Privacy direction

Messages are intimate. Privacy has to be part of the product shape.

Principles

  • Use the least message content needed.
  • Make context user-controlled.
  • Do not silently scrape message history.
  • Keep drafting separate from sending.
  • Prefer local-first or privacy-aware processing where possible.
  • Treat relationship context as sensitive.

Current status

Dopame is being refocused. This page describes intended principles, not a launched production data policy.
