Copy API keys

I would add examples how data encryption works. This is so sensitive topic. But if you explain it nicely, people could use the service.

I would add FAQ. Boxes seem like I can read more but I can’t.

Added https://quickclip.space/data-security with encryption details. FAQ coming soon. Thanks for the feedback—explaining encryption clearly is important.
On the site:

> So while the image URLs aren't encrypted, they're still secure. Only you can access your images.

This isn't true though - and presumably you know it isn't true?

You would be able to access and download all the images if you wanted to.

> But we can't read the actual content of your encrypted items without your encryption key, and we don't have a reason to try.

This is also misleading - because you do have the encryption key, so you can read the content if you want to. "We won't read the content even though we could, because we don't currently have a reason" is the actual state of affairs.

thanks, I would work on that
