Security and privacy
Built to be trusted with real work.
Schools, companies and NGOs put important things into Econect. Here is exactly how we look after them, in plain words.
Our data promise
Six things we will always do.
- 1Your work is yoursWhat you and your organisation create belongs to you, not to us.
- 2No ads, no sellingWe never sell personal data and we don’t show you ads.
- 3Private chats stay privateAdmins run their workspace, but they can never read your private chats.
- 4Ama reads only on requestAma looks at something only when you ask, and only what you can already see.
- 5Leave whenever you likeDelete your account yourself, and we remove your data.
- 6Plain wordsWe tell you clearly what we keep, why, and for how long.
Protection
How your data is protected.
Encrypted in transit
Every connection between your device and Econect is encrypted. Passwords are never stored, only a one-way hash of them.
Access rules on every table
Every table in our database has access rules, so each person reaches only what their role allows. The rules are tested for every role before each release.
Secrets stay on the server
Keys for payments, AI, email and calls live only on our servers, never inside the app.
Private files, expiring links
Private files are stored privately and opened through links that expire after a short time.
Payments by Flutterwave
Mobile money and cards are handled by Flutterwave. We never see your PIN, and card details are never stored or logged by Econect.
Protection against abuse
Rate limits and bot checks slow down anyone trying to guess passwords or test stolen cards.
Control
Admins stay in charge. People keep their privacy.
Roles that fit real organisations
Owner, Admin, Leader, Member and Guest, with room-by-room permissions for who can post, add people and start meetings.
You control who joins
Invite by Eco-Address, or share a join link or QR code that you can switch off at any time. Remove anyone in a tap.
An audit log for admins
Sensitive admin actions are recorded for 30 days on Organisation Plus and above, so there is always a record.
App lock and device control
Lock the app, a chat or a workspace behind your fingerprint, face or PIN, and sign out your other devices from anywhere.
Report and block
Report a message, person or workspace from its menu. Blocking is quiet: the other person isn’t told.
Quiet hours
Organisation quiet hours keep everyone’s phones calm outside work time, owners and admins included.
Found a security problem?
Please tell us privately at econectapp@gmail.com with the subject “Security report”. We read every report and reply quickly. Please don’t test against other people’s accounts or data.
Calm, private and yours.
