Does the company log timestamps/IP addresses? Yes<br/><br/>This is incorrect, we never logged IP addresses and access timestamps of the users.<br/><br/>Further, the private message routing that is now enabled by default for all users prevents such logging by any 3rd party servers with modified code:<br/><br/><a href="https://simplex.chat/blog/20240604-simplex-chat-v5.8-private-message-routing-chat-themes.html">https://simplex.chat/blog/20240604-simplex-chat-v5.8-private-message-routing-chat-themes.html</a> 2024-08-24T12:12:27Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsgr94qu7f893mj2sfp3g4mm3uxrph45ccch6ml4pktcgv2tcgw79gzypzrj0lcegs7mk5w0egs5tv2a7g7ddcl7wyknf5mx43pt0a59wkpjyrwtrg In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsr7jnyrwvv8gw73ddr34np9t69xczzuxf28csldeqangd0rm0p42skgrmwm'>nevent1q…rmwm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>4. Directory service could be modified to enable a MITM attack? Yes<br/><br/>This is incorrect, as there is no user directory service, and MITM by relays is not possible by design, even without optional security code verification (that exists to mitigate MITM by the channel you used to pass one-time invitation link, e.g. email). 2024-08-24T12:12:08Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsr7jnyrwvv8gw73ddr34np9t69xczzuxf28csldeqangd0rm0p42szypzrj0lcegs7mk5w0egs5tv2a7g7ddcl7wyknf5mx43pt0a59wkpj8mkfs5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgcqp486f657eeazrcd4jxq8ux9avvkadry3rallel9kx6vllgdrsn755yj'>nevent1q…55yj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>3.

Company jurisdiction: UK<br/><br/>We disagree that there are any jurisdictions that are particularly good for privacy. Also, this might be important for centralised services, like Threema, where the users can&#39;t host servers, and much less important for decentralized network, such as SimpleX, where there are hundreds (if not thousands) of servers that we don&#39;t control. 2024-08-24T12:11:07Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsr8nv5l5s7ur8p0p630ejlaz4tsfz3vvck442q6hv7gryaezw2vsqzypzrj0lcegs7mk5w0egs5tv2a7g7ddcl7wyknf5mx43pt0a59wkpjfmx0s3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqr4x5elqh9nhtw6n5faj6jf28xq7rty0qyzxhyqecqvkwl2x493c9mcdkm'>nevent1q…cdkm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>1.
