The Secure Messenger Alternative for Businesses

Protect your private and business communication with a messenger that consistently focuses on data protection.

The Downside of Popular Messaging Services

WhatsApp is the most widely used messenger worldwide – but this convenience comes at a price. With the acquisition by Meta (formerly Facebook), the privacy policies have been increasingly weakened. Today, WhatsApp shares extensive metadata with the parent company, posing significant risks for both individuals and businesses.

Lack of Data Sovereignty

WhatsApp stores user data on foreign servers and shares metadata with Meta – you lose control over your own communication data.

Insufficient Protection of Sensitive Information

The mandatory phone number and automatic contact synchronization in WhatsApp endanger your contacts’ privacy and make you vulnerable.

Not GDPR-Compliant for Business Communication

WhatsApp does not meet the strict European data protection standards for businesses, which can lead to legal risks and potential fines.
