Data in transit
The contents of your requests are protected on the path from your device to the Contact network. On a shared network, it is harder for others to see that data.
Limits of protection
What Contact protects — and what it does not promise
The service protects data on the path to its network. That helps on a shared network, but it does not replace caution and does not make the internet safe by itself.
What it protects
Use on someone else’s Wi‑Fi
A café, hotel, or airport is convenient, but someone else set up the access point. Contact reduces how much you depend on that network.
Network changes without new setup
If you switch from Wi‑Fi to mobile internet, the connection restores on its own. You do not need to add the link again.
What it does not do
Not an antivirus
Contact does not scan files and does not block malware. Install device protection separately if you need it.
Not a website check
The service does not tell you whether to trust a shop or an email. Passwords and sign-in confirmations remain your responsibility.
Not full invisibility
Websites still see that you visited them. Contact protects the data path; it does not hide the fact that you use the internet.
How to use it on a public network
- Turn Contact on before you open email or banking.
- Do not enter passwords on pages that look suspicious.
- If you doubt the Wi‑Fi, use the mobile network.
How data travels through Contact — on the “How it works”.
Data between your device and the Contact network is transferred in protected form. On someone else’s or a shared network, it is harder for others to see the contents of that data.
Contact is not an antivirus, does not check whether websites are safe, and does not promise full invisibility on the internet. It protects the path from your device to its network.
Yes. In a café, hotel, or airport, Contact protects data on the path from your device to its network, even if someone else controls the access point.
These are apps that accept the link from the Contact account. On Android the primary app is Contact. On iPhone, Windows and Mac, use the Contact client or Incy for now. They are not separate services: the access is the same.
