Element is different from other messaging
and collaboration apps. It operates on the Matrix, an open network for secure
and decentralized communications. This allows self-hosting to give users
greater ownership and control over their data and messages.
Privacy and encrypted messaging:
Element protects you from unwanted
ads, data mining, and walled gardens. It also protects all your data,
one-on-one video chats, and voice communications through end-to-end encryption
and cross-signature device authentication.
The element gives you control over your
privacy while allowing you to communicate securely with anyone on the Matrix
network or other business collaboration tools by integrating with productivity
apps like Slack.
A self-hosted element can be:
To allow more control over your
sensitive data and communications, the element can be self-hosted or you can
choose any host based on the Matrix, an open-source decentralized communication
standard. The element gives you privacy, security compliance, and integration
flexibility.
Ownership of your data:
You decide where to store your data
and messages. No risk of data mining or access by third parties.
The element gives you control in
several ways:
1. Get a free account on the
matrix.org public server hosted by the Matrix developers, or choose from thousands
of public servers hosted by volunteers.
2. Self-host your account by running
a server on your IT infrastructure.
3. Sign up for a custom server
account by subscribing to the Element Matrix Services hosting platform.
Open messaging and collaboration:
You can chat with anyone on the
Matrix network, whether they're using Element, another Matrix app, or a
different messaging app.
Highly secure:
True end-to-end encryption (only
those in the conversation can decrypt messages) and cross-signature device authentication.
Complete communication and
integration:
Messaging, voice, and video calls,
file sharing, screen sharing, and tons of integrations, bots, and widgets.
