The Whist privacy guarantee is that we've engineered our system so that no one, not even us, can see what's going on in your cloud tabs. We'll be releasing a blog post about how our system is engineered, stay tuned!

Privacy is also one of the reasons we've decided on the hybrid approach. Websites with sensitive information (your bank, etc.) can be used on local, incognito, or Tor tabs, all of which are not offloaded to Whist's servers and run 100% locally.

That's awesome, it seems like you've thought through privacy! It'd be above and beyond, but is it possible to self-host my own cloud backend?

[pnoel]

Potentially! We could make this happen, it probably wouldn't even be that much work. It's more of a question of whether enough people/companies would be interested in self-hosting, which is something we'll keep an eye out for

I would definitely self host. Already self host a VPN.

Noted, we'll keep this in mind as we go forward then

Will you implement a warrant canary?

[pnoel]

We'll look into it, our team cares heavily about privacy and if we judge that this is a valuable way to protect our users we will definitely implement it
