Security & Trust

Your documents, protected – and the facts behind it

HelpRange is a European company. Documents are encrypted and stored in Frankfurt, every link has its own access rules, and your team sees every view. Here is exactly how it works.

Documents stored in the EU

Uploaded files and their converted versions are stored in Amazon Web Services, Frankfurt, Germany (eu-central-1).

Encrypted at rest and in transit

AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS for every connection. Files are opened only through the HelpRange viewer under the rules you set.

Access you control after sending

Specific people only (e-mail verification), passcodes, expiry dates, views limits, IP restrictions per folder and revoking access at any time.

Leak protection

Download & print blocking for every file type, dynamic watermarks with the viewer's e-mail, no forwarding and screenshot protection in the mobile app.

Full audit trail

Every view with viewer, time, country and pages read – per link, document and data room. Export to CSV.

Account security

Two-step login (authenticator app codes), Google sign-in, sessions per device. AI assistants connect with OAuth 2.1; tokens are stored only as hashes and can be revoked.

Team isolation

Every request – web, API, MCP – is checked against your own team and folders; another team's documents are never reachable.

Anti-phishing by design

The viewer shows only files stored in HelpRange; links to outside websites open through a warning page instead of being framed under our domain.

Payments by Stripe

HelpRange never stores card numbers.

How it works
1. Request a DPA

E-mail hello@helprange.com with your company details – we sign a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR.

2. Check the data map

The GDPR page lists where each kind of data lives (documents in the EU; account data and analytics in the US under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and SCCs).

3. Set your rules

Pick the protection per link or per data room – and see every view.

Security features are part of every plan; data rooms, screenshot protection and custom domains are in Unlimited. Plans & pricing
