Effective date: June 03, 2018
Chiota is an open source Chat App, which uses the IOTA tangle and your smartphone storage to store your encrypted information and messages. In addition to that your user image will be stored in my blob storage account (since it’s really slow to upload an image to the tangle). The only information I have access to is your uploaded user image. You can use Chiota without a user image!
Warning: Chiota is still in an early beta status. In addition, you probably will lose all your contacts with the next IOTA snapshot. It’s not recommended to use any IOTA seed, which stores any valuable information or money. Furthermore, I cannot guarantee the security of the encryption or any other part of the app.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact me, David Hawig:

- Name
- Documents (device folders and files)
- Camera
Your name or username is used as your chat contact name. Access to documents is used to upload a user image and the camera is used for scanning the QR Codes.
No!
All information stored on your device will be deleted if you delete the app. The encrypted information you upload to the tangle is currently stored on the tangle until the next snapshot. Since I don’t have any access to this data and it’s stored and uploaded by you, I can not delete this information. If you want me to delete your user image on my blob storage, just write me an email.
