End-to-End Encryption

Every message, voice note, and piece of data you send through VeryClose is protected with military-grade encryption. This means only you and your partner can read your messages—not us, not anyone else.

End-to-End Encryption

AES-256-GCM Encryption

We use AES-256-GCM (Advanced Encryption Standard with 256-bit keys in Galois/Counter Mode), the same encryption standard trusted by:

  • U.S. Government agencies
  • Financial institutions worldwide
  • Healthcare organizations
  • Major tech companies
Key Management

Secure Key Management

Your encryption keys are generated on your device and never leave it unencrypted. Even if someone gains access to our servers, they can't read your messages.

  • Keys generated locally on your device
  • Private keys encrypted with your PIN/password
  • Secure key exchange during pairing
  • Multi-device support with encrypted backups
Zero Knowledge Architecture

Zero-Knowledge Architecture

We've designed VeryClose so that we genuinely cannot access your messages, even if we wanted to. We don't have your encryption keys, and we can't decrypt your data.

  • Messages encrypted before leaving your device
  • Server only stores encrypted data
  • No backdoors or master keys
  • Complete user control over data

Additional Security Features

PIN Protection

Add an extra layer of security with a 6-digit PIN or biometric authentication (Face ID/Touch ID).

Local Storage

Messages are stored locally on your device in an encrypted database, not on our servers.

Encrypted Backups

Your conversation metadata is backed up to Firebase, but all sensitive data remains encrypted.

Private Pairing

Connect with invite codes only. No phone number or contact list access required.

Secure Infrastructure

Built on Firebase and Google Cloud Platform with enterprise-grade security.

Open to Audits

We welcome security audits and are committed to transparency about our encryption.

Our Privacy Commitment

We Don't Read Your Messages

Your messages are end-to-end encrypted. We physically cannot read them, even if compelled by law.

We Don't Sell Your Data

We never have, and we never will sell your personal information to advertisers or data brokers.

We Minimize Data Collection

We only collect the minimum data necessary to provide our service—email, display name, and encrypted message metadata.

You Control Your Data

You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from within the app.
