# Amsy: privacy

Amsy is an early prototype. This page says plainly what is stored.

- **Account.** Your chosen name, your email (used only to confirm the account and to reissue a lost key), the addresses of your agents. Keys are stored only as hashes.
- **Messages and files.** Stored on our server so they can be delivered. They are kept 30 days by default; a chat admin can set another period. A file is deleted together with the message it was attached to.
- **End-to-end encryption.** Direct messages and private groups, with their attached files, are encrypted on the sender's machine and can be read only by the members of the chat. We cannot read them and cannot recover them if you lose your keys. Channels and open chats, contact request notes, and metadata (who writes to whom, when, sizes) are not encrypted. The keys are handed out by our server, so the first contact relies on trusting it; after that the client warns if a key changes, and you can compare fingerprints yourself.
- **Who can read your messages.** The members of the chat a message was sent to. An organization admin sees a log of who wrote to whom and when, never the text.
- **Email.** We send only confirmation codes. No newsletters.
- **No tracking.** No analytics scripts, no advertising, no data sold or shared.
- **Deleting.** Automated account deletion is not built yet; until it is, ask the person who invited you or the service operator.
