End-to-End Encryption

No third party can read along – not even us.

Connecta is the only software for social counselling with complete end-to-end encryption of all counselling dialogues:

  • Encryption already on the client's device

  • Decryption only on the conversation partner's device

  • Even for Connecta / Virtual Identity, decryption is technically impossible

  • Significantly above the industry standard for browser-based communication

  • Applies to chat, file exchange and all synchronous channels

Ende-zu-Ende Verschlüsselung
Zero Data Leakage

All data stays in your closed system.

Unlike many other platforms, Connecta consistently follows the "zero data leakage" concept:

  • No data transmission to third-party providers

  • No tracking or analytics tools in the counselling area

  • Complete control over all stored data

  • Data centre in Germany (German legal basis)

  • All subcontractors GDPR-compliant

Data protection is not a mandatory exercise – it is our principle.

For us, data protection is not a checklist, but one of our most important principles. Our endeavour to uphold and protect this principle encompasses every aspect of our software – from its conception to software development. This conviction is also the reason why we develop our software as open source: transparency and verifiability are the best guarantees for trust.

Security at Connecta is not an afterthought. It is the foundation on which everything is built.
