1. Zero-Retention Peer-to-Peer Protocol
Rays operates exclusively as an ephemeral, decentralized peer-to-peer communication application powered by WebRTC direct data channels. Audio, video, and text transmissions flow directly between connected peer hardware endpoints. No centralized media servers record, transcribe, or store your live conversations.
2. Absolute Zero Data Ownership
Rays Foundation, its developers, and infrastructure operators do not own, control, harvest, monetize, or inspect user communications, transferred attachments, or personal files. All cryptographic keys and message buffers reside purely in volatile memory or local device storage under your sole control.
3. Sovereign Endpoint Responsibility & Limitation of Liability
Because Rays Foundation maintains zero data ownership, zero message retention, and zero central access to private transmissions, Rays Foundation and its contributors hold no liability for any data leaks, unauthorized access, loss of confidentiality, local hardware compromises, device theft, network interception, or user-initiated misdirection. You are solely and sovereignly responsible for your device security, recipient verification, and any content transmitted over the network.
4. Immutable Hardware Identity Binding
By claiming a username, you register a permanent cryptographic association between your chosen handle and this physical hardware signature in the decentralized directory. One hardware signature holds one primary handle to protect the network from sybil attacks.
