 SimpleX network operators are not communication service provider, and provide public relays "as is", as experimental, without any guarantees of availability or data retention. The operators of the relay servers preset in the app ("Preset Server Operators"), including SimpleX Chat Ltd, are committed to maintain a high level of availability, reliability and security. SimpleX client apps can have multiple preset relay server operators that you can opt-in or opt-out of using. You are and will continue to be able to use any other operators or your own servers.

-Additional technical information can be stored on the network servers, including randomly generated authentication tokens, keys, push tokens, and other material that is necessary to transmit messages. SimpleX network design limits this additional technical information to the minimum required to operate the software and servers. To prevent server overloading or attacks, the servers can temporarily store data that can link to particular user devices, including IP addresses, geographic location, or information related to the transport sessions. This information is not stored for the absolute majority of the app users, even for those who use the servers very actively.
