Encryption: "All your messages and files are fully encrypted for your complete peace of mind." - when and where is the content encrypted? What kind of encryption are you using? Don't tell me the one that brings you peace of mind... Privacy (1): " [...] we implement responsible and sophisticated technical and physical controls that are designed to prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of your content." - Which ones? How about legal interception? How do you comply with the law? Which country's law? Privacy (2): "What is a Private Topic? A Private Topic is a topic that requires the Topic Admin approval before you can have access to a topic or you can be added to a private topic by a member already added to that topic." - how private is a Private Topic? Who has access to its content and how can you assure the user about its privacy? 3rd Parties and law geographical boundaries: "Where are Rivers.IM servers located? To deliver the best performance and security we use regulatory compliant, secure data centers from across the globe." - you mean Amazon? What's the governance? Which country law is used in your contracts? Business usage: "Can Rivers be used by my company? Offcourse Rivers is very well suited to be used inside your organization. Rivers is totally secure and its fully synced Web Client in addition to Android and iPhone allows you to use it easily from your laptop. It's totally secure." - What kind of controls does a company admin have, how do you separate between private and business, how do you comply with DLP and other business specific standards? Where is the data hosted and who has access to it? Boss, your answers are far less than satisfactory for 2019, they're arguably good for 1996 though. Please, hurry up with proper ones and keep us updated! I'm spending my time writing here because I believe you product is better than described or supported, I want to see it succeeding. It's a good start, I've just given it a spin and it works very nicely.

@utestme @evgeniy_chernyshov Yes, as of today we do not use any KMS (key management service) , Both the data and key lies with us with strict access control and zero manual interaction.
