- Censored Status Viewer Privacy: Status viewer lists mask full names and usernames with censored initials to protect viewer privacy.
2. Crucial Reminder: Do Not Send Sensitive Personal Data
While SiniChat provides end-to-end platform security and encrypted storage, please never send your sensitive personal data (passwords, OTP codes, banking details, national ID numbers, or confidential personal records) inside chat conversations or status posts. Keep your sensitive personal information offline and private at all times.
