Privacy, in plain words

What we keep, for how long, and who can see it.

Everything travels encrypted

Messages, your contact list, your password, files, webcam pictures, voice chat and the setting up of calls are encrypted before they leave your computer.

Calls are the exception

The sound and picture of voice and video calls aren't encrypted. They go straight between the two computers when they can, so each side learns the other's IP address, and through our server otherwise.

Messages are kept for 90 days

Stored unencrypted, including what the other person wrote, unless you opt out in the client.

Spam reports

When you report someone, we keep the report for 180 days.

Email is for recovery only

Used for password resets and security notices. Nothing else.

Only the cookies sign-in needs

No analytics. The only third-party script is Cloudflare Turnstile on the sign-in, registration and password recovery forms, which checks that a person sent them.
