Security Disclaimer and Terms of Use

SecureBit.chat is provided as open-source software for lawful private communication, research, and education. It is supplied as is, without warranties of any kind.

User responsibilities

By using SecureBit.chat, you are responsible for:

  • complying with applicable laws and organizational policies
  • securing your devices and browser environment
  • verifying SAS codes through an out-of-band channel
  • understanding that endpoint compromise can defeat application-layer protections
  • configuring TURN correctly when relay-only privacy mode is required

Security limitations

No communication system can guarantee absolute security. SecureBit.chat reduces risk through encrypted transport, mandatory peer verification, explicit file-transfer consent, local metadata protection, and lifecycle cleanup, but it cannot protect against compromised devices, malicious users with physical access, or incorrect operational practices.

Intended use

SecureBit.chat is intended for legitimate private communication, journalism, research, education, business confidentiality, and personal privacy. It is not intended to facilitate unlawful activity, abuse, harassment, or harm.
