Description
Whereby stands out for its commitment to privacy, transparency, and user control. Developed in Norway, Whereby is fully GDPR-compliant, ensuring that user data is securely stored in the EU and protected by robust security measures. The platform provides end-to-end encryption only for small meetings (two participants) using peer-to-peer connections, while larger meetings use encrypted server infrastructure.
The platform is designed for both individual users and businesses. Whereby continues to innovate with a focus on accessibility, security, and user experience. Whereby does not sell or mine user data, and users can access, export, or delete their data at any time. However, users should note that IP addresses and other metadata may be collected. Whereby’s transparency and commitment to privacy make it a strong choice for those seeking a sustainable and ethical alternative to Big Tech video conferencing tools.
