Before you install

Is this a production release?

No. This alpha is for controlled evaluation. It does not claim production security certification or regulatory approval.

Does activation join me to a Channel?

No. Activation authorizes an installation to use the service. Channel membership requires a separate invitation and passphrase authentication process.

What happens to my data?

Desktop retains correspondence locally. The Relay provides temporary custody of message packages. Alpha content is not end-to-end encrypted or cryptographically concealed from the Relay. Website registration belongs to a separate customer and activation system.
