circle.me is a private, secure, accountable messaging service that allows you to send messages and files and know when the recipient has opened them.

• Messages cannot be printed or forwarded.


• The sender's name is not attached to the message leaving no link between the actual message and the sender.


• If you use the EXPRESS option to send a message to an e-mail address the message can only be read one time.


• The recipient does not know who else the message was sent to so important e-mail addresses are not shared with other people.


• You can share your thoughts openly without fear that your message will be read by someone else.

• You receive a notification when each recipient reads the message.


• You can un-send a message if it has not been read yet.


• You can access an audit log that tells you if and when the message and its associated files have been read.


• You no longer have to wonder if someone got the message. If they got it then you get notified. If you haven't been notified then they have not yet read the message. Messages cannot be printed or forwarded.

What happens next?

2. Once the recipient clicks on the link, a separate viewing window will appear with the subject and body of the message you sent. Please note that unless you typed your name into the body of the message, your name will not appear anywhere on the viewing window.
3. As soon as the recipient clicks on the link, a separate notification is sent to your email address letting you know the recipient has viewed the message. You can now rest easy knowing your secure message has been delivered!
4. Once the recipient closes the viewing window, the link will go dead and the recipient will no longer be able to access the message.

Building Circles

circle.me allows you to create circles of interest and invite people to join. These circles give you the ability to send messages to all of the members of your circle at one time or to be selective about who you send the message to. The advantage to messages sent to members of your circle is that the messages can be read more than once by entering their secure password. Unlike an express message, circle members are required to create a user profile and are asked to enter their unique password before each viewing of the message, allowing for repeated views while still maintaining security and confidentiality.

If you want to build a list of regular recipients based on some sort of affiliation (project, team, church group, any list of people involved in some common activity), you can create a circle. You can create a separate circle for each type of affiliation. To create a circle, simply give the circle a name and type in the recipient's email addresses you wish to join. An invitation will then be sent to each of those people prompting them to create a use profile if they do not already have one. You will be notified when they join and you're ready to start sending confidential messages to your circle members and know exactly when they received the message.
