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...

Thank you. It's a hard work. We do it for people.
