Controlled access
A smaller network by design
Privacy starts with collecting less.
PrivateChat is built for people who believe private
communication should not require surrendering a phone
number, an email address or an advertising identity.
-
01
Minimal account identity
Registration requires a username,
password and one-time voucher—no email or
telephone number.
-
02
Memory-hard password protection
Passwords are protected with Argon2. The
original password is never stored by
PrivateChat.
-
03
Hardened authenticated sessions
Production sessions use HttpOnly,
SameSite=Strict cookies. Only hashes of
session tokens are retained server-side.
-
04
Private room content
Room messages are encrypted on participant
devices. The relay handles encrypted
payloads rather than readable conversation
text.
A quiet resistance to mass data collection begins
with a trusted circle and less information left
behind.
PrivateChat reduces retained data and exposure. It
cannot secure a compromised device or guarantee
absolute anonymity against every form of network
observation.
