Trust is about relationships. We just provide a service, which shouldn't require implicit trust in everything you do.
People shouldn't be inhibited from doing their desired work with a service because of possible monitoring. Or the possibility of a leak, due to a hack or accident, which does happen occasionally.
Security sacrificing usability creates unreliable and unsafe systems. The safest solution should only require minimal effort, while producing a maximum of security.
You may be doing shopping lists, you may be writing your will. You may be invoicing for construction work or your psychotherapy office. Your data is only yours to access until you choose to share, by creating either a shared account or creating some other kind of access for third parties.
Gaining access to your data without your consent, is the same as stealing your keys and breaking into your filing cabinet.
It shouldn't make a difference whether your data is stored offline or with an online service, it is yours to control and do with as you wish.
Daniel wants to make the life of a freelancer a bit easier, because he suffered through the same problems when he was one. Privacy and usability are his main concerns when developing software.
Igor loves to make software infrastructure reliable and automated. This love also drives the infrastructure behind Sealas, and keeps your data safe.
We decided to develop Sealas a few years ago, when we were looking for an accounting solution for our company. One website we came across said
Our customers have already managed 24,590,160.54 EUR.
This was problematic for us for a few reasons:
Our first approach was a locally hosted accounting application. With time, our need for a user friendly solution grew. We wanted something we can access from anywhere.
Data privacy is important to us. Web applications usually encrypt the communication, but store all data unencrypted on their servers. We solve this problem by encrypting all data before it even gets sent to us.
We don't even need to promise to handle your data confidentially. We simply don't have any access.
Our goal is for Sealas to be as easy and comfortable to use as possible.
