What NexFade stores, and what it intentionally cannot recover.

NexFade stores encrypted payloads, encrypted metadata envelopes, and operational records such as expiry timestamps, workspace ownership, and deletion state. The service is designed so plaintext and decryption fragments are not stored on the server.

Application-level logs are kept minimal and redacted. NexFade hashes requester fingerprints for abuse controls instead of retaining raw IP addresses by default. Recovery of lost decryption fragments is impossible by design.
