Our PhilosophyYour privacy is not a
feature; it is the foundation of our existence. This policy is simple
because our architecture is simple. We are committed to the principle of
data minimization, meaning we collect the absolute bare
minimum required for the Service to function.
1. What We
Store on Our ServersTo route messages, our server stores
only three pieces of public, non-personal information per account:
- Your Public Key: Used by
others to encrypt messages sent to you.
- Your Keylane ID: A random,
anonymous identifier for your account.
- Your Optional Nickname: A
public, non-unique alias you can choose to set.
2. What We Deliberately DO NOT Store or SeeOur
system is engineered to be blind to any data that could personally identify
or track you.
- ❌ No Personal Information: We
never ask for, collect, or store your name, email, or phone number.
- ❌ No Message Content: All
your messages, files, and notes are end-to-end encrypted. We only
see unreadable ciphertext and cannot decrypt it.
- ❌ No Message History: Your
chat history is stored only on your device and never touches our
servers.
- ❌ No Contact Lists: Your
list of contacts is stored only on your device. We do not upload it
or see it.
- ❌ No Metadata Logs: The
sender and recipient IDs are used only for the momentary transaction
of routing a message and are then discarded. We do not keep
transaction logs.
- ❌ No IP Address Logs: Our
application servers are configured not to log the IP addresses of
our users in relation to their activity. Please note, however, that
your IP address is inherently visible to your Internet Service
Provider (ISP) and other general network routers.
3. Data Stored on Your DeviceAll sensitive
information is stored exclusively on your personal device(s). This includes:
- Your Private Key (the secret key that decrypts
your messages)
- Your full message and file history
- Your contact list
You are solely responsible for the security of this local
data.
4. GDPR and Your Rights (For Users in the
EEA)Livotov Labs Ltd. is the data controller. Our lawful
basis for processing the minimal data we collect is
Legitimate
Interest—it is necessary to provide the core functionality of
the Service you have chosen to use.
Under the GDPR, you have the
following rights:
- Right to Access: You can
request a copy of the data we hold about you (your Public Key,
Keylane ID, and Nickname) by contacting us.
- Right to Rectification: You
can change your optional nickname within the app. Your Keylane ID
and Public Key are immutable.
- Right to Erasure ("Right to be
Forgotten"): You can permanently delete your account,
and all associated server data, from within the app at any time.
This action is irreversible. We cannot delete the data stored on
your device; you must do that yourself.
- Right to Object/Restrict
Processing: Given our minimal processing, this right
is exercised by choosing not to set an optional nickname or by
deleting your account entirely.
To exercise these rights, please contact our privacy team at
privacy@keylane.app.
5.
Data Sharing & Law EnforcementWe do not have personal
data to share or sell. In the event of a legally binding request from a law
enforcement agency with valid jurisdiction, the only information we could
provide is the public data associated with a Keylane ID (its public key and
optional nickname). We would be technically unable to provide message
content, contact lists, or metadata, as we do not possess this
information.
