Your messages live on your devices. Not ours.
There is no message archive at Jump.AFRICA to hack, leak, sell or hand over. Your history exists only on the computers you've linked — encrypted — and you can wipe it whenever you like.

Online: it's sealed on your computer, passed through our relay in a fraction of a second and opened on theirs. Nothing is saved on the way.
They're offline: the sealed message waits in our relay's memory — never on disk — until their device connects, for at most 24 hours. Then it's delivered or dropped. If you'd rather nothing waits at all, switch a chat to live-only delivery.
On your computer: history is stored encrypted. Add a passcode and nobody using your computer can read it without it.
The full ledger
We publish this because “zero knowledge” claims are usually marketing. We hold account information like any regulated platform, and we respond to valid legal requests for what we hold — which does not include your messages.
Screenshot & screen-share shield
On Windows and Mac the app's window is blank in screenshots, recordings and screen shares.
Passcode & auto-lock
Lock the app with a passcode; it locks itself when you're idle or your computer sleeps.
Panic erase
One click destroys every message and key on that device and unlinks it from your account.
Photos without location
Images are re-encoded before sending, stripping GPS location and camera details.
Content-free email alerts
If messages are waiting we can email you — without saying who wrote or what they said. Or switch it off.
Nothing to leak if nothing is kept.
