About UTurn

Built for Privacy. Powered by Principles.

UTurn is a messaging app designed from the ground up to protect your privacy. In a world where most “free” communication tools are powered by advertising and data collection, UTurn takes a different path: one that puts you, not your data, at the center.

We don’t sell your data. We don’t run ads. We don’t track you.
We believe secure, private communication is a fundamental right—not a feature to be monetized.

Security at the Core

From day one, UTurn has been built with a strong focus on security.
One-on-one chats and calls are always end-to-end encrypted, meaning only you and your contact can read or hear what’s shared — not even we can access that content.

Group chats use standard encryption, which helps prevent misuse of the platform while still ensuring your conversations are protected. Even then, group messages are never stored on our servers after delivery.

What makes UTurn unique is that we run our own infrastructure — we don’t rely on cloud providers or external platforms. This means more control, less risk, and a better guarantee that no third party has access to your data.

No Ads. No Trackers. No Compromises.

Most apps claim to respect your privacy, but still collect data for analytics or personalized advertising. UTurn doesn’t.

We don’t profile you. We don’t track your behavior.
There are no ads, no data brokers, and no “trusted partners” behind the curtain.
Just a private, respectful space for you to communicate.

Why We Exist

UTurn was created by a small, independent team of engineers, designers, and privacy advocates who believe that digital communication can be powerful without being invasive.

We’ve made deliberate choices to avoid surveillance business models, use self-hosted infrastructure, and limit the kind of data our app even has access to. Every feature is designed with care to avoid creating unnecessary risks for our users.

We aren’t here to grow at all costs. We’re here to build something worth trusting.

Let’s Stay Human

Technology is only useful when it respects the people using it.
At UTurn, we believe in building tools that empower people — not manipulate them.

If you have questions about how UTurn works, suggestions for improvement, or just want to say hello, we’d love to hear from you.
