Perfect states are those quantum states from which a perfectly secure cryptographic key can be extracted. They present the basic unit of quantum privacy. In this work we show that all states belonging to this class violate a Bell inequality. This result establishes a connection between perfect privacy and non-locality in the quantum domain.
