end-to-end encryption: why it matters for your messages

e2e encryptionencrypted messagingprivacy

you think your messages are safe, but most apps store them on their servers. iz is different — all messages are end-to-end encrypted.

what does end-to-end encryption mean?

your message is encrypted on your device and decrypted on the recipient's device. nobody in between — including iz servers — can read it.

iz uses AES-256 encryption. that's banking-level security for your conversations.

why this matters for iz

iz is built on anonymity and trust. when you match with someone through a trace, the conversation that follows should be completely private. no one should be able to read what you share — not us, not anyone.

this is especially important because iz connections start anonymously. the trust built through encrypted messaging is what makes these connections genuine.
