Privacy features question

Messenger
1

I’m assessing Status Wallet and Messaging app in regard to security.
I would like to know or get in contact with the team building it.

Here are a few questions:

  1. What type of tracking is done by the mobile apps? Such as IP, location etc?
  2. Encryption and backend decentralization: are message e-to-e encrypted? is the backend using Waku?
    3- Uptime: is the infra enterprise grade, meaning 99.99% uptime SLA?

Feature request:

  • Since Status and Logosare focusing on the Web3 “nation”. I think a great Feature would be “1-click war woom”. A pager-duty-like feature in the dapp (through a SaaS business model using SNT or other payment) so that the mobile phone can make the phone ring (no matter which not-disturb setting the user has) and create a war room chat group with the ppl that have been notified. This could be great for DEFI team.

Thanks a lot, happy to discuss here or in DMs

Tracking:

Due to the nature of Ethereum, we have to send your IP to an RPC provider. We tend to strip the IP address by routing requests through a proxy. In that sense, your IP address is visible to our proxy.

We don’t store your IP, the logs are only used to prevent abuse of the service.

We never track location.

Encryption:
Yes, Waku is the backend for chat. In addition to e2e encryption, Waku also has metadata protection.

SLA
There is no SLA at the moment. We are working on improving and measuring message reliability.

Feature Request
The community on Status might be a better place to get more attention to this feature.
