Security & privacy
Private by default, not by update
When the big messengers changed their privacy rules, millions of users went looking for an alternative. Mijyu is private from the very first message - no settings to find, no boxes to tick. [CLIENT-COPY: adjust competitive claims as needed]
The privacy wedge
What we don't do matters as much as what we do
Messaging apps in Nepal have long been a choice between convenience and privacy. Mijyu refuses the trade-off.
End-to-end encryption, on
Messages, calls, voice notes and files are encrypted on your device and decrypted only on the recipient's. On by default, for everything.
No ads, no tracking
We don't sell ads, we don't sell your data, and we don't profile you to third parties. Your conversations are nobody's product.
Minimal metadata
We collect only what it takes to run the service - and we keep it to the minimum needed to deliver your messages.
Local-first values
Privacy isn't a Western luxury. Nepali families, businesses and journalists deserve the same protection as anyone else.
Verified builds [CLIENT-COPY: confirm audit status]
Our app builds are reproducible and open for independent security review, so what you install is what we published.
Secure updates
Security patches ship automatically and quietly - you're always on the latest protection without lifting a finger.
How it works
What end-to-end encryption actually means
No jargon - here's what happens to every message and call you send.
- 1
Locked on your device
Your message is encrypted before it leaves your phone, using a key that only your device holds.
- 2
Relayed, never read
Mijyu's servers carry the encrypted data but can't read it. We have no plaintext to hand over - not even if asked. [CLIENT-COPY: confirm jurisdiction stance]
- 3
Unlocked only for them
The recipient's device holds the matching key, so only they can decrypt and read or hear what you sent.

Security questions
Your privacy, answered
Can Mijyu read my messages?
No. Messages are end-to-end encrypted, so even Mijyu's servers only carry ciphertext. There is no plaintext to read.
Why does privacy matter for Nepal specifically?
From family chats to business negotiations to journalists' sources, Nepali conversations deserve the same protection as anyone's. The WhatsApp privacy backlash showed millions of users worldwide want that choice - Mijyu brings it home. [CLIENT-COPY: adjust claims]
What happens if I lose my phone?
Your chats are protected. Restore from your encrypted backup using your recovery key, or start fresh - your number stays yours.
Can authorities request my data?
We comply with the law, but because messages are end-to-end encrypted, there is no message content to provide. We publish our policy in plain language on this site. [CLIENT-COPY: confirm legal stance with counsel]
Is Mijyu open source?
Our security-critical components are open for independent review. We're working toward full transparency for the app builds. [CLIENT-COPY: confirm open-source status]
Privacy is the default. Always.
