This policy applies to all information collected or submitted to Clandestine's website and our apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac.
How we store information you enter in the app
All sensitive information you save in Clandestine is stored in encrypted form. The only data we store in plain text is the following:
- A random identifier (UUID) for each secret.
- A number that relates to the position your secret has when sorted alphabetically.
- A number that relates to the position your secret has when sorted by most used.
Everything else (the names secrets, the usernames and passwords, the passwords, the card information, the notes) is stored in encrypted form. If you have iCloud sync enabled, the information described above is stored on Apple's iCloud servers.
What that means is that all your secrets are safe and only you can access them with your password. What Apple sees on their iCloud servers is scrambled eggs, basically.

Security of your data in the app
Clandestine follows the current standards in encryption to keep your data safe. Specifically, we use the following cryptographic techniques to securely encrypt and store your data:
- Encryption of your secrets: The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Galois Counter Mode (GCM) cipher suite.
- Key derivation from your master password: SHA-512 HMAC-based key derivation
- Hashing of your password: SHA-512 hashing
- Storing your encrypted master password to enable biometric unlock: Apple Secure Keychain
All of the above is implemented using Apple's CryptoKit framework. We don't use any third party library to handle encryption.
