What each of them receives, word for word, is in the privacy policy’s who else handles your data
Run on Kemble’s own server
These sound like outside services and are not: Kemble runs them itself, so nothing they handle leaves Kemble.
| What | How |
|---|---|
| Voice and video | LiveKit, the media server that carries calls, rooms and stages |
| Connection relay | coturn, which relays call traffic for people whose network blocks a direct route, beside Cloudflare’s relay in the table |
| Captions and transcripts | whisper.cpp, which turns call audio into text |
| Our own mail server, mail.kemble.io, with no relay in between | |
| Database and search | Your messages, and the full-text index search reads — no outside search service |
| Link previews | The server that fetches a page to preview a link posted in a message |
| App and webhook pictures | The server that fetches, once, a picture an app or an incoming webhook names, so readers load it from Kemble |
When this list changes
A service is added to this list before Kemble sends it anything, never after. A payment provider that is not switched on receives nothing.
