We updated SimpleX Chat Privacy Policy and Conditions.
What changed:
Stronger privacy commitments:
- explicitly states that preset servers do not log IP addresses.
- you can verify clients and servers via reproducible builds.
quantum-resistant end-to-end encryption.
- messages are irreversibly removed from preset servers on delivery or after 21 days.
- transparency commitment by client apps.
New private one-time connection links and public addresses:
- your profile data is encrypted on the server - only people with the link can access it, not the servers.
- one-time link profile data is removed once the connection is established.
Public channels (beta):
- chat relays are used to deliver messages to channel subscribers.
- chat relays cannot identify subscribers.
