Fair questions.

No. They are encrypted on your device and opened only on the devices you and your people approve. Our servers can see who talks to whom and when, and we say so.

No. We never sell your data, and we never will. LMN8 is paid for by subscriptions, not advertising.

Even if someone copied your data today, which is hard to do in the first place, they would hold locked layers with no key to any of them. On the way: your connection to us is protected against quantum computers. Before it leaves: your device encrypts it with keys made and kept on your devices. On our servers: we hold only that encrypted data, stored encrypted again, and never the keys. So there is nothing for a future quantum computer to start from. Built on NSA CNSA 2.0 algorithms: ML-KEM-1024, ML-DSA-87 and AES-256.

Approve a new device from one you still have, or use your 24-word recovery kit. We never store it.

In your region, on local servers, under your local laws. Cloud files are encrypted on your device first, then stored in the region you pick.

Yes, for good, and with the same encryption as every other plan. SOS, chat and one-to-one calls never cost anything.

Yes. Every chat, of two people or many, agrees its own keys on its members’ devices, and each message is encrypted for the people in it. The same post-quantum encryption protects both.

Yes. There are no guests or call links: everyone in a chat or call has the app and an account. Chat and calls are on the free plan, so nobody has to pay to talk to you.

Your account and files are on the web. Chat and calls live in the apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iPhone.

Yes, on every device in the chat, when the timer ends or after one read. No app can undo a screenshot or a photo of a screen, and we won’t pretend otherwise.

It depends on your plan: up to 500 members on the largest. The plans page lists the limit on each.

Yes, unless you allowed a decrypted copy. A downloaded share still checks before it opens, so ending it or letting it expire works on copies too.

Your account details are kept in your region, under its local laws. Cloud files go to the region you choose, encrypted on your device first. Vaults can stay on your device.

No. A vault opens only with your password, and we never have it. There is no reset that brings the files back, so keep it somewhere safe.

Each plan has one monthly Usage Data allowance that vaults, Zero, shares and Cloud count against: 10 GB on Noob, up to 5 TB on Ghost.

Cloud turns read-only. Nothing is deleted: you can still open and download everything, and adding files works again when you free space or change plan.

Yes. Emptying the Trash removes a file from view; its data stays on disk until something writes over it. Zero writes zeros over every sector the file used, so nothing is left to recover.

Yes, within what the storage allows. SSDs and phones move data around by themselves, out of reach of any app, so deletion on them is best effort.

How many items, when it ran, the device and the result. Never file names. It’s signed, and anyone can check it at lmn8.tech/verify.

Yes, remotely, from another of your devices. The command waits until the laptop is online, can’t be cancelled once sent, and asks for your biometrics before it goes.

Zero counts against your plan’s monthly Usage Data allowance, like vaults, shares and Cloud. What each plan includes is on the plans page.

No, never. SOS is free on every plan, for good.

Only the contacts you chose, and only what you chose for each of them. Updates are encrypted on your phone so only their devices can open them; we relay them and can’t open them.

Updates are small, and sharing ends by itself, so it isn’t left running.

We relay encrypted updates and can see that an SOS is live and which devices take part. We can’t open it, so we can’t see where you are or what you sent.

No. Every plan, Noob included, gets the same post-quantum encryption, done on your devices. Plans differ only in how much you can do: Usage Data, devices, people and extras.

One monthly amount that everything you do with your data counts against: locking files into vaults, erasing them with Zero, shares, chat attachments and Cloud. Inside it is a smaller cloud limit for what goes through LMN8's servers: shares, attachments and Cloud. Text, voice notes and one-to-one calls never count. Both refresh on the 1st of every month.

Locking files on your device and Zero pause until the 1st, or you add +500 GB for ₹49 a month. When the cloud limit runs out, new shares and uploads pause, everything you already keep stays readable, and chat and calls keep working.

Try Vanish free for 7 days, once per person. No card is needed, and it never turns into a paid plan on its own. When it ends you keep Noob, free, unless you choose a plan.

Prices are in Indian rupees and include 18% GST: what you see is what you pay. Outside India, prices are in US dollars.

Yes. Moving up starts straight away and you pay only the difference for the rest of the period. Moving down takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for.

No refunds; cancel any time and keep your plan until the end of the period you paid for. Cancel from Your plan on the web: nothing more is charged, and when the period ends you move to Noob, free.

No. Your keys are made on your devices and we never hold them. Your recovery kit, or a passkey on a Mac, Android or iPhone, is the way back, so keep it somewhere safe.

They are coming. Teams and organisations will use LMN8 Enterprise, a separate app we are building, set up with you and priced case by case. These plans are for individuals. Tell us how you work and we will tell you where it stands.

Not yet. LMN8 Enterprise is coming soon, with its own server and apps. Write to us for early access.

Not by default. Reading chats is one organisation-wide switch that starts off. If it is ever turned on, everyone is told, and every read is logged.

Work data stays in your organisation’s Cloud, never on the phone. No downloads, copying out or screenshots. A wipe removes only your data.

Admins with the permission can restore their access. Control of that is split between people you name, so no one person holds it.

It gives you the tools: retention, legal hold, export, an audit log and DPDP request handling. Whether you meet a law is a question for your organisation.

Sign-in works with your SSO (OIDC) and people sync from Google or Microsoft through SCIM. SAML and MDM integration (Intune, Jamf, Google) are still being decided.

Notices start 7 days before. Then your organisation is read-only for 7 days so you can export everything, and the data is deleted 2 days later.
