Your keys, your history
On sealed surfaces, Buzzio aims to be a blind relay, not a permanent cloud archive of private conversations.
Local-first history
- Readable private transcripts live in an encrypted database on your devices.
- Default sealed path does not offer a Buzzio-operated private web inbox.
- Uninstalling or losing a device without backup removes that device’s local copy.
Non-custodial keys
- Messaging keys derive from your 12-word phrase on-device.
- Buzzio staff cannot reset the phrase or unlock sealed chats for you.
- Optional encrypted backup unlocks only with a backup recovery key you control.
Never sold
Across sealed and shared modes, Buzzio does not sell messages, metadata, Buzzio IDs, community posts, Whisper content, backups, or wallet activity.
Shared-history storage exists to run rooms and feeds — not to fund advertising profiles.
Compared with other apps
| Pattern | Buzzio sealed default |
|---|---|
| Cloud-synced private inbox | Local SQLCipher history |
| Staff-assisted account restore | Non-custodial — phrase is the root |
| Ads-funded data pressure | No data sale |
Tips
- Enable encrypted backup before you switch phones.
- Phrase ≠ backup recovery key.
- Losing phrase + devices + unlockable backup means permanent key loss.
