Privacy Policy

Effective 13 May 2026

This is the privacy policy for Vojo, a chat app built on the open - Matrix protocol. It's maintained by - the Vojo Project, an independent developer. If you have questions about anything - here, write to vojochatdev@gmail.com.

How Vojo works

+

+ Vojo is a chat app built on the open + Matrix protocol, maintained by the Vojo + Project, an independent developer. Your messages, profile and rooms live on a Matrix + server. By default that's vojo.chat, which we run. You can also sign in to + any other Matrix server you trust — if you do, the operator of that server holds your + data, not us. We try to keep this short; if anything is unclear, write to + vojochatdev@gmail.com. +

-

We try to keep this short and readable. If something is unclear, ask.

+

What we hold, and why

+

+ To run the app we keep your account and profile, the messages and rooms you send and + receive, the media you share, and basic technical data such as your IP address and + connection times. Your device also caches messages and keys locally so you can read + offline and stay signed in. +

-

How Vojo works, briefly

-

Your messages, profile and rooms live on a Matrix server. By default that's - vojo.chat, which we run. You can also sign in to any other Matrix - server you trust — if you do, the operator of that server is the one holding your - data, not us.

+

+ We process this to deliver and sync your messages and to ring your phone for calls — + that's our agreement with you. We keep limited logs to fight spam and abuse, which is our + legitimate interest. Optional features run only if you turn them on, with your consent. We + don't advertise, run analytics in the app, sell your data or profile you. +

-

What we hold and what we use it for

-

To make the app work we keep the obvious things: your account, the messages and - rooms you send and receive, the media you share, and basic technical data (IP - address, connection times) generated when your device talks to our servers. Your - device also caches messages and keys locally so you can read them offline and stay - signed in.

+

+ You can turn on end-to-end encryption per chat. It isn't on by default: in a chat without + it, our server can see message content. With it on, we can see who's talking and when, but + not what's said. Voice and video calls are encrypted between participants and may pass + through our servers in transit; we don't record or store them. +

-

Direct conversations are end-to-end encrypted by default. In an encrypted room - we can see who's talking to whom and when, but not what they're saying. In an - unencrypted room we see the content too.

- -

Voice calls are encrypted between participants. When your device can't reach the - other side directly, the audio is relayed through our infrastructure on its way - through — we don't record it and we don't keep it.

- -

We use this data to run the service: deliver messages, sync your devices, ring - your phone for incoming calls, keep limited logs to fight abuse and spam. That's - the whole list. No advertising, no analytics, no resale, no profiling.

+

Vojo AI

+

+ Vojo AI is an optional assistant. You don't have to use it — but if you start a one-to-one + chat with it, every message you send in that chat is forwarded to third-party AI providers + to write the reply: Grok by xAI (USA) and Google's Gemini (USA). In a group chat, only + messages that mention it are sent. If a reply needs current information, your question may + also be sent to Google Search to look it up. Each provider handles your text under its own + privacy policy. By using Vojo AI you agree to your messages being sent to these providers + to generate replies. Because they are in the United States, this transfers that content + outside the EU; the transfer relies on your explicit consent to this optional feature. + Replies are AI-generated and can be confidently wrong, so treat them as a first draft and + please don't send secrets. You can read the providers' policies at + x.ai/legal/privacy-policy + and + ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms. +

Who else is involved

-
    -
  • Our hosting provider. The - Hostinger - infrastructure carrying vojo.chat sits in the European Union.
    • -
  • Google's push service. Push notifications go through Google so your - phone can wake up and ring or buzz. For end-to-end encrypted chats the - notification only carries the routing info needed to fetch the message - locally — the content stays on your Matrix server. For unencrypted chats - Google may see a short preview (who, where, snippet). This is the only - routine reason data leaves the EU; we rely on the Standard Contractual - Clauses for that transfer.
    • -
  • Bot checks. Signing up, and a couple of optional features, briefly - load a third-party "are you a human" check. That provider sees your - interaction with the puzzle and is governed by its own privacy policy.
    • -
  • Optional bridges. If you choose to connect Telegram, Discord or - WhatsApp through Vojo, your messages with those networks have to pass - through bridge infrastructure we run, and the network itself sees them - too. None of this turns on unless you opt in.

+ Push notifications go through Google so your phone can wake and ring. For encrypted chats + the notification carries only the routing info needed to fetch the message locally; for + unencrypted chats it may include a short preview. Signing up loads a Google + human-verification check (reCAPTCHA), and Google sees that interaction. If you choose to + connect another network you use, such as a messenger you already have an account on, your + messages with it pass through bridge infrastructure we run, and that network sees them too + — none of this is on unless you turn it on. +

+ +

+ Our servers are hosted in the European Union. Some of the above sends data to providers + outside the EU. Apart from the Vojo AI transfer described above (which relies on your + consent), those transfers are covered by Standard Contractual Clauses, or by an adequacy + framework where the recipient is certified under one; a copy of the relevant safeguards, + and the current list of providers, is available on request at the address above. +

Permissions on your phone

-

On Android we ask for: the microphone (only used during calls); notifications - (so we can show you messages and ring for calls); permission to show calls over - the lock screen and to keep a call running with the screen off; and network access. - That's it. We don't touch your address book, photo library, SMS, precise location - or call log.

-

How long we keep things

-

Your messages and account stay on your Matrix server until you delete them or - ask us to deactivate the account. Deletion is processed within about thirty days. - Server access logs are kept for no more than thirty days and then rotated out.

+

How long we keep things, and your rights

+

+ Your messages and account stay on your Matrix server until you delete them or ask us to + deactivate the account. There is no in-app delete button yet: to have your account + deleted, email vojochatdev@gmail.com with your + @username:vojo.chat ID (the steps and details are at + vojo.chat/delete-account). We complete + deletion within about thirty days. Server access logs are kept no longer than thirty days. + Data cached on your device is removed when you uninstall Vojo or clear its data in your + phone's settings. +

-

Data cached on your device goes away when you uninstall Vojo or clear its data - in your phone's settings. Signing out ends your session but doesn't always scrub - every cached message immediately — the cleanest reset is an uninstall.

+

+ If you live in the EU/EEA (and in many places elsewhere the law is similar), you can ask + us to show, correct, export or delete your data, restrict or stop a particular use, or + withdraw a consent you've given — and you can complain to your local data-protection + authority. Email the address at the top. Vojo isn't aimed at anyone under 16, and we don't + knowingly collect children's data. The current version of this policy always lives at + vojo.chat/privacy; if we change it in a way that + affects you, we'll update the date above and flag it in the app. +

+
-

Your rights

-

If you live in the EU/EEA (and in many other places the law works similarly), - you can ask us to show you what we hold, fix something that's wrong, delete your - data, hand it over in a portable form, or stop a particular use. You can also - withdraw any consent you've given for optional features, and complain to your - local data-protection authority if you think we're handling things badly. Email - the address at the top and we'll take it from there.

+ +

Что мы храним и зачем

+

+ Чтобы приложение работало, мы храним ваш аккаунт и профиль, отправленные и полученные + сообщения и комнаты, прикреплённые медиафайлы и базовые технические данные — IP-адрес и + время обращений. На самом устройстве хранится локальный кэш сообщений и ключей, чтобы + читать офлайн и не входить заново. +

- -

Ваши права

-

Если вы живёте в ЕС/ЕЭЗ (а во многих других местах закон работает похоже), вы - можете попросить нас показать, что у нас лежит, поправить неверное, удалить, - отдать в переносимом виде, остановить конкретное использование. Можно отозвать - согласие на дополнительные функции и пожаловаться в местный надзорный орган, если - кажется, что мы что-то делаем не так. Напишите на адрес сверху, и пойдём - разбираться.

- -

Дети, изменения, контакты

-

Vojo не рассчитан на людей младше 16 лет, и мы сознательно не собираем данные - детей. Если что-то поменяется так, что это вас реально касается, обновим дату в - начале и постараемся отметить это в самом приложении. Текущая версия всегда - лежит по адресу vojo.chat/privacy. По - любым другим вопросам: - vojochatdev@gmail.com.
