Your data stays secure — always.

Question 4

Are my communications secure and private?

Accepted Answer

Yes — your communication is 100% private and secure. Only the people you choose — whether individual contacts or group members — can hear your conversations. No one else can listen in or interfere.We use end-to-end encryption (E2EE) and AES-256, one of the most advanced encryption standards available, to ensure that every transmission is accessible only to the intended parties. Even if intercepted, your data remains completely unreadable to outsiders.To further protect your privacy, Poclink applies multiple layers of security:TLS Protocol — Secures all voice data during transmissionRSA Key Exchange — Dynamically creates a unique encrypted channel for each sessionAES-256 Encryption — Provides industry-grade protection for the voice content itselfAll of this is built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), a world-class cloud infrastructure platform that provides the backbone of our secure, stable, and scalable system — trusted by enterprises worldwide for its reliability and compliance.And most importantly, you stay in control. All settings — including device name, group creation, and group member management — can be handled directly through the Poclink App, with no need to contact customer support.By contrast, many other brands require users to email support just to change a username or group name — a slow process that may involve extra fees and increase the risk of data exposure.At Poclink, privacy comes first, and control stays with you — ensuring every conversation is safe, secure, and fully in your hands.
