### Q: Why are Sends missing from my Send view?
|

|

**A:** By design, Sends are ephemeral. Each created Send has a **maximum lifespan of 30 days**, configurable when you [create a Send]({% link _articles/send/create-send.md %}) or at any time by editing it. When a Send's [Deletion Date]({{site.baseurl}}/article/send-lifespan/#deletion-date) is reached, it will be purged from Bitwarden systems and inaccessible to both the Sender and any recipients.

- **End-to-end Encrypted**: Data in a Send is encrypted on creation, and only decrypted when a recipient opens the Send link. The contents of a Send are stored **encrypted** in Bitwarden systems, just like a traditional Vault item. The link generated for each send doesn't contain any data related to the Send's contents, so it's safe to share over intermediary communications services without exposing information to Bitwarden or any used intermediary services.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Dynamically Ephemeral**: Sends are designed for ephemeral sharing, so every [Send that you create]({% link _articles/send/create-send.md %}) will have a specified [lifespan]({% link _articles/send/send-lifespan.md %}) (*max 30 days*) that can be configured using pre-set options or a custom timestamp for down-to-the-minute specification. When its deletion date is reached, the Send and its contents will be completely purged from Bitwarden systems. Using additional options like [Expiration Date]({{site.baseurl}}/article/send-lifespan/#expiration-date) and [Maximum Access Count]({{site.baseurl}}/article/send-lifespan/#maximum-access-count), you can ensure that access to recipients is terminated according to your needs.

- **Customizably Private**: Protect the contents of your Send by optionally [configuring a password]({{site.baseurl}}/article/send-privacy/#send-passwords) for access so that no unintended recipients can see the contained information. For text Sends, you can also optionally [require users to toggle visibility]({{site.baseurl}}/article/send-privacy/#hide-text) to prevent exposure to unintentional onlookers.
