Designed with privacy and security at its core

A unique approach to security

Only the local print server can decrypt the users' files, malicious actors cannot

Locally managed decryption keys

When a user uploads a document to Princh, it immediately gets encrypted, right until it is printed out. The decryption key for that document is created and stored only on the local printer server or the designated printer.

As a consequence, neither Princh nor any third party can access the contents of documents submitted to Princh. This greatly reduces attack surfaces for malicious actors, making our solution much safer compared to traditional ones.

No file attachments

When someone scans a document with Princh, we do not just attach their scanned files to an email. Instead, we encrypt the documents and host them on our servers. The documents are only decrypted when the user fetches them via a link they receive.

Our scanning solution allows you to comply with modern privacy and security requirements while offering a convenient and straightforward user experience.

Users decrypt scanned documents by downloading them from our server

Document titles are masked, keeping potentially sensitive data hidden

Complete user privacy

Princh goes the extra mile to protect your users’ privacy. As there are no user accounts or logins, users never have to identify themselves to print.

Additionally, document titles are anonymized by default, meaning we only store the first five characters of the file name and its extension. Last, but not least, all processed documents are automatically deleted from the system after 24 hours.

Questions & Answers

It means our information security management system is certified to one of the world’s most rigorous standards. Which means that we meet global best practices for data security, risk management, and regulatory compliance.

Yes. With cloud based pull printing every attached printing location must be able to download and process the content of any submitted file. This creates a potentially very large, global attack surface for malicious actors. Princh can manage unique decryption keys even at individual printers which guarantees that only the printer selected by the user can decrypt the user’s document.

Yes. Princh is developed with privacy and security by design and default principles to ensure compliance with data protection regulations like the EU's GDPR, CCPA, and other similar regulations.

Princh uses state-of-the-art asymmetric encryption, which ensures that nobody, not even Princh, can access the contents of the users' documents.

Yes, you do. When offering a public printing service you are responsible as a data controller to guarantee the privacy and security of the user’s personal data. This is true, no matter what vendor or solution you chose for delivering the service. If you are using Princh or a comparable solution, you need to have a data processing agreement. You need a DPA for any printing service, not just Princh. If users can print at your organization, you become responsible for their processed data. Without a DPA that clearly outlines how this data is processed, you are putting your organization at risk for when a data breach happens.
