Developer: Hoccer GmbH
First release : 19 Nov 2009
App size: 14.4 Mb
Hoccer is a communication service that focuses on the protection of your privacy. It transmits messages and attachments with a maximum level of security (end-to-end transport & encryption). Our app is available as a free download and allows transfer of attachments of any size. Hoccer is a secure alternative to traditional text messaging services, which use your 3G/LTE or Wi-Fi. Send messages, photos, videos, contacts, audio files, locations, and much more free and, most notably, safe.
END-TO-END AND TRANSPORT ENCRYPTION
All messages and attachments are transport encrypted (up to 4096 Bit public key) and are safely delivered from sender to recipient thanks to Hoccers end-to-end encryption. Even we at Hoccer cannot read your messages as we have no insights of the content of the transmitted data. Hoccer is made in Germany and subject to the high standards of German Data Protection laws.
ANONYMOUS & PRIVATE
For registration, Hoccer requires no sensitive or private information such as phone number or email address. Your identity remains invariably anonymous, because for Hoccer, any user is just a randomly generated number (Client ID). Furthermore, your contacts are protected, no synchronization of your address book or details of private data (data minimization) are needed.
