Privacy Policy
Your conversations belong to you. We've designed Kursal so literally no one can access your messages.
Our Commitment
Kursal is built with privacy as its foundation. We believe your conversations belong to you, and we've designed our system to ensure we literally cannot access your messages.
Data We Don't Collect
Because the Kursal app is peer-to-peer and fully decentralized and we do not want to invade your privacy:
Data Peers Could Collect
Your encrypted messages go through public relays. Those relays can track some limited informations about you:
How Kursal Works
All encryption happens locally on your device. Messages are transmitted directly between peers using end-to-end encryption. There is no central server that processes or stores your communications. Even if your messages transit through public relays, no one but the receiver can decrypt them.
Website Data
This website does not use cookies but tracks the number of
visitors using Plausible, a privacy-friendly tracking platform (which will be self-hosted
in a near future).
If you sign up for our mailing list, your email is stored solely for

We will never distribute or sell your email! If you can't find the
unsubscription link or need assistance, you can always reach us on
our email for help.
Open Source
Kursal is fully open source. You can audit our code at any time to verify our privacy claims. We encourage security researchers to review our implementation.
