Rockliffe developed StealthChat specifically to help you
maintain and control your privacy and security. One of our
primary design goals for StealthChat was to minimize the amount
of machine readable information that we store about you. For
various technical reasons, it is not possible to develop
StealthChat without storing any information about you. This
document provides a detailed explanation of our Privacy Policy
for the very limited amount of information that we receive from
your StealtChat app. It talks about what information we collect
and how this will affect you. It also explains the steps we take
to protect your information that we can access.
When
we say “StealthChat,” “Our,” “We,” or “Us,” we’re talking
about Rockliffe Systems, Inc. This Privacy Policy applies to all
StealthChat apps and services (StealthChat for Android,
StealthChat for iOS, the StealthChat server, the StealthChat
website).
We receive the following information when you register and use
StealthChat:
- Your Account Information. You provide
your mobile phone number to register StealthChat. You may also
provide optional information for your account, such as a profile
name, a profile picture, and a personal status message.
- End to End Encryption. When you initiate a new 1:1
chat session or group chat session, the end devices generate
public and private key pairs and exchange keys. All encryption
keys are stored on end devices; there are no encryption keys
stored on the StealthChat servers.
- Your Messages
in Transit. StealthChat performs end-to-end encryption of all
information that is sent between users, including messages,
pictures, files, voice messages and voice-over-IP calls.
Messages, pictures, files and voice messages pass through the
StealthChat servers and are deleted as soon as they are
delivered to the recipient. Voice-over-IP data is sent
peer-to-peer and does not pass through the StealthChat servers.
- Your Data at Rest. Encryption Keys, your message
history, your pictures, files and voice message history is also
stored on your device in encrypted storage using industry best
practices such as AES/EAX encryption using PBDKF2 derived from
your password.
- Your Contacts. StealthChat performs
“friend finding” on your device and does not upload a copy of
your contacts to the StealthChat server. StealthChat will
automatically add other registered StealthChat users it finds in
your phone book to your StealthChat roster and your StealthChat
roster is also stored on the StealthChat servers. StealthChat
group members are stored on the StealthChat servers.
- Customer support. You may provide us with
information related to your use of StealthChat to debug problems
and performance issues.
- Usage and log information.
We collect anonymized service related diagnostic information to
help us to improve the quality and reliability of StealthChat.
This include information your activity (such as how you use
StealtChat), log files, diagnostics and crash dumps.
- Device and Connection Information. We collect
device-specific information when you use StealthChat, including
your device hardware model, operating system information,
network information for diagnostic and troubleshooting purpose.
- Status Information. We collect information about
your online status and personal status message on the
StealthChat servers, such as whether you are online, when you
last used StealthChat and when you last updated your personal
status message.
- Location Information. When you
share your location with your contacts, that information is
encrypted and sent through the StealthChat servers. We do not
have access to the data and we do not save this information.
- IP Information. We temporarily record your IP
information when you send and receive messages and files and
when you make voice-over-IP calls. Your IP address is
automatically purged once the connection is dropped.
- Cookies. The StealthChat apps and servers do not
use cookies. The StealthChat website uses Cookies only to
improve your usage experience. No personal information is stored
in the cookies and the cookies are not accessible by any third
party. We do not allow any third party to place cookies or
collect other information through the StealthChat website.
Information will not be shared with any third-party dealing in
any other product or service, unless we are complying with a
subpoena or court order.
- Information others
provide about you. We receive information from other users that
may include information about you. For example, when one of your
friends registers to use StealthChat and they have your contact
information in their phone book then their device will add you
to their StealthChat roster (just as your device would do if you
had your friend’s contact data in your phone book).
- Third party providers. We work with third party
providers to help us operate, provide, improve, understand,
customize, support, and market StealthChat. For example, we work
with a third-party company to report crash dumps. These
providers may give us information about you in certain
circumstances. For example, an app store may provide us with
reports to diagnose and fix service issues.
- Third Party Applications. StealthChat permits you to
share your information with third-party apps. When you use third
party apps to share StealthChat information, the privacy terms
of those apps will govern your use of those services.
If you would like to manage, change, limit, or delete your
information, we allow you to do that through following tools:
-
Services Settings. You can manage your contacts and groups and
can use the Block feature to manage the users with whom you
communicate. You can use the Burn feature to limit the time that
a message is displayed on the screen after the recipient reads
it. You may also secure the information on your display by turn
on screen encryption feature.
- Change Profile Name and Picture, and Personal Status
Message. You can change your profile name, profile picture, and
personal status message at any time.
- Remove all Accounts and End Chat. After you reset your
account, remember that your information may be stored on our
StealthChat servers for a longer period. We periodically purge
inactive accounts on the servers. Please remember that even
after you have reset your account and/or deleted the StealthChat
application, your contact record may remain in the roster on you
friends devices.
