Privacy

You may belong to many communities without exposing yourself to all of them.

QUEXXEN's privacy model is built on user control. Unlimited membership does not mean unlimited exposure. Membership creates an option for support — not permanent access to the user.

A refuge is available to the user. The user is not exposed to the refuge.

Organizational Privacy Firewall

What Refuge Organizations do not receive.

A church should not automatically learn that a user belongs to a domestic-violence community. A mental-health organization should not automatically see signals sent to a neighborhood Refuge Site. A participating business should not receive access to private family contacts. The user decides which organization receives each signal.

Other Refuge Organizations the user has joined
Signals sent to other organizations
The user's complete personal contact list
Private conversations with other groups
Unrelated recordings
Unrelated incident timelines
Continuous location
Historical Q Signal activity
Personal support history
Private Encounter Mode activity
Unrelated profile information

Unless deliberately shared by the user or required by applicable law, a Refuge Organization should not receive automatic access to the items above.

Sponsorship Firewall

Sponsored does not mean surveilled.

A church, clinic, school, employer, municipality, nonprofit, or other institution may help fund QUEXXEN access, training, infrastructure, or response capacity. That does not give the institution automatic access to a user's private life.

The organization may fund the infrastructure. The individual retains control.

Honest limits

No application can guarantee complete secrecy, prevent every misuse, or eliminate all digital-safety risks.

Specialized domestic-violence, youth, and vulnerable-person features will require consultation with qualified advocates, safeguarding professionals, privacy specialists, security experts, and legal counsel.

For emergencies, contact appropriate local emergency services.
