Privacy Policy - Secretly: Secure Messenger

Effective Date: 11/02/2026

Secretly is a private messaging application built with privacy, security, and data minimization as core principles. This Privacy Policy explains how Secretly (“we”, “us”, “our”) processes information when you use the Secretly application (“Services”).

  1. Information We Collect

Secretly collects minimal information. We do not collect any personal data unless explicitly provided by the user.

  • Messages: End-to-end encrypted, stored only temporarily on servers for delivery.
  • Metadata: Minimal data such as message delivery status and timestamp, not linked to identity.
  • No tracking or analytics unless the user explicitly opts in.
  1. How We Use Your Information

Information is used solely to:

  • Deliver messages securely to intended recipients.
  • Support user account operations (e.g., password recovery).
  • Improve the app’s security and reliability.

No user data is used for advertising or profiling.

  1. Data Sharing

We do not sell or share personal information with third parties. Only aggregated, anonymized metrics may be used for internal app improvement.

  1. Third-Party Services

Secretly does not integrate advertising or analytics SDKs by default. Any optional third-party service used with explicit user consent will be disclosed in-app.

  1. Screenshots & OS Limitations

Secretly uses operating system-level protections to enhance privacy. On certain platforms, the app may notify the sender if a screenshot is detected, rather than blocking it, due to OS limitations. Absolute prevention of screenshots cannot be guaranteed because of platform restrictions.

  1. Emergency / Panic Features

Secretly provides optional data segregation features to protect sensitive information in emergency situations.

  • Users may set up an alternate interface or quickly hide certain data.
  • These features are intended solely for personal data safety.
  • All emergency features are fully disclosed in-app.
  1. End-to-End Encryption

All messages are encrypted end-to-end. Keys are stored only on user devices, ensuring that messages cannot be read by Secretly or any unauthorized party.

  1. Data Retention
  • Messages: Deleted from servers after delivery, unless pending for offline recipients.
  • Metadata: Stored temporarily for delivery confirmation and then purged.
  • Account deletion triggers permanent removal of all data.
  1. Security Practices
  • AES-256 encryption for message content.
  • RSA/ECDH for key exchange.
  • Minimal server-side storage.
  • Regular security audits to maintain system integrity.
  1. User Consent

By using Secretly, users agree to this Privacy Policy and acknowledge the data practices described herein.

  1. Children’s Privacy

Secretly is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

  1. Account Deletion
  • Users can delete their account directly in the app via settings.
  • Account deletion permanently removes all messages and related data from servers.
  1. Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. Users will be notified via in-app message or email. Continued use of Secretly indicates agreement to the updated policy.

  1. International Users

Secretly app may be accessed globally. All data handling complies with applicable data protection laws, including GDPR for EU users.

  1. User Rights

Users may:

  • Request account deletion or data export.
  • Opt out of optional features that collect data.
  • Contact support for questions regarding data handling.
