# About us

> Plauder.Party is a private community project (not a company) building an open, EU-hosted Matrix chat platform with Cinny and LiveKit.

Goals: transparency via open-source components, privacy with E2EE where possible and EU hosting, community-first with no ads and no data selling. Progress is documented on the blog.


Plauder.Party is a **private community project** - not a company. We run a chat platform because we believe community communication should not depend on proprietary platforms.

## Our goals

- **Transparency:** Open-source components, understandable operations
- **Privacy:** End-to-end encryption where possible, EU hosting
- **Community first:** No ads, no data selling

We are still early. The blog keeps you updated on progress.
