Ethical Profile

Mixed.

DatChat, Inc. emphasizes user privacy and data control, building its Messenger with features like disappearing messages, screenshot prevention, and encrypted storage, which align strongly with Safe & Smart Tech values. However, a comprehensive ethical profile is challenging to ascertain due to insufficient public information across many key areas. For instance, reports indicate a low SDG Transparency Score for planet-friendly business practices. Concerns have also been raised regarding a lack of transparency around data handling, whistleblower policies, and anti-corruption measures, with no third-party verification of security claims, impacting perceptions of Honest & Fair Business.
