"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.
