Data Breaches Are Everywhere

Major companies around the world face data breaches every year. Customer information, personal messages, and sensitive data get exposed, causing significant harm to millions of people.

Why Do Breaches Keep Happening?

Most services store data in a decrypted state on their servers. This means if hackers gain access to the server, they can read everything.

Even server administrators can see customer information. One successful hack exposes all data at once.

Group SMS Is Different

Individual Encryption Keys Per User

Traditional services use one master key to encrypt all user data. If that key leaks, everyone's data is compromised.

Group SMS works differently:
  • Every user has their own unique encryption key
  • Only you know your key
  • We never store your key on our servers
  • Our developers and server admins cannot see your key
  • Military-Grade AES-256-GCM Encryption

    Group SMS uses AES-256-GCM algorithm.

  • AES-256: The standard used by the U.S. government for classified documents
  • 256-bit key: More possible combinations than atoms in the universe
  • Impossible to crack with current supercomputers
  • Breaking this encryption would take billions of years with today's technology.

    Safe Even If We Get Hacked

    What happens if our servers get hacked?

    What hackers would get:
  • Meaningless encrypted data blobs
  • Messages that are impossible to read without your key
  • What hackers cannot get:
  • Actual message content
  • Contact names
  • Personal information
  • Why? Because the decryption key only exists on your device.

    Our $1,000,000 Guarantee

    We are absolutely confident in our security.

    Our Promise

    "If your message content is ever leaked due to a hack, we will pay $1,000,000 in compensation."

    This isn't marketing hype. It's a promise we can make because it's technically impossible to read your messages without your key.

    Why We Can Make This Promise

  • 1. Decryption is impossible without the key: There's no way to read messages without the user's encryption key.
  • 2. Keys are not on our server: Keys exist only on the user's device.
  • 3. Mathematically secure: AES-256 has proven mathematical security.
  • How We Compare

    Traditional SMS Services

  • Server can see message content
  • One master key for all encryption
  • Risk of total data exposure if hacked
  • Messaging Apps (like WhatsApp, Telegram)

  • Servers can access messages (for legal requests)
  • End-to-end encryption exists but keys are on servers
  • Group SMS

  • Server cannot see message content
  • Individual encryption keys per user
  • Keys never stored on server
  • Data safe even if server is hacked
  • Managing Your Encryption Key

    Finding Your Key in the App

  • 1. Open the app
  • 2. Go to Settings > Encryption Key
  • 3. Back up this key in a safe place
  • If You Lose Your Key

    Important: If you lose your key, saved messages cannot be recovered.
  • We don't know your key, so recovery is impossible
  • You'll need to start fresh with a new key
  • Always keep your key backed up securely
  • Key Storage Tips

  • Write it down and store in a safe place
  • Save in a password manager app
  • Store encrypted in a trusted cloud service
  • Conclusion

    While major corporations fall victim to hacks, Group SMS has a fundamentally different design.

    Individual encryption keys per user and never storing keys on servers means your messages stay safe even if our servers are compromised.

    In an age where data privacy matters, manage your SMS securely with Group SMS.

    If your messages leak due to a hack, we pay $1,000,000. That's how confident we are.
