Privacy is one of our core beliefs. We created a privacy policy to demonstrate this. Part of providing privacy means preventing your data from being snooped on.
Gliph secures data in ways that most other messaging clients (like Whatsapp, GroupMe and Kik) do not. There are also options out there that are a better fit for high security needs (like certain implementations of PGP and OTR).
With Gliph, conversations and personal data are encrypted by SSL over the wire. This information is then encrypted in memory using your password and AES-256. We have an option that renders your account and data unrecoverable without your personal password.
Our team is motivated to offering a great messaging experience, too. This means Gliph supports apps for the mobile web (HTML5), Android and iPhone.
We also have a variety of features for the privacy and security conscious user you might want to check out:
- You can suppress certain senders' names and message previews from Push Notifications.
- Gliph removes EXIF data from your photos before sending them on to the other person.
- You can permanently delete any message and remove it from both sides of the conversation.
I hope that helps answer your question. I'd be happy to talk further about this, my email is: rob | gli.ph.
