From the Confide FAQ page:
How does it work?
It’s really simple. Receive messages from your friends and colleagues, “wand” over the words with your finger to read them, and watch them disappear without a trace when you’re done. They’re gone for good — no forwarding and no archiving.How secure is this and do messages really disappear?
We employ end-to-end encryption to ensure conversations remain confidential and are private to you. Even we at Confide cannot decrypt or see any messages. Yes, after messages are read once they disappear.
An excerpt below from an interesting Gigaom blog post, ‘Confide: an app for execs who want sensitive messages to vanish Snapchat-style‘
Many people associate “disappear” apps like Snapchat with young people who want to send each other bong or boob shots. But kids are hardly the only ones who want to relay sensitive or silly messages without leaving a permanent trace on the internet.
That’s the thinking behind “Confide,” a new app aimed at professionals who want to message each other about job references, corporate intrigue or other subjects that could cause trouble if a written record landed before HR or the legal department. Messages sent via Confide disappear on reading and can’t be retrieved later.
