Telepal for Messenger is developed based on
Telegram Messenger Official open source project.
The code follow
GNU GPL v.2 or Later Permission.All users' data is saved on Telegram Messenger official server, we
will never abuse users' data in any way.
We never share your data with anyone.
No.
Telepal for Telegram Messenger only
stores the data it needs to function properly — for as long as you want Telepal
for Telegram Messenger to function.
Telepal for Telegram Messenger is a
cloud service based on Telegram offical. We don't store messages, photos,
videos and documents , all data from your chat is stored on Telegram official servers, we also get
data from Telegram official server so that you can access your data from any of
your devices anytime and use our instant server search to quickly access your
messages from way back. All data is stored heavily encrypted and the encryption
keys in each case are stored in Telegram official several other DCs in
different jurisdictions. This way local engineers or physical intruders cannot
get access to user data.
Secret chats use end-to-end encryption. This means that
all data is encrypted with a key that only you and the recipient know. There is no way for us or anybody else without direct
access to your device to learn what content is being sent in those messages. We
do not store your secret chats on our servers. We also do not keep any logs for
messages in secret chats, so after a short period of time we no longer know who
or when you messaged via secret chats. For the same reasons secret chats are
not available in the cloud — you can only access those messages from the device
they were sent to or from.
When you send photos, videos or files
via secret chats, before being uploaded each item is encrypted with a separate
key, not known to the server. This key and the file’s location are then
encrypted again, this time with the secret chat’s key — and sent to your
recipient. He can then download and decipher the file. This means that the file
is technically on one of Telepal for Telegram Messenger’s servers, but it looks
like a piece of random indecipherable garbage to everyone except for you and
the recipient. We don’t know what this random data stands for and we have no
idea which particular chat it belongs to. We periodically purge this random
data from our servers to save disk space.
Telepal for Telegram Messenger uses
phone numbers as unique identifiers, so that it is easy for you to switch from
other messaging apps (SMS, WhatsApp, etc.) and retain your social graph. We ask
your permission before syncing your contacts.
We store your contacts in order to
notify you as soon as one of your contacts signs up for Telepal for Telegram
Messenger and to properly display names in notifications. We only need the
number and name (first and last) for this to work and store no other data about
your contacts.
When you enable 2-step-verification for
your account, you can opt to set up a password recovery email. This address
will only be used to send you a password recovery code, if you forget it.
That's right: no marketing or “we miss you” bullshit.
If you would like to delete your
account, you can do this on the deactivation page. Deleting your account permanently removes
all your messages, groups and contacts. This action must be confirmed via your Telepal
for Telegram Messenger account and cannot be undone.
Everything you delete is deleted
forever. Except for cats.
We never delete your funny cat pictures, we love them too much.
When you delete a message, you delete it
from your message history. This means that a copy still stays on the server as
part of your partner‘s message history. As soon as your partner deletes it too,
it’s gone forever. Telepal for Telegram Messenger is a non-commercial project and
we value the disk space on our servers greatly.
Messages in Secret Chats can be ordered
to self-destruct. As soon as such a message is read (2 checks appear), the countdown starts.
When the time is out, both devices participating in a secret chat are
instructed to delete the message (photo, video, etc.).
Telepal for Telegram Messenger is not a
commercial organization and we value our disk space greatly. If you stop using Telepal
for Telegram Messenger and do not login for at least 6 months, your account
will be deleted along with all messages, media, contacts and every other piece
of data you store in the Telepal for Telegram Messenger cloud. You can change
the exact period after which your inactive account will self-destruct in
Settings.
This feature was introduced on November
19, 2014. Since the default self-destruct setting for Telepal for Telegram
Messenger accounts is 6 months, accounts that have last been active before
November 19, 2014 have begun self-destructing on May 19, 2015. This is a slow
process, but they will all be gone soon.
