At Telegram we think that the two most important components of Internet privacy should be instead:- Protecting your private conversations from snooping third parties, such as officials, employers,

etc.- Protecting your personal data from third parties, such as marketers, advertisers, etc.

“We never share your data with anyone. No”

Stores the data it needs to function properly — for

as long as you want Telegram to function.


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

Deleting your account permanently removes all

your messages, groups and contacts.

“Everything you delete is deleted forever. Except for cats.We

never delete your funny cat pictures, we love them too much.”
