ARTICLE 1 - BACKGROUND

.1.1Heaven's Email allows users to generate a message (and, for Premium Account users, also include attachments such as and information, text, photographs, graphics) which will be encrypted and subsequently transmitted by FM signal. It is intended to be used as a tool for grieving but the Heaven's Email Service is not intended to actually communicate with deceased persons or pets.

.1.2How Heaven's Email works:

  • When Your message is received by Our server, We generate a random secret key and use it to encrypt the message. After encrypting, we throw the secret key away (so that it cannot be used to decrypt the message) and store the message in our database awaiting transmission.
  • The encrypted message is sent to the transmitter site and then erased from the main server (We retain the to, from, and subject parts of the message for a short time after transmission to show in your account details).
  • The transmitter site translates the encrypted message to an audio signal representing the contents and broadcasts it via FM radio waves.
  • After it finishes transmitting, the remote site deletes its copy of the message and then updates the main server.
