## What is Shura Chat?

Shura Chat is designed for secure, internal communication within our organization, including partners and contractors, with access granted by invitation only. The app provides encrypted real-time voice and video calls, conference calls, instant messaging, group chats, and file sharing across any device, ensuring that your communications are both seamless and protected.

In line with organizational compliance and security policies, Shura Chat automatically deletes data from the app after 24 hours. However, users have the option to set custom message lifespans, allowing messages to disappear at any chosen time. This feature supports adherence to internal data retention and disposal policies, helping your organization maintain control over sensitive information. Behind its user-friendly interface, Shura Chat is powered by advanced military-grade security technology, ensuring that both internal and external communications remain secure and compliant with your organization's standards.
