A privacy-first messaging platform designed to help users protect their personal information and meet the requirements of modern data-protection laws.

Whether you’re having personal conversations, coordinating a community group, or exchanging confidential business information, your communication tool plays a direct role in how your data is handled.

In today’s digital landscape, people expect messaging to be private, secure, transparent and respectful of user rights.

EXTRA SAFE meets these expectations as its services operate in line with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), one of the world’s strictest data-protection frameworks.

Mainstream chat applications often prioritize convenience and large-scale data processing. While this may benefit social features or advertising models, it can raise concerns under GDPR if personal data is collected unnecessarily, shared with third parties, or transferred across jurisdictions with weaker protections.

Typical issues include:

For individuals, this can compromise digital privacy.
For businesses, it can create serious compliance risks.

The GDPR gives all users, not just corporate customers, strong rights over their personal data. Any communication tool used within the EU must respect key principles such as lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, accuracy integrity and confidentiality accountability.

EXTRA SAFE and GDPR Compliance

EXTRA SAFE is GDPR compliant by design. Its architecture naturally fulfils key data-protection principles and other modern privacy frameworks. Because it collects no personal data or metadata and enables anonymous, end-to-end encrypted, peer-to-peer communication, the app naturally aligns with the core GDPR principles of data minimization, storage limitation, privacy by design, and purpose limitation.

No Personal Information Required

EXTRA SAFE can be used without providing any personally identifiable information. Our Ethereum-like account structure generates a unique cryptographic identifier for each user, eliminating the need to provide any identity data and ensuring complete anonymity without compromise.
Users do not need to submit phone numbers, email addresses, contacts, address-book access or any real-world identifiers.

After installation, the app automatically generates a unique cryptographic key pair. The user’s public key is their identifier within the system, and it is used to establish secure, end-to-end encrypted communication.

To make sharing easier, the app also provides a random, phone-like EXTRA SAFE number, which is simply a human-readable alias. This number is not linked to a person’s identity and is never tied to external databases, SIM cards, or device ownership records.

End-to-End Encryption & Peer-to-Peer Architecture

EXTRA SAFE uses asymmetric end-to-end encryption to secure all communications. Messages can only be decrypted on the sender's and recipient's devices.

Because communication is peer-to-peer and EXTRA SAFE neither analyzes, mines, nor centralizes user data, messages cannot be read by EXTRA SAFE or anyone outside the chat. Metadata isn’t stored, and all chats are deleted by default according to the user-selected timer, keeping storage temporary by default.

Data Minimization & Zero Metadata Retention

EXTRA SAFE’s privacy architecture is designed to avoid collecting, storing, or retaining user content or communication metadata. Communication occurs directly between peers whenever possible, and information such as communication logs, timestamps, IP addresses, or usage analytics is not stored or logged.

Suitable for Both Individuals and Organizations

Unlike traditional messengers that were originally developed for personal use, EXTRA SAFE was designed to offer maximum privacy for everyone. For individuals, it provides full anonymity, zero personal data exposure and private communication without surveillance.

For companies and organizations, EXTRA SAFE provides a messaging environment that supports GDPR-compliant workflows, minimizes the risk of employee data being processed by third-party providers, and enables secure communication for confidential internal information. It also facilitates compliance with the EU Whistleblower Directive (EU 2019/1937) and Germany’s Whistleblower Protection Act (Hinweisgeberschutzgesetz, HinSchG), which require organizations to provide secure and confidential reporting channels. These channels allow employees and other reporting persons to disclose violations of law, such as discrimination, harassment, or other unlawful practices, while ensuring protection against retaliation.

Legal Risks of Non-Compliance

Under GDPR, improper handling of personal data, even via third-party services, can expose organizations to severe financial penalties.

Regulators may impose fines of up to:

Recent enforcement shows that authorities take violations seriously. Fines in the hundreds of millions have been levied across Europe for insufficient data protection practices, insecure messaging systems, and improper handling of personal information.

By using a system like EXTRA SAFE, which avoids collecting personal data in the first place, organizations can dramatically reduce the risk of violating privacy regulations.

EXTRA SAFE provides a privacy-centric, GDPR-aligned way to stay connected without sacrificing convenience or control.
