Private relay for people who want less exposure, not more profile data.
CRIV stands for Confidential Relay, Individually Verified.
The platform is designed as a private PWA and website where clients can register with only an email address and password, encrypt text or files, maintain a private address book under aliases, and share encrypted payloads through familiar delivery channels.
The product direction favors a minimal identity footprint. No real name is required. Contacts can be saved under any alias. Sender accounts carry the paid subscription requirement, while receiver access can remain open for decryption via the website or installed PWA.
Voice calls, video calls, and secure call mail are available only to logged-in registered CRIV users. Free receiver access for delivered text or files does not include calls.
Encrypted live chat follows the same registered-user rule. Both sides must be saved contacts, each incoming message stays encrypted until the recipient clicks Decrypt, and server-side chat data is purged when the last participant leaves the page.

Contact aliases instead of exposed identity
Each contact record is expected to include an alias, an email address, an optional WhatsApp phone number, and a key value for secure relay. The alias can be any internal label a client prefers.
Email and WhatsApp from one encrypted workflow
When encrypted text or files are prepared, the sender should have the option to route them by email or WhatsApp whenever those fields exist in the saved contact.
Broad file support under the same private relay
The product scope includes documents, spreadsheets, CSV, PDF, slides, images, and nearly any common file type clients need to exchange privately.
Decrypt through the site or PWA
Receivers should be able to decrypt encrypted text or files from the CRIV website or installed PWA, without forcing a full paid sender account on every recipient.
Registered users only
Calls and call mail are intentionally separate from the free receiver flow. Both sides must hold registered CRIV accounts, be logged in, and save each other as contacts before voice or video can begin.
Manual decrypt with short server retention
CRIV live chat is designed for saved registered contacts who want near-instant exchange without leaving messages open in plaintext by default. Clients decrypt each incoming message manually, and anyone who wants a copy should save it locally before leaving the page.
Watermarked browser protection, not overpromised blocking
CRIV adds watermarking and hides sensitive views when the app loses focus, but because it runs in browsers and as a PWA, it does not claim that screenshots or screen recording can be fully blocked on every device.
