reads your data but you.

01

You create a form

Build your form in the Confide editor. A keypair is generated in your browser — the private key never leaves your device.

02

Someone fills it out

The respondent's answers are encrypted client-side with your public key before they're ever sent over the wire.

03

Only you can read it

Decryption happens in your browser with your private key. We store ciphertext. We cannot read it. Nobody can.

The problem with
form providers

Most form builders are surveillance. They log IP addresses, fingerprint devices, embed third-party tracking scripts, and store every response in plaintext on servers they fully control. One subpoena, one breach, one policy change — and every answer, every respondent, is exposed.

You agreed to their terms of service. Your respondents didn't.

What is
Confide?

You share a link. Someone fills it out. You read it. Nobody else — not us, not a subpoena, not a breach — ever could.

Anyone can create a form and share it, but answers can only be decrypted by the person who created the form. Respondents leave no trace.

Anonymity is
architectural

Responses are encrypted before they leave your respondent's device, using keys only you hold. We store encrypted text we cannot read, on servers that log nothing that could identify who submitted it.

This is not a policy promise, not a checkbox, not a feature you have to enable. It's the only way the system works.

Client-side encryption

Encryption happens in the browser. Your private key never touches our servers.

Anonymous responses

No IP addresses logged. No device fingerprinting. No way to tie a response to a person.
