 "We are a dedicated group of technologists who were given the time,  
opportunity and Internet access to build an awesome cloud storage  
service that will help protect your privacy. We have programmed this  
Internet service from scratch in Auckland, New Zealand. Unlike most of  
our competitors, we use a state of the art browser based encryption  
technology where you, not us, control the keys. Our design group  
includes Kim Dotcom, Mathias Ortmann, Bram van der Kolk, and Finn  
Batato. Our CEO, industry veteran Tony Lentino, has experience running  
a renowned global domain registry. We hope you like it."

MEGA is Cloud Storage with Powerful Always-On Privacy
MEGA provides robust cloud storage with convenient and powerful always- 
on privacy. MEGA believes in your right to privacy and  provides you  
with the technology tools to protect it. We call it User Controlled  
Encryption, or UCE, and it happens automatically.

What is MEGA User Controlled Encryption?
All files stored on MEGA are encrypted. All data transfers from and to  
MEGA are encrypted. And while most cloud storage providers can and do  
claim the same, MEGA is different – unlike the industry norm where the  
cloud storage provider holds the decryption key, with MEGA, you  
control the encryption, you hold the keys, and you decide who you  
grant or deny access to your files, without requiring any risky  
software installs. It’s all happening in your web browser!

MEGA Future
The MEGA cloud is just the beginning. In the future, MEGA will provide  
UCE in your browser for a wide range of applications without the need  
to install anything. Our technology will protect your emails, calls,  
chats and video streams.
