PRIVACY POLICY

1. INTRODUCTION

OFFLINE TECHNOLOGIES ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our decentralized communication systems and services.

We operate on principles of data minimization and zero-knowledge architecture. Our systems are designed to provide maximum privacy by default, with minimal data collection and processing.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Due to our decentralized and privacy-focused architecture, we collect minimal personal information. Our apps collect data locally on your device to provide functionality and enhance your user experience. Our apps do not collect, store, or process your data remotely on our servers. The following types of data may be collected locally in your device and may be shared through the distributed hash table used as the database:

• Personal Information: We may collect data you provide directly, such as your username, profile photo, financial information, or other information necessary for app functionality (e.g., user preferences).
• Usage Data: Information about how you interact with the app (e.g., features used, time spent, app settings). This data is stored locally on your device.
• Device Information: Data about your device (e.g., operating system version, IP address, device model, cryptograhic identifiers) to optimize the app’s performance, privacy, and security mechanisms.
• Communications: We do not have access to the content of your communications. All messages are end-to-end encrypted and not stored on our servers.

3. HOW WE USE INFORMATION

The limited information we collect is used for:

• improving the performance and functionality of our services
• To provide and personalize the app’s features
• Ensuring network security and integrity
• Complying with legal obligations, where applicable

4. DATA SECURITY

We implement advanced cryptographic protocols and security measures to protect your information:

• End-to-end encryption for all communications
• Zero-knowledge architecture that minimizes data exposure
• Decentralized storage to prevent single points of failure
• Regular security audits and updates

Albeit, it should be kept in mind that the security of your data is also dependent on the security features of your device and how you choose to manage your data. Offline will not take or accept any liability caused by its services in terms of security.

5. THIRD-PARTY DISCLOSURE

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your information to third parties. Due to our technical architecture, we generally do not have access to identifiable user data that could be shared or disclosed.

6. LEGAL COMPLIANCE

While we are committed to user privacy, we may disclose information if required by law. However, due to our technical architecture, we have limited ability to provide user-specific data in response to legal requests.

7. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

We don't intend any of our services to be used by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. YOUR RIGHTS

Since the data we collect is mostly stored locally on your device, you have full control over it. You can manage, modify, or delete the local data at any time using the app’s settings or your device’s settings. However, due to technical architecture of our services, it is impossible for us to manage, modify, or delete data and information that has been shared to the distributed hash table. If we change our practices in the future and begin collecting data remotely, we will update this policy and notify you accordingly.

9. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes through our services or website. By continuing to use the app, you agree to the updated Privacy Policy.
