Security and Privacy
What does it mean for Hidy to be anonymous?
Being anonymous means that Hidy does not require any personal information or phone number to use the app. This ensures that your identity remains private and untraceable, giving you added security and protection while using the app to communicate with others.
Why is anonymity important in the context of Hidy?
Anonymity is crucial in protecting personal information and giving users control over what they choose to share with others. By using Hidy, you don’t have to worry about your personal data being compromised. Additionally, anonymity acts as an added layer of security within the app, as even if someone manages to access our network, they will not be able to obtain any information about you. In short, anonymity ensures that you have full control over your personal information and provides added protection for your communications.
How does a decentralized messaging system work and how does it differ from a traditional messaging system?
How can I be certain that my messages are properly encrypted while using Hidy?
Hidy uses a robust encryption protocol to ensure that your messages are secure at all times. When you initiate a conversation, we provide you with a unique and randomly generated key that is not transmitted over the network. This key is used to encrypt your messages and only you have access to it. This means that even if someone were to intercept your network traffic, they would not be able to read the messages without the key. Additionally, our decentralized architecture ensures that your messages are routed through multiple nodes, adding an extra layer of security to the transmission process. With these measures in place, you can rest assured that your messages are properly encrypted and protected while using Hidy.
Who can contact me?
Every person with a account in Hidy can contact you by entering your username into the search field and starting a new chat/call/walkie-talkie session. If you don’t want to communicate with any user of the app, you can always block him so the person will not be able to contact you anymore.
