LAB HUB provides a Vault to secure sensitive data using End-to-End Encryption (AES 256). The system only stores encrypted data; you must remember your Vault PIN.
LAB HUB complies with privacy standards. You can request permanent full account deletion or partial deletion (messages, resources, etc.).
To ensure safety for internal projects and messages.
Open the app or web view, go to Settings -> Vault.
Enter a PIN of at least 6 characters. Warning: LAB HUB CANNOT help you recover this PIN if forgotten, meaning your E2EE data will be permanently locked.
