- Secret keys are stored in the system keychain. Public keys are shared when required for messaging, verification, groups, or Nostr events.
- Keys remain until they are rotated, removed by the relevant feature, erased with panic wipe, or removed with the app.
- Secret keys are stored in the system keychain as device-only items. Public keys are shared when required for messaging, verification, groups, or Nostr events.

## Your Controls
- **Panic wipe:** Triple-tap the logo to clear local keys, sessions, preferences, groups, queues, carried mail, public archives, board data, and media managed by the app.
- **Panic wipe:** Triple-tap the logo to synchronously cancel in-flight media work and clear local keys, sessions, preferences, groups, queues, carried mail, public archives, board data, and media managed by the app.
- **Feature controls:** Location channels, mesh bridge, internet gateway, and related internet behaviors can be disabled in the app. Some already-published relay data cannot be recalled.
- **System permissions:** Bluetooth, location, microphone, camera, and photo-library access can be revoked in system settings.
- **No account:** The project operates no account record for you to request or export.
