Klu Data Security and Message Handling

At Klu, we prioritize your privacy and data security. Here’s how we manage user messages and data:

1. No Server Storage of User Messages

Local Storage: All user messages are stored locally in the browser. This means that Klu does not store your messages on our servers, ensuring that your conversations remain private and secure.
Privacy Assurance: Since messages are not stored on our servers, we cannot access or view your messages. Your data is yours alone.

2. Browser-Specific Storage

Device Limitation: Because messages are stored in the browser, you will not see your chat history if you log in from a different browser or device. Each browser maintains its own local storage, which means your messages are not synced across different browsers.
User Experience: This design choice enhances privacy but may limit accessibility if you switch devices or browsers.

3. Cloud Sync Implementation

Future Plans for Syncing: To enable chat synchronization across devices, we plan to implement a "cloud sync" feature. This will allow users to access their chat history from any device while maintaining data security.
Encrypted Storage: The challenge with cloud sync is to store chats on our servers in an encrypted format. This way, even though the messages are stored in the cloud, they remain unreadable to us and secure from unauthorized access.

4. Encryption for Security

Data Protection: When we implement cloud sync, all messages will be encrypted before they are sent to our servers. This ensures that even if data is intercepted, it cannot be read without the proper decryption keys.
User Control: Users will have control over their data, and we will ensure that only authorized users can decrypt and access their messages.

Conclusion

Klu is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your data remains secure. By storing messages locally in the browser and planning for encrypted cloud sync, we aim to provide a balance between accessibility and security. Your conversations are private, and we are dedicated to maintaining that privacy as we enhance our features.
