## Summary
- **No personal data collection** - We don't collect names, emails, or phone numbers
- **No servers** - Everything happens on your device and through peer-to-peer connections
- **Hybrid Functionality** - bitchat offers two modes of communication:
- **Bluetooth Mesh Chat**: This mode is completely offline, using peer-to-peer Bluetooth connections. It does not use any servers or internet connection.
- **Geohash Chat**: This mode uses an internet connection to communicate with others in a specific geographic area. It relies on Nostr relays for message transport.
- **No tracking** - We have no analytics, telemetry, or user tracking

A secure, decentralized, peer-to-peer messaging app that works over Bluetooth mesh networks. No internet required for mesh chats, no servers, no phone numbers - just pure encrypted communication. Bitchat also supports geohash channels, which use an internet connection to connect you with others in your geographic area.
This is the **Android port** of the original [bitchat iOS app](https://github.com/jackjackbits/bitchat), maintaining 100% protocol compatibility for cross-platform communication.
