"It is important to me that we - our members - move closer together. My goal is for us to communicate with each other more quickly, receive information and be networked. We want much more than a party app! We are the first regional association to offer our members new opportunities with our own secure and data protection-compliant messenger. We have found an excellent partner for this in stashcat®!", Kai Seefried MdL, Secretary General of the CDU in Lower Saxony.

The technical basis is stashcat®. The GDPR and data protection-compliant messenger is also used nationally and internationally within companies and authorities with security tasks, e.g. by the state police forces of Lower Saxony and Hesse.
