The Keepsafe Manifesto
Keepsafe protects your personal space.
Our mission is making privacy and security simple. In an era that’s overvalued sharing, privacy is the new freedom. You need to feel safe and free to be yourself. Set your own boundaries, organize your life and control your privacy. Share only the things you wish with only those you trust. We give you protected space on your devices to keep important things safe. Keepsafe puts your privacy first to make space for the real you.
How we do it
Keepsafe uses cipher AES-256 encryption, considered among the most secure in the world and “bank-level” or “military-grade” across all of its privacy and security apps.
-
Military-grade encryption
Our back-ups are also encrypted, which are managed by your device and by Keepsafe’s back-up system
-
Encrypted backups
Back-ups are encrypted with multiple layers of encryption keys
-
No access for Keepsafe employees
We have systems in place so that no employees ever access or view your content
Meet the people who live for making your privacy and security simple

Zouhair
Founder, CEO
Zouhair is a serial entrepreneur with an academic past and an infectious success drive.
For his EE PhD, Zouhair researched novel video coding algorithms that reduce compression computations by 90% on mobile devices.
He went on to build an online retail company (enamora.com) and brought it to several million in revenue before the exit. Aside from success, he also took away expertise on women's underwear, so ask for fashion advice.
At Keepsafe, Zouhair contributes code, image processing expertise and thought leadership in the privacy space.
“I'd rather be surfing” is his preferred motto but you'll find him at the office more often than at the beach. Zouhair drinks Beck's but other beers will also do.
Philipp
Founder, CTO
Philipp competes to win — in Sailing and in Startups and came to the Bay Area to compete in the world's best environment for both.
Descending from a family of entrepreneurs, Philipp has been working on startups ever since graduating in Computer Science. His academic research was in graph visualization algorithms to make data useful.
After that he started ViCommerce (vicommerce.com) a company building video players that allowed people to click and buy items in a video. Luckily he never had to use any of Zouhair's codecs.
At Keepsafe he spends most of his time in the Android code base. Philipp ships code like a machine but if you're looking for a way to distract him from software, just ask about Sailing. He'll talk your ear off. Philipp is Bavarian, drinks beer and has never missed a day of Oktoberfest in his life.
Jeff
Design
Jeff is the ever sought-after unicorn designer with a skill-set ranging from ideation to software implementation.
He is a graduate of Stanford's Design program and previously has done work for Google, Dropbox, YouTube and many other Silicon Valley startups.
With a background in art and product design, his vocation now is to create intuitive and delightful experiences. His process involves a lot of sketching and paper prototyping. Jeff's mad coding skills let him implement all his designs for web or for the Android client. Our engineers just love this.
If you ask nicely, he'll draw you a robot.

Komel
Monetization
Komel is a quiet rainmaking professional.
Komel is Californian through and through. Having spent tons of time in NorCal, she did a sting in L.A. before moving to San Francisco where she’s been living for many years now.
Komel practices mindfulness and meditation and she aspires to guide others on this path in the future.This means that she is silent for very long periods of time. She assures us that this won’t be causing communication issues though.
When she’s not busy making more money for Keepsafe, Komel likes to travel. She’s been to many countries in South America and Europe and throughout that, Komel’s favorite place is Berlin which proves that she has excellent taste. One day, she’ll live and work there.
Tim
Product
Knows all the hidden hiking trails with no names.
Tim found himself working at Muir Woods National Park as a Park Ranger fresh out of High School. For two years he gave tours, carried a life-saving radio and experienced all of North Bay’s hiking hidden gems. After a few years Tim realized being a Park Ranger was his ideal job. For retirement. He packed up his bags and exchanged the redwoods for city dwelling where he’s resided for the better part of ten years and counting.
Tim learned the ins and outs of app store optimization and product growth while working for several startups. A recent stint took him abroad to Taiwan where his hobbies had been limited to Friday night KTV. Now that he’s back stateside he’s excited to get back to his favorite pastimes of rock climbing, BBQing, road biking and collecting hot sauces.

He likes to expand his knowledge about the world, especially physics and mechanical engineering.
Fabian

Fabian is the Head of QA and a Computer Science student from Paraguay who doesn't mind getting his hands dirty and trying to break the app before we release. His American / Paraguayan dream is to travel around the world (in fact, anywhere outside Paraguay). He just needs to work on being less afraid to fly.
