SERVICE ARCHITECTURE

Onyx Mail operates a zero-knowledge email infrastructure service. We provide the pipes; you provide the encryption. Our architecture ensures that we have no ability to access, read, or decrypt your communications.

[2.1] What We Provide:

  • Distributed SMTP/IMAP infrastructure across 47 global nodes
  • End-to-end encrypted message routing
  • Quantum-resistant cryptographic protocols
  • Anonymous account creation and management
  • Zero-logging architecture by design

[2.2] What We DON'T Do:

  • Store plaintext messages or metadata
  • Log IP addresses or connection details
  • Implement backdoors or key escrow
  • Comply with surveillance requests
  • Monetize or analyze user data
[3.0]

PRIVACY ABSOLUTISM

✓ ZERO-KNOWLEDGE ARCHITECTURE ACTIVE

The Onyx Promise: We operate under the principle of mathematical impossibility. It is not that we won't read your emails—we CAN'T read your emails. Every message is encrypted client-side before transmission, and we never possess the keys.

[3.1] Technical Guarantees:

  • AES-256-GCM encryption for all data at rest
  • TLS 1.3 with perfect forward secrecy for data in transit
  • Zero-knowledge proof authentication
  • Client-side key generation and management
  • Cryptographic erasure upon account deletion

// Privacy by design, not by policy
// Mathematical impossibility > Legal protection

[4.0]

USER OBLIGATIONS

With great privacy comes great responsibility. You agree to:

[4.1] Security Requirements:

  • Maintain exclusive control of your private keys
  • Use cryptographically secure passwords (entropy > 128 bits)
  • Enable two-factor authentication when available
  • Verify message signatures and certificates
  • Report suspected security incidents immediately

[4.2] Prohibited Activities:

  • Attempting to breach or test our infrastructure without authorization
  • Transmitting malware, viruses, or destructive code
  • Violating applicable laws in your jurisdiction
  • Impersonating Onyx Mail or its services
  • Attempting to de-anonymize other users

⚠ WARNING: Violation results in immediate account termination
No appeals. No exceptions. No logs to review.

GOVERNMENT & LAW ENFORCEMENT

WARRANT CANARY: ACTIVE ✓

As of 2025-08-11, Onyx Mail has received ZERO national security letters, ZERO warrants, and ZERO gag orders. We have provided ZERO bytes of user data to any government entity because we possess ZERO readable user data.

Our response to all data requests is consistent and automated:

HTTP/1.1 451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons
Content-Type: text/plain

We possess no readable data.
All content is end-to-end encrypted.
We cannot provide what we cannot access.

Respectfully,
Onyx Legal Response Bot v2.3.1

LIABILITY & WARRANTIES

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITH THE FOLLOWING GUARANTEES:

WE GUARANTEE:

  • Zero-knowledge architecture
  • No data logging
  • Encrypted storage
  • 99.9% uptime SLA

WE DON'T GUARANTEE:

  • Recovery of lost keys
  • Protection from user error
  • Immunity from quantum computers
  • Service availability in all jurisdictions

Maximum liability shall not exceed the amount paid for services in the preceding 12 months. We are not responsible for lost keys, forgotten passwords, or acts of God/FSM/entropy.

[7.0]

TERMINATION PROTOCOL

Either party may terminate this agreement at any time:

user@onyx:~$ account --terminate
[!] This action is irreversible
[!] All data will be cryptographically erased
[!] No recovery possible after confirmation
Proceed? [y/N]: _

Upon termination, all encrypted data is immediately purged using cryptographic erasure. Recovery is mathematically impossible. Export your data before termination.

[8.0]

VERSION CONTROL

Terms are version-controlled and cryptographically signed. Changes are announced 30 days in advance via encrypted broadcast to all users.
