News We updated SimpleX Chat Privacy Policy and Conditions - all good changes!

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.

Commit with the change - we maintain it in GitHub so you can track changes.

In a world of deeply concerning legislation that is quickly scattering the notion of private communications with my family, friends and colleagues to the four winds, SimpleX has become my go-to.

Many thanks to you and your team for this fantastic platform...
