Protocol manifesto
Frequently asked questions
Professional handoffs for privileged information and sensitive assets—across legal, medical, executive, creative, architecture, and technology workflows. Stateless by design, stakeholder-ready by default.
Who is this for?
CarryDocs is for anyone who needs a professional handoff of privileged information or sensitive assets: CEOs and boards, medical professionals, architects and engineers, legal counsel, creative leads, and technical teams. If stakeholders require a secure, stateless exchange—not a permanent inbox archive—this protocol fits.
Why not just email?
Email creates a permanent, searchable digital trail across servers and devices. CarryDocs is built so data exists only for the duration of the handoff: a time-bound link or QR, optional PIN and view-only controls, then expiry and shredding—so the artifact does not live on as an endless thread in someone’s mailbox.
Is it secure?
Yes. Connections use strong TLS encryption (256-bit class) in transit, the architecture is stateless by design (no document vault for browsing), and PIN-protected protocols include an automated 3-strike shredder—three failed PIN attempts end the carry immediately. You still define policy for your own regulatory and contractual obligations.
How long do files last?
Free carries use a two-hour shred window. Protocol Pack users can choose longer windows up to 24 hours. After expiry, the carry is removed and associated blobs are purged.
What is 3-strike shredding?
When a PIN is enabled, three incorrect PIN attempts trigger an immediate shred: carry metadata and linked file storage are removed so the link stops working right away.
What is ephemeral PDF delivery?
A Carry link opens an ephemeral viewer for your handoff. Files are not kept as a browsable archive in CarryDocs; after expiry or shred, the link returns a dead state and assets are removed from storage—ideal when you need delivery, not a permanent cloud folder.
What is the Executive document protocol?
It is CarryDocs’ model for professional handoffs: upload once, set protocol (expiry, optional PIN, optional view-only), share a single link or QR with stakeholders, and let the system shred on schedule or on policy.
How is this stateless file sharing?
Carries are handoffs, not an executive digital vault for indefinite retention. Content exists for the active window you configure; then the protocol removes carry metadata and stored blobs in line with expiry and shred rules—aligned with privileged information protocol expectations for time-bound access.
