Privacy

LightVC is a small tool for a group of friends, not a data business. There are no accounts and no analytics. This page explains, plainly, what the app and its server can and can't see.

Your voice is peer-to-peer

Audio travels directly between you and the people in your room over encrypted WebRTC (SRTP). The server's only job is signaling — it introduces peers to each other so they can connect. Once the call is up, your audio never passes through the server. It can't listen in, and it doesn't record.

What the server does hold

• Text chat & shared files are stored so people who join late can scroll back. Messages live in a private database; files live in object storage and are auto-deleted after 30 days.
• No accounts. You join with a name you type and a single shared invite secret. There's no email, no password, no profile.
• No tracking. No analytics scripts, no ad networks, no fingerprinting — on the app or this website.

Connectivity

When two peers can't reach each other directly (strict NATs), the call falls back to a TURN relayto keep audio flowing. The relay forwards encrypted packets; it isn't able to decrypt them. Relay credentials are short-lived and minted per session.

Updates

The app checks a public version manifest (cdn.lightvc.xyz/latest.json) to see if a newer build exists, and downloads it over HTTPS. Update downloads are verified by SHA-256 before they're applied.
