We built ESPOsocial to be the kind of app we'd want our own family and small group using — which means we'd rather under-promise and tell you exactly how it works than write vague, reassuring legal language that doesn't actually mean anything.
Your name and email, to create your account. The messages, group threads, and Tag videos you send — stored so you and the people you're talking with can see them. That's it. No location tracking, no contact-list scraping, no third-party ad trackers on this site.
When you start a live call, the video and audio travel directly between the two (or more) devices in the call — not routed through a company's server in the middle, the way most video-calling apps work. Our server's only job during a call is a quick introduction: it helps your device and theirs find each other, then gets out of the way. That's rarer, and more private, than almost anything commercial.
The honest catch: on some networks, a direct connection isn't possible, and the call may need to relay through a connection-assist server to work at all — in that case the server can see that a call is happening, but not see or store the video/audio content itself.
A Tag (an async video message) is stored — encrypted in transit — so the person you sent it to can watch it whenever they're ready. It's visible only to the people in that conversation or group. We don't watch it, scan it, or use it to train anything.
A group thread (a family, a small group, a Bible study) is only visible to the people added to it. Adding someone to a group is something a member does on purpose — nobody is added without a member choosing to add them.
Email us any time and we'll delete your account and the data tied to it. Messages you sent to someone else may remain visible to them, the same way a text message you've sent stays on the other person's phone.
