An inside look at the encryption, privacy controls, and account protections that keep your Talkmax conversations safe.
Trust isn't a feature you bolt on. It's the default state of every Talkmax conversation. When you message a friend, start a video call, or post to a channel, the protections are already on - no toggle, no upgrade, no security mode to remember to enable.
Here's how we think about privacy, and what it means for the messages, calls, and media you share on Talkmax.
Every 1-on-1 chat, group message, voice note, and call on Talkmax is end-to-end encrypted. That means the only devices that can decrypt your messages are the ones you and the people you're talking to are using. Not us. Not your carrier. Not whoever runs your Wi-Fi.
Encryption keys live on your devices and rotate automatically. If someone intercepted the traffic between you and a friend, they'd get a stream of unreadable bytes.
Two-step verification protects your account from SIM-swap attacks. Secure recovery options mean you can get back in if you lose your phone, without anyone else being able to impersonate you. We send security notifications when a new device signs in to your account - and you can remotely log out of any device from your settings.
We don't keep your messages on our servers after they're delivered. We don't log who you called or for how long. We don't sell ads, so we don't profile your conversations. The boring answer is also the safest one: we collect what's needed to deliver your messages, and nothing more.
We publish security updates and post-incident reports on this blog, and we work with independent researchers through a public bug bounty program. If you spot something, tell us - we'd rather hear it from you than find out the hard way.
