Is 4Fimo Secure?

4Fimo® created its security model with a starting point of protecting members after unauthorized entity obtained user's authentication information.
In case of unauthorized access to a member's account, this access can only allow sending files.
Fetching data requires a secondary passcode, members set this passcode on their 4Fimo desktop application. The desktop application has extra identifications and can't be assumed by another user even if someone has a user's username and password.
4Fimo® uses secure network connections (SSL) to serve all of its content. All Communications are encrypted using industry standards. 4Fimo® uses member's computer identification to protect against any unauthorized actions or access attempts using complex identifications stored on desktop and 4Fimo® system.
In addition to username and password authentication, 4Fimo® does not allow files communication with users desktop if desktop identification fails.
4Fimo® servers and data storage are all encrypted by default and hosted on Amazon Cloud. In addition, the software is created, developed, managed and maintained in the United States and this will always be the case.

Are my files saved anywhere?

This is not a storage or cloud drive system, the opposite. 4Fimo® only moves files in real-time. Files only exist during transmission and in a temporary secure location for 60 minutes, before it is deleted, to allow members the time to download when they pull files from remote computers, users may also delete these files before the specific duration is reached.
For security reasons, signing out for any reason, will result in automatic clearing of fetched files.
Sent files exist only during transmission and are not stored in any location or pipe after a complete transmission. On system errors, files in transmission are deleted instantly from 4Fimo®.
