[^1]: The Matrix server is still experimental and I don't reccommend creating an account on there, but of course if you want to chat with me from your account that's on another server, it's perfectly fine.

All of this data **can be seen by anyone**, except for login credentials and private repos which **can only be seen by the account/repo owner, the server and who can access the backend**, that means me, except for the password which **can't be seen at all**.
# The Matrix server
The Matrix server is powered by a backend called Conduit, a lightweight implementation for the Matrix protocol.
## Terms for using the Matrix server
Here's what you can and can't do:
- ~~you can sign up for an account[^1] as long as you're not impersonating someone~~ **registration has been temporairly disabled because of the mass creation of spam bots harming other servers**;
- you can chat with anybody, privately or in group, with or without encryption, as long as you're not mass spamming or sending harmful content to users or groups;
- you can set any username, full name, email (optional), profile picture and phone number you want;
- you can report any user that you think is going against the terms.
Also there are some things that I am exclusively allowed to do at any time:
- deactivate any account;
- ban any client by IP;
- ban any external server;
- delete or edit details of any group chat;
- shadow ban any group chat from the public directory.
## Privacy when using the Matrix server
The data the server gets when using the Matrix server is:
- login credentials (username, email and password);
- extra profile details (profile picture, full name, phone number and identity server);
- any message, edit, reaction, deletion or other interaction in any chat;
- any chat you join, even if hosted on another server.
Chats with E2E encryption **can only be seen by the recipients**, chats without it and account details **can be also seen by the server and who can access the backend**, that means me, except for the password which **can't be seen at all**.
# The Mumble server
The Mumble server is powered by a backend called Murmur, the official server software for Mumble.
