- For
- Privacy-minded chat users and software investigators
- Worth noticing
- It juxtaposes a “No data collected” Play Store form with Kloak's FAQ listing messages stored on its servers.
Field notes
The investigation follows a specific trail across Kloak's FAQ, privacy policy, terms, JavaScript bundles, app-store listing, and public founder commentary. It records a username, hashed secret key, messages, content, and membership records among the data described by the FAQ, while the Play Store form reportedly says no data is collected. The site also catalogs third-party hosts named in the production content-security policy, giving the privacy dispute a concrete technical layer.
