Keep a record, if and when you choose.
Stow is an encrypted mobile evidence vault being designed for survivors of sexual and domestic violence. It is intended to help preserve information privately, without deciding what you should do with it.
There is no sign-up or evidence upload on this website. Stow is not an emergency service.
Why Stow
A record can matter. Making one must remain your choice.
Information can be difficult to keep safely, especially when a device, account or home may not feel private. Stow is being built to reduce that burden, not add to it.
The product is designed to encrypt records on the device before remote storage. It is also designed to support discreet use and clear exit controls. These are design aims still undergoing validation, not promises of safety.
How decisions are made
The person using Stow comes first.
Open each principle to see how it shapes the product. These are commitments for design and review, not claims that release checks have passed.
All four principles are visible. Choose one for detail. Swipe, scroll or choose a principle.
01 Your agency Your record remains yours to control.
Recording, keeping, sharing or removing information is your decision.
Stow must support choices without directing someone towards reporting.
02 Your privacy Less data, fewer traces, clearer choices.
Collect less, explain clearly and never use sensitive activity for marketing.
The public website does not accept evidence or run client-side analytics.
03 Honest limits No reassurance beyond what evidence supports.
Security, forensic and legal language must not exceed the evidence behind it.
Unverified behaviour stays labelled as unverified, even when tests pass.
04 Care before release Safety gates take priority over launch dates.
Stow remains unavailable while essential safety and runtime checks are open.
Schedule and appearance of progress do not override survivor safety.
Current status
Not ready to rely on yet.
Stow is pre-launch. Mobile runtime validation, independent security review and operational readiness work remain in progress.
We will not use unfinished work, test counts or reassuring language as substitutes for evidence that the product is safe to release.
Support now
Stow is not an emergency service.
Use a safer device if making a call or opening a support page could put you at risk. Calls and browsing may remain in device, account or network records.
