Privacy and security, built in

Turquoise was designed so that members reveal as little as possible — to each other, and to us.

Members only see initials

Names and email addresses are never sent to other members' devices. The chat only ever receives initials and a colour.

Moderators are accountable

Moderators see the names of their own community's members, so they can keep it safe. Every moderator action is logged.

Communities are sealed off

A moderator can never see members, groups or messages of another community — even when the same person belongs to both.

We don't read along

Our management tools show communities, members and groups, but never message content.

Discreet notifications

Notifications contain only the group name, inside an encrypted push message. No sender, no text.

Strong account protection

Passwords are stored as strong one-way hashes; sign-in attempts are rate-limited; reset links expire after five minutes.

Encrypted connections

All traffic is encrypted (HTTPS). Sessions are protected against cross-site attacks.

Hosted in Switzerland

Data is stored with a Swiss hosting provider in Swiss data centres.

No ads, no tracking

No advertising, no analytics trackers, no selling of data. The website and the app only use the cookies they need to work.

Give your community a calmer, more private place to talk.
