## What is JAT Secure Messenger?

JAT brings you a private network within which you are empowered with encrypted real-time voice and video calls, conference calls, instant messages, group chats and file exchanges on any device type within your close private and business circles that you define by invitation. 
The data is automatically removed from the app in 24 hours by default; in addition, you can define the lifetime of your messages and make them disappear any time.  While our users experience an intuitive consumer-style app, behind the scenes our engine is built on robust military-grade security and privacy technology.
