Privacy · Controls and limits
Every protection needs a scope, a status, and a limit people can understand.
This is a concept simulator: it helps explain choices and does not calculate a security score.
This visualization shows how controls change. It does not represent a security score.
The exposure level is conceptual and reflects how much information you potentially share. SmileChat is designed for you to control every aspect, not to collect data.

A privacy label is not enough. You need to know what a feature protects, where it acts, and which choice still depends on you.
SmileChat avoids absolute promises: a protected conversation still depends on device condition, participants, and the surrounding environment.
End-to-end encryption is confirmed for private 1:1 chats. Secret Chat adds controls for sensitive moments; temporary messages can be explored locally.
One-use links and encrypted calls are planned. Live Typing remains in development when it involves presence between people.
Local identity, contact checking, and encrypted-backup recovery are confirmed in the product.
Final documentation must explain how the backup is protected, what happens when a device changes, and which signals should be checked outside the application.
A PIN and biometric access are planned. Protected local data remains in development, while clearing the local view can be tried in the Web Beta.
A duress PIN and decoy profiles belong to Vision. They are not presented as guaranteed defenses against physical access or specialist analysis.
Protecting content is not the same as removing all information needed to connect, deliver, or prevent abuse. The final application policy must describe that data precisely.
A screenshot, an unlocked screen, malicious software, or another person’s decision can expose what appears on a device.
If you find a genuine issue, keep only the evidence needed, do not access other people’s data, and avoid actions that interrupt the service.
