Privacy Policy
How we protect your data
Last updated: December 1, 2025
Overview
At HiddnChat, your privacy is our top priority. We use a zero-knowledge architecture, which means we cannot read your messages even if we wanted to.
Data We Collect
We only collect the absolute minimum data required to operate the service:
- Username (chosen by you, no email or phone number required)
- Encrypted message content (which we cannot decrypt)
- Account creation timestamp
Data We Do NOT Collect
Unlike other messaging platforms, we do not collect:
- Email addresses or phone numbers
- Contact lists or address books
- Location data, IP addresses, or device fingerprints
End-to-End Encryption
All messages are end-to-end encrypted using RSA-2048 + AES-256-GCM. Your private keys are generated and stored on your device and never leave it. We mathematically cannot read your messages.
Data Storage
Encrypted messages are stored on our servers in Germany, subject to GDPR. We only store encrypted ciphertext that is useless without your private keys.
