Pooof is a professional-grade secure communication tool designed for high-priority privacy. Zero-Persistence Infrastructure: We utilize an ephemeral relay system. Messages are delivered directly to the recipient and never stored on a persistent database. Invite-Only Security: Pooof is NOT a public social network. Conversations can only be initiated via unique, one-time QR codes between invited parties. There is no discovery mechanism or random matching. End-to-End Encryption: Our AES-256 and RSA protocols ensure that only the sender and recipient have the keys to view content. Safety & Moderation: We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for objectionable content. Integrated client-side filters and reporting tools ensure a safe environment for all users.
