Use this page as the public companion to the Play Console “Data safety” section. Values below describe the current offline client without cloud backend or ads SDKs.

Overview

Does the app collect data?Locally on device, yes. To our servers: No (app has no required backend).
Is data encrypted in transit?Mesh payloads use on-device encryption where implemented; radio is still local proximity.
Can users request deletion?Yes — uninstall / clear app data. See Delete data.
Independent security review?Not claimed at this time.

Data sharing

We do not sell personal information. Mesh “sharing” is peer-to-peer radio between user devices, not sale to data brokers. Website hosting (Cloudflare) may process standard request logs.

Security practices

Account

No account required. There is no cloud login to close. Local identity deletion = app data wipe.
