FAQ
Answers to the most common questions about ROME, privacy, and platform availability.
What is ROME?
ROME is a privacy-focused communication platform designed for secure messaging, calls, and modern digital interaction.
How secure is ROME?
ROME uses end-to-end encryption with zero-knowledge architecture to keep conversations private and inaccessible to the platform itself.
Can ROME read my messages?
No. ROME is being designed so message content stays unreadable to the platform through end-to-end encryption and zero-knowledge principles.
Who controls the encryption keys?
ROME is designed around user-controlled access, so decryption is intended to remain tied to the user rather than exposed to the platform.
Are calls encrypted too?
Yes. Private voice and video communication are part of the product direction, with the same security-first approach applied across communication features.
What makes ROME different from other messaging apps?
ROME combines privacy-first architecture with a premium communication experience, aiming to deliver strong security without compromising usability.
What does zero-knowledge architecture mean?
It means the platform is designed so that sensitive user content is not readable by the service itself, reducing exposure at the infrastructure level.
What does end-to-end encryption mean?
It means messages are encrypted on the sender side and are meant to be decrypted only by the intended recipient, not by intermediaries.
Which platforms will ROME support?
ROME is being built for iOS and Android, with a consistent experience across supported devices.
Can governments or agencies read my messages?
ROME is designed so that no one except you and your intended recipient can read your messages, including us. The platform is built without backdoor access to message content.
