Because of this, we don’t know – and can’t reveal to others – anything about you or how you use the Wickr Me App aside from the limited information such as the date your account was created, the date of last use and the type of device on which such account was installed”. Your information is always disguised with multiple rounds of salted, cryptographic hashing before it is transmitted to our servers. In its privacy policy, Wickr Me explains: “ We can’t see the information you send through the Wickr Me App. Wickr recently announced a new feature that allows users to detect when screenshots are taken.
