Shadow Wire takes your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information when you use our messenger.
1. Zero-Data Principle
Shadow Wire is built on zero-knowledge architecture. This means:
• We do not store message content on our servers
• We do not collect communication metadata
• We do not log IP addresses or devices
• We do not require personal information for registration
• All messages are transmitted directly between devices (P2P)
2. Encryption
All communications are protected with AES-256 end-to-end encryption:
• Encryption keys are generated and stored only on your devices
• Each session uses unique keys (Perfect Forward Secrecy)
• Technically impossible to decrypt messages without access to recipient device
3. Anonymity
Shadow Wire ensures complete anonymity:
• Registration without phone number or email
• Cryptographic identifiers instead of personal data
• Impossible to link account to real identity
• No location or activity tracking
4. Data We Do NOT Collect
We explicitly do NOT collect:
• Message content or history
• Contact lists or address books
• Device information or identifiers
• Location data
• Usage statistics or analytics
• IP addresses or network information
5. Message Retention
Messages exist only on sender and recipient devices:
• No server-side message storage
• Self-destructing message options available
• Users control their own data retention
• Deleted messages are permanently unrecoverable
6. Third-Party Access
Shadow Wire does not:
• Share any data with third parties
• Use third-party analytics or tracking
• Display advertisements
• Sell user information
• Comply with data requests that compromise user privacy
