PreVeil Express (PVX) is a web application that allows for the creation and usage of a PVX account. A PVX and a full PreVeil account differ in that a PVX account is used solely on a web browser and is intended for light use of the PreVeil system while a full PreVeil account requires client software installation and carries a range of features.

We strongly recommend that you create a Recovery File, as this will allow you to recover your PreVeil encryption key should you need to do so. Your encryption key is what allows you to access your PreVeil account; if that encryption key is lost you will not be able to access your PreVeil account. If a Recovery File is not created at the time of the account creation, you can create one later via the instructions found here. |
