How we protect and handle your data

Your Privacy Matters

Message Privacy

End-to-End Encryption Protection

Your messages are end-to-end encrypted and cannot be read by Skye Terminal or any third party.

Important Exception: The only exception is when a user explicitly reports content for Terms of Service violations - in such cases, the reported messages may be decrypted by the recipient's device and shared with our moderation team for review. We cannot access your messages unless they are reported by a participant in the conversation.
