Privacy Policy Privacy Notice

How Degen Handles Your Information.

Thank you for using Degen — a messaging client designed for modern communication across distributed platforms. This Privacy Notice explains how information is handled when you interact with our services.

1. Our Privacy Philosophy

Degen is built with a privacy-first mindset. We do not directly collect, store, or maintain personal user data. Most core functionality relies on the infrastructure and services of third-party platforms that power the underlying messaging experience.

2. Types of Information That May Be Involved

While using Degen, certain types of data may be processed through connected services or platforms:

  • Technical Performance Data Basic application metrics (such as app launches, app version, and performance indicators) may be processed via analytics tools like Firebase to help ensure stability and reliability.

  • Crash & Error Reports If the app crashes, diagnostic data such as device model, operating system version, and error logs may be automatically generated to help us identify and fix technical issues.

  • Location Context When enabled by your underlying messaging platform, location-based features may make use of regional or approximate location data.

  • Account Credentials Login credentials (including phone numbers or email addresses) are managed entirely by the base messaging platform (for example, Telegram). Degen does not access, store, or manage these credentials.

  • Contact Information If your messaging platform syncs contacts, any related processing remains anonymous and is used solely for interface functionality. Degen does not store, analyze, or review your contact data.

  • Message Content All messages, files, and media are stored and managed on your messaging platform’s servers. Degen functions only as an enhanced interface for viewing and interacting with this content.

  • Clipboard Usage Clipboard actions occur entirely on your local device. No copied text or data is transmitted to or logged by Degen.

3. Third-Party Service Integration

To support features such as translations, notifications, analytics, and crash diagnostics, Degen integrates with trusted third-party services, including:

  • Firebase services

  • Google Play services

  • Telegram platform infrastructure

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these third-party providers for more detailed information about their data handling practices.

4. How Technical Information Is Used

Limited technical data obtained through these integrations is used solely to:

  • Maintain application stability and performance

  • Detect, analyze, and resolve technical errors

  • Improve overall user experience through aggregated usage insights

Degen does not build user profiles, track individual behavior, or use data for advertising or marketing purposes.

5. Cookies and Local Storage

Degen does not use browser cookies directly. However, third-party services integrated into the app may utilize local storage or similar technologies to improve performance. You can manage these settings through your device or browser preferences.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction and the policies of your primary messaging platform, you may have the right to:

  • Access information associated with your account

  • Request corrections or limitations on data processing

  • Request deletion of outdated or unnecessary data

  • Opt out of certain automated processing activities

As Degen does not maintain independent user databases, such requests should be submitted to your primary messaging platform provider (for example, Telegram).

7. Children’s Privacy

Degen is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13. If we become aware that a child has used the service, we will take appropriate action in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Certain features may direct you to external websites or services. These third parties operate under their own privacy policies, which are independent of Degen and outside our control.

9. Updates to This Policy

This Privacy Notice may be updated periodically to reflect changes in technology, services, or legal requirements. The revision date will be updated accordingly. Continued use of Degen constitutes acceptance of the current version of this policy.
