Encryption:
Safeguarding Your Communication
In today’s digital landscape, ensuring the privacy and security of communication is crucial. ANCOP Social, powered by Element, takes encryption seriously, employing **end-to-end encryption** for all messages, calls, and files shared within the platform. This means that only the intended recipients can access the content of your communications—no one else, not even ANCOP or Element administrators, has access.
This level of security is fundamental for protecting sensitive discussions, ensuring that your interactions within the ANCOP community remain private and free from external intrusion.
Encryption isn’t just about keeping your messages safe; it’s about maintaining the integrity of the conversations that drive our mission. Whether you’re discussing advocacy strategies, organising community events, or simply connecting with fellow members, you can do so with confidence, knowing that your communications are shielded from prying eyes.
By leveraging state-of-the-art encryption, ANCOP Social helps foster a secure environment where ideas can flow freely, and collaborations can thrive without the risk of data breaches or unauthorised access.
This commitment to security underscores our dedication to providing a platform that not only connects but also protects our community, ensuring that our values of empowerment and inclusivity are upheld in every conversation.


Data Sovereignty:
Keeping Control in Your Hands
At ANCOP, we understand the importance of keeping your data within your control. With ANCOP Social, powered by Element, we prioritise Data Sovereignty—ensuring that your data remains within Australian borders and under Australian jurisdiction.
This approach means that your information is protected by Australian laws, free from external oversight or interference by foreign entities. By hosting our servers locally, we not only protect your data but also reinforce our commitment to privacy and security.
Data sovereignty is about more than just location; it’s about empowerment. It ensures that our community can communicate freely, knowing that their information is safe, secure, and governed by the laws that reflect our values. This aligns perfectly with ANCOP’s mission of providing a secure, inclusive, and independent platform for all its members.
With data sovereignty, ANCOP Social isn’t just a communication tool—it’s a space where your privacy is respected and protected at the highest level, reinforcing our dedication to serving our community with integrity.
Device Verification:
Securing Every Access Point
At ANCOP, safeguarding your communication doesn’t stop at encryption and data sovereignty. We also ensure that every device used to access ANCOP Social is thoroughly verified, providing an additional layer of security through Device Verification.
Device verification ensures that only trusted devices can access your account. This feature requires you to verify each new device, preventing unauthorised access and ensuring that only you and your trusted devices can view and interact with your messages and files.
This process adds a critical line of defence against potential breaches. Whether you’re accessing ANCOP.chat from your phone, tablet, or computer, device verification ensures that your communications are locked down and secure, even if your credentials are compromised.
Device verification is more than just a safety feature—it’s a commitment to your security. By controlling which devices can access your account, we ensure that your communications within the ANCOP community remain confidential and protected. This feature aligns with our overarching goal of providing a safe, secure, and reliable platform for all our members.


Secure Messaging:
Protecting Every Word
ANCOP Social, powered by Element, ensures that your conversations remain private and protected through Secure Messaging. Every message sent on the platform is encrypted end-to-end, meaning only the intended recipients can read it. This secure messaging feature is vital for maintaining confidentiality, especially when discussing sensitive topics or strategising within our community.
Beyond encryption, secure messaging also includes features like message verification and encrypted backups, ensuring that your conversations remain secure, even if your device is lost or compromised. This comprehensive approach to messaging security ensures that our communications are always protected, fostering trust and peace of mind within the ANCOP community.
