Privacy

Draft. This page summarises how Sparkwift is designed to handle data (docs/PRIVACY.md in our repository). It is not yet our legal privacy policy, which will be published before Sparkwift is available to the public. Sparkwift is in development, and some features described here are not built yet.

What Sparkwift stores today

• Your account: email address, username, display name, and your language, dialect and app-language choices. Passwords are stored only as Argon2id hashes.
• Your contacts, contact requests and the people you block.
• Your messages and the images you send. Messages show as written; they are not translated.
• Your posts and their images, your comments, your likes and the people you follow, and the translations of posts that readers asked for, kept so the next reader of that language gets them at once.

Voice calls

Voice calls, translated and plain, keep three commitments:

• Call audio is never stored. To translate a call, audio is held in memory only while one sentence is processed.
• Plain calls are end-to-end encrypted with keys created on your devices.
• Call transcripts exist only if both people in the call agree.

Your rights

Before launch, you will be able to export your data and delete your account from the app.
