Your conversations are yours.

Privacy notice — 19 September 2026. ONICO LTD operates andsent. Contact: dan@onicogroup.com.

Your account and contacts

Google Firebase Authentication processes your phone number for verification and abuse prevention. Your display name identifies you to people you message. People who know your number can find your andsent account.

Contact sync is optional and needs your permission. Only allowed contact phone numbers are sent over HTTPS to our service and checked with Firebase. We do not retain them as an address book. Names, contact photos and notes remain on your device. Access can be limited or revoked in iPhone Settings.

Messages and calls

Messages and attachments are end-to-end encrypted. Our London Google Cloud server stores encrypted history and processes account IDs, conversation membership, conversation names, timestamps and connection data to deliver the service. Names, membership and delivery metadata are not end-to-end encrypted.

Voice and video media use end-to-end encryption. Calls are not recorded. Call history is stored on your iPhone. Apple supplies local translation and speech-recognition models; plaintext messages and captions are not sent to a cloud translation service.

Reports and retention

If you report a message, the selected text, message ID, your account ID and your reason are sent to support for review. Other messages are not disclosed. Reports are retained as needed to investigate abuse and meet legal obligations; contact support to request access or deletion.

Encrypted history is retained to deliver conversations unless removed by the service. A disappearing-message setting hides older messages in the chat and schedules server-history cleanup. Saved copies, downloaded media and caches may remain. Signing out removes this device’s keys; account deletion removes authentication and deactivates messaging. Copies held by recipients can remain.

Your choices

Delete your account in Settings, manage blocked people, limit contacts access, and disable microphone/camera/speech permissions at any time. For access, correction or deletion requests, email support. Processing is used to provide the service, prevent abuse and meet legal requirements. You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.

No advertising or cross-app tracking SDKs are used. Apple and Google process platform/authentication information under their own policies and may process data outside the UK. This notice will be updated when functionality changes.

Notifications

If you enable notifications, your device notification token is processed by Google Firebase and Apple to deliver generic message alerts. Message text is not included in those alerts.
