Overview

Limited assessment

No findings recorded · assessment unavailable

SimpleX Chat (chat.simplex.app) was scanned at version 7.0.2 on 2026-09-29 but is not graded, because the analysis did not complete enough of its checks for a score to mean anything. The checks that completed recorded no findings. That is not evidence that the app has none: it reflects what these checks look for in one build, and cannot rule out what they do not cover. This is static analysis of a single build: it does not observe the app running and does not establish that any data is exposed.

Data collection & flow (privacy signal, not part of the grade)

Where it can go
Third parties present
No analytics/advertising SDKs detected.
  • Personal-data permissions/identifiers appear on-device, but no third-party analytics/advertising SDKs were detected that would receive them.

This maps what the app can access (permissions it requests, identifier APIs its code references) to the third parties bundled in it. It reflects capability and SDK presence — not proof that a specific value was transmitted.

Data Safety comparison is not conclusive because analysis coverage is incomplete or unknown.
