Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

We take a minimalist approach to data collection:

• Where a Vaelara product requires authentication (e.g. Secure Video), we collect only your email address for user authentication and account management.
• When you submit an enquiry through our website contact form, we collect the information you voluntarily provide (name, email, country, organisation, and message) solely for the purpose of responding to your request.
• We do not collect or store any session content from Vaelara communications products. Vaelara cannot access the content of any session on any of our platforms.
• Vaelara Mesh collects no data whatsoever. No phone numbers, no email addresses, no IP addresses, no location data, no analytics, no crash reports. Messages exist only on the devices of the participants.

How We Use Your Information

Your information is used only for the following purposes:

• To verify your identity when you log in to the Vaelara app (email address).
• To respond to inquiries submitted through our website contact form.
• To send essential service notifications.
• To communicate important updates about our platform.

We will never use your information for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

Data Security

We implement robust security measures to protect your information:

• All video calls conducted through Vaelara are protected by end-to-end encryption.
• We do not have access to the content of your video calls.
• We employ industry-standard security protocols to protect against unauthorized access.
• We are registered with the ICO and comply with UK data protection laws.
• We are compliant with GDPR requirements.

Sharing Your Information

We do not share your email address or any other information with third parties, except:

• As required by law.
• To protect the rights and safety of Vaelara, our users, or the public.
• With trusted service providers who assist us in operating our platform, subject to strict confidentiality agreements.
