Legal Framework.
Last Updated: January 29, 2026
At VapeMond, we prioritize your digital sovereignty and fundamental right to privacy. This comprehensive document outlines our unwavering commitment to data protection, the transparent terms governing our platform, and the military-grade security standards engineered by TeraBit Systems. We believe privacy is not a feature—it's a human right.
Privacy Policy
How we protect your data and respect your privacy
Privacy-First Philosophy
VapeMond operates on a "Privacy by Design" and "Privacy by Default" principle. Developed by TeraBit, our infrastructure is architecturally engineered to ensure that zero personal metadata is stored on central servers. Unlike traditional messaging platforms that collect extensive user data for advertising and analytics, VapeMond fundamentally cannot access your private communications—it's mathematically impossible by design.
Our zero-knowledge architecture means that even if compelled by legal authority, we have no data to provide. Your messages, calls, media, and metadata are encrypted end-to-end with keys that only you control. This isn't a marketing claim—it's the fundamental architecture of our system, verified by independent security audits.
What We DON'T Collect
We cannot and do not read your messages. All content is end-to-end encrypted.
Your contacts are stored locally on your device, not on our servers.
We don't track your physical location or IP address patterns.
No tracking of your usage patterns, habits, or preferences.
We don't build profiles for advertising or sell data to third parties.
We don't map who you communicate with or analyze your social network.
Minimal Data We Collect (For Technical Operation)
1. Anonymous Account Identifiers
A cryptographically generated unique ID that allows the network to route messages to you. This ID is not linked to your real identity, phone number, or email address.
2. Encrypted Backup (Optional)
If you enable cloud sync, we store an encrypted backup of your data. We cannot decrypt this backup—only you hold the encryption keys. Even under legal compulsion, this data is mathematically useless without your private key.
3. Technical Logs (Minimal, Temporary)
For debugging and preventing abuse, we temporarily log basic technical data (like connection timestamps and bandwidth usage) for 72 hours before automatic deletion. These logs contain no content or metadata about your communications.
4. Payment Information (Premium Users Only)
If you subscribe to VapeMond Premium, payment processing is handled by third-party payment processors (Stripe, PayPal) who are bound by their own privacy policies. We receive only the minimum necessary transaction confirmation—never full credit card details.
Encryption & Data Protection
- End-to-End Encryption (E2EE): All messages, voice calls, video chats, and file transfers use the TeraBit Quantum-Resistant Protocol, implementing Signal Protocol enhanced with post-quantum lattice-based cryptography.
- Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS): Each message is encrypted with a unique ephemeral key that is immediately deleted. Even if your device is compromised, past messages remain secure.
- Zero-Knowledge Architecture: Your encryption keys are generated and stored only on your devices. VapeMond servers never have access to your private keys.
- Ephemeral Storage: Messages are deleted from our transit nodes immediately after successful delivery. We operate a "no data retention" policy for content.
- Metadata Protection: Unlike most platforms, we protect metadata (who talks to whom, when, and how often) through our decentralized routing protocol and traffic obfuscation techniques.
Third-Party Services & Integrations
VapeMond minimizes reliance on third-party services. When necessary, we carefully vet partners to ensure they meet our privacy standards:
- Payment Processors: Stripe and PayPal handle payments (for Premium subscriptions). They operate under their own privacy policies and PCI-DSS compliance.
- CDN Services: For app downloads and public content, we use privacy-respecting CDN providers that don't track users.
- Email Services: For account recovery (optional), we use encrypted email providers. Email addresses are hashed and not linked to your VapeMond ID.
Important: We never share your data with third parties for marketing, advertising, or analytics purposes. Any data sharing is strictly limited to technical necessity and user-requested features.
Data Collection Transparency
Complete transparency on what data we handle
Data Transparency Report 2026
VapeMond publishes an annual transparency report detailing any government data requests, legal demands, and our responses. In 2025, we received zero valid requests because our zero-knowledge architecture makes compliance technically impossible. We cannot provide what we don't have.
Terms of Service
Rules and guidelines for using VapeMond
Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using VapeMond ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. TeraBit Systems ("we," "us," or "our") reserves the right to update these terms at any time, with notice provided through the app. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of modified terms.

Account Security
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your private keys and login credentials. VapeMond uses zero-knowledge encryption, which means if you lose your keys, we cannot recover your data. We strongly recommend:
- Enabling cloud backup with a strong passphrase
- Using device-level security (biometrics, strong passwords)
- Never sharing your recovery keys with anyone
Community Guidelines
The VapeMond Community Feed is a space for authentic expression and creative sharing. We encourage diverse perspectives while maintaining safety. Content moderation is handled through a hybrid system of on-device AI filtering and decentralized community voting to prevent abuse without centralized censorship.
Service Availability & Limitations
- Uptime Guarantee: We strive for 99.99% uptime but cannot guarantee uninterrupted service due to maintenance, attacks, or force majeure events.
- Rate Limits: To prevent abuse, we enforce rate limits on message sending, API calls, and certain features.
- Storage Limits: Free accounts receive 5GB of encrypted cloud storage. Premium users receive 100GB.
- Beta Features: Some features may be in beta and subject to bugs or changes. Use at your own risk.
Intellectual Property
VapeMond's name, logo, and proprietary encryption protocols are trademarks of TeraBit Systems. Our core encryption libraries are open source under MIT license, while the application code remains proprietary. Users retain full ownership of their content—we claim no rights to your messages, media, or posts.
Termination & Account Deletion
You may delete your account at any time through the app settings. Upon deletion, all your data is immediately removed from our systems. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or engage in illegal activities. Due to our decentralized architecture, some cached data may persist on peer nodes for up to 30 days before complete removal.
Disclaimer of Warranties
VapeMond is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. While we implement best-in-class security, no system is 100% secure. We are not liable for unauthorized access, data loss, or service interruptions beyond our reasonable control. Users should maintain local backups of important data.
