Most apps say "we won't harvest your data" and point to their terms. That's a promise, and promises can be changed. Komms is built so the promise isn't needed. The architecture decides what we can see, not a policy page. Start on your device. Private messages and files are encrypted and signed locally, before anything leaves. Your keys and decryption stay with you. Komms never holds the keys, so we can't read private content even if we wanted to. Next, where the data goes. Encrypted content is stored on Hippius, #Bittensor Subnet 75, as ciphertext. The storage network holds data it can't open. Nobody in the chain of custody has the means to read it. #Kaspa records the order, timestamps and references. Never message content. Plaintext never goes on-chain. What's public is proof that something was sent and when, not what it said. Then the indexing layer. The Komms subnet is built to index activity and power search, with an open network of operators scored by validators. It works on references and encrypted data, not on your private plaintext. Public channels are different, by design. They're readable by anyone, like an open forum, with verifiable authorship and tamper-proof ordering. Private stays encrypted. Public stays readable. The line is enforced by keys, not by policy. Compare "trust us" with "verify it." A policy can change after you've signed up. A system where Komms holds no decryption keys and plaintext never touches the chain can't be quietly reconfigured to read your private messages. This also means no single company can switch you off or lock you out of your history. Your business owns its data, not a platform. Decentralisation is what makes the privacy claim hold up. The point: a privacy promise is only as strong as the architecture behind it. Komms is built so that not harvesting your data is a property of the system, not a clause in our terms. Communication you can verify. $TAO $KAS
