Private content is generally hidden or obscured even from hub administrators. It is also stripped from email notifications. It is difficult but NOT impossible for this content to be seen by a hub administrator who is determined to monitor your communications. We consider this like the lock on the door of a house. It will generally keep the house safe, but a determined burgler will ignore the lock on the door and instead break a window. +##Identity Privacy + +Privacy for your identity is another aspect.

Although the Red Matrix software can do everything to respect your privacy, your hub administrator is the one who has the final responsibility.

So choose wisely, make sure you trust your hub admin or make all your messages encrypted. And again: you can always run your own hub. -- cgit v1.2.3
