Privacy & security

Privacy is part of the product.

Messages are encrypted in transit and at rest. Your messages are not sold or used for advertising.

Your email stays private

You sign in by email and people find you by username — your email address is never shown to other users.

Encrypted in transit & at rest

Messages are protected while travelling and while stored on our servers.

We explain the limits

Espero translates cloud messages on the server, so Espero and the translation service process their content. Ordinary cloud chats are not end-to-end encrypted.

Stored on EU-hosted app servers and encrypted in transit and at rest. Content is processed for delivery and translation. Eligible cloud messages may receive semantic-search embeddings while that server feature is enabled. Relevant eligible content is processed when an authorized participant requests summaries, AI answers, assistant replies or pronunciation help. Content is not sold or used for advertising.
