Your files are actually safer while stored in your Revest account than on your computer. Other people under your account cannot see your files and you cannot see their files.
Revest employees are prohibited from viewing the content of files you store in your Revest account. In addition, we employ a number of physical and electronic security measures to protect user information from unauthorized access. Always remember, a Revest employee will never ask for your account password.
