4. Legal Ground For Processing Your Personal Data
Telegram processes your personal data on the ground that such processing is necessary
to further Telegram’s legitimate interests (including: (1) providing effective and innovative
Services to users; and (2) to detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud or security issues in
respect of Telegram
provision of Services), unless those interests are overridden by your interest or fundamental
rights and freedoms that require protections of personal data.
5. What Personal Data We Use
5.1. Basic Account Data
Telegram is a communication service. You provide your mobile number and basic account data
(which may include profile name, profile picture and about information) to create a Telegram
account.
To make it easier for your contacts and other people to reach you and recognize who
you are, the screen name you choose, your profile pictures, and your username (should you
choose to set one) on Telegram are always public. We don't want to know your real name, gender,
age or what you like.
We do not require your screen name to be your real name. Note that users
who have you in their contacts will see you by the name they saved and not by your screen name.
This way your mother can have the public name 'Johnny Depp' while appearing as 'Mom' to you and
as 'Boss' to her underlings at work (or the other way around, depending on how these relationships
are structured).
5.1.1 Optional Data
You can add your birthday (with or without the year) to your Telegram profile if you wish to do
so. You can granularly choose which users are able to see it on your profile (by default, your
Contacts), and they will be shown a reminder on the day. We may use data about your age to
determine your eligibility for accessing age-specific content.
Telegram Business subscribers
can add a fixed location and a list of opening hours to their profile, to help clients
identify and engage with their business more efficiently on Telegram. If you choose to
add it to your profile, this information is always public.
5.2. Your Email Address
When you enable 2-step-verification for your account or store documents using the Telegram
Passport feature, you can opt to set up a password recovery email. This address will only be used
to send you a password recovery code if you forget it. That's right: no marketing or “we miss you”
bullshit.
From September 2022, we may ask some users to provide an email address to receive login codes
via email instead of SMS (with an option to use 'Sign in With Google' / 'Sign in with Apple').
In this case, we will receive an email address which will be stored separately from the recovery
email, and will only be used to send you authentication codes when you log in to your account.
The login email address will be stored until it is changed or the account is deleted.
5.3. Your Messages
5.3.1. Cloud Chats
Telegram is a cloud service. We store messages, photos, videos and documents from your
cloud chats on our servers so that you can access your data from any of your devices
anytime without having to rely on third-party backups. All data is stored heavily encrypted and
the encryption keys in each case are stored in several other data centers in different jurisdictions.
This way local engineers or physical intruders cannot get access to user data.
5.3.2. Secret Chats
Secret chats use end-to-end encryption. This means that all data is encrypted with
a key that only you and the recipient know. There is no way for us or anybody
else without direct access to your device to learn what content is being sent in those messages.
We do not store your secret chats on our servers. We also do not keep any logs for messages
in secret chats, so after a short period of time we no longer know who or when you messaged
via secret chats. For the same reasons secret chats are not available in the cloud — you can
only access those messages from the device they were sent to or from.
5.3.3. Media in Secret Chats
When you send photos, videos or files via secret chats, before being uploaded, each item is
encrypted with a separate key, not known to the server. This key and the file’s location are
then encrypted again, this time with the secret chat’s key — and sent to your recipient.
They can then download and decipher the file. This means that the file is technically on
one of Telegram’s servers, but it looks like a piece of random indecipherable garbage to
everyone except for you and the recipient. We don’t know what this random data stands for
and we have no idea which particular chat it belongs to. We periodically purge this random
data from our servers to save disk space.
5.3.4. Public Chats
In addition to private messages, Telegram also supports public channels and public groups.
All public chats are cloud chats (see section 5.3.1 above).
Like everything on Telegram, the data you post in public communities is encrypted, both in
storage and in transit — but everything you post in public will be accessible to everyone.
5.3.5. Paid Posts
As of June 2024, creators are able to offer paid access to specific channel posts by
accepting Telegram Stars.
When users pay to unlock a channel post, a permanent copy is created which resides in the
parties' transaction history. This copy remains accessible even if the post is later deleted
or either party loses access to the channel.
5.4. Phone Number and Contacts
Telegram uses phone numbers as unique identifiers so that it is easy for you to switch from SMS
and other messaging apps and retain your social graph. We ask your permission before syncing your
contacts.
We store your up-to-date contacts in order to notify you as soon as one of your contacts signs
up for Telegram and to properly display names in notifications. We only need the number and
name (first and last) for this to work and store no other data about your contacts.
Our automatic algorithms can also use anonymized sets of phone numbers to calculate the
approximate number of potential contacts an unregistered phone number may have on Telegram.
When you open the 'Invite friends' interface, we display the resulting statistics next to
your contacts to give you an idea of who could benefit most from joining Telegram.
You can always stop syncing contacts or delete them from our servers in
Settings > Privacy & Security > Data Settings.
If you are using Android, Telegram will ask you for permission to access your phone
call logs (READ_CALL_LOG). If you grant this permission, Telegram will be able verify
your account by transmitting a phone call instead of asking you to enter a code.
Telegram uses this permission only to confirm receipt of the confirmation call by
verifying the number in the call log.
5.5. Location Data
If you share a location in a chat, this location data is treated like other messages in cloud
or secret chats respectively.
If you share your Live Location in any chat or turn on ’Make Myself Visible’ in People Nearby,
Telegram will use your data to display your location to those users with whom you are sharing
it, even when the app is closed – for as long as you keep these optional features activated.
6. Keeping Your Personal Data Safe
6.1. Storing Data
If you signed up for Telegram from the UK or the EEA, your data is stored in data centers in the
Netherlands. These are third-party provided data centers in which Telegram rents a designated space.
However, the servers and networks that sit inside these data centers and on which your personal
data is stored are owned by Telegram. As such, we do not share your personal data with such data
centers. All data is stored heavily encrypted so that local Telegram engineers or physical intruders
cannot get access.
6.2. End-to-End Encrypted Data
Your messages, media and files from secret chats (see section 5.3.2 above),
as well as the contents of your calls and the data you store in your
Telegram Passport are processed only on
your device and on the device of your recipient. Before this data reaches our servers, it
is encrypted with a key known only to you and the recipient. While Telegram servers will
handle this end-to-end encrypted data to deliver it to the recipient – or store it in the
case of Telegram Passport data, we have no ways of deciphering the actual information.
In this case, we neither store nor process your personal data, rather we store and process
random sequences of symbols that have no meaning without the keys which we don’t have.
6.3. Retention
Unless stated otherwise in this Privacy Policy, the personal data that you provide us will
only be stored for as long as it is necessary for us to fulfill our obligations in respect of
the provision of the Services.
7. Processing Your Personal Data
7.1. Our Services
Telegram is a cloud service. We will process your data to deliver your cloud chat history,
including messages, media and files, to any devices of your choosing without a need for you to
use third-party backups or cloud storage.
7.2. Safety and Security
Telegram supports massive communities which we have to police against abuse and Terms of Service
violations. Telegram also has more than 900 million users which makes it a lucrative target for
spammers. To improve the security of your account, as well as to prevent spam, abuse, and other
violations of our Terms of Service, we may collect metadata such as your IP address, devices and
Telegram apps you've used, history of username changes, etc. If collected, this metadata can be
kept for 12 months maximum.
7.3. Spam and Abuse
To prevent phishing, spam and other kinds of abuse and violations of Telegram’s Terms of
Service, our moderators may check messages that were reported to them by their recipients.
If a spam report on a message you sent is confirmed by our moderators, your account may be
limited from contacting strangers – temporarily or permanently. You can send an appeal
using @Spambot. In case of more serious violations,
your account may be banned. We may also use automated algorithms to analyze messages
in cloud chats to stop spam and phishing.
7.4. Cross-Device Functionality
We may also store some aggregated metadata to create Telegram features (see section 7.5 below)
that work across all your devices.
7.5. Advanced features
We may use some aggregated data about how you use Telegram to build useful features. For example,
when you open the Search menu, Telegram displays the people you are more likely to message in a
box at the top of the screen. To do this, we calculate a rating that shows which people you message
frequently. A similar rating is calculated for inline bots so that the app can suggest the bots
you are most likely to use in the attachment menu (or when you start a new message with “@”).
To turn this feature off and delete the relevant data, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Data Settings
and disable “Suggest Frequent Contacts”.
7.6. Ads Based on User Data
Unlike other services, we don't use your data for ad targeting or other commercial
purposes. Telegram only stores the information it needs to function as a secure and feature-rich
cloud service.
Telegram offers a tool for advertisers to promote their messages in public one-to-many channels,
but these sponsored messages are based solely on the topic of the public channels in which
they are shown. No user data is mined or analyzed to display ads or sponsored messages.
8. Bot Messages
8.1. Ecosystem
Telegram has an API that allows third-party developers to create bots. Bots are apps that look
like special Telegram users: you can talk to them from your chat list, add them to groups or
use a special “inline” interface to access their features. By performing any of these actions,
you will be sending some of your data to the respective third-party bot developers.
8.2. How Bots Can Receive Data
You can send data to bot developers when you interact with their bots in one of these ways:
By using Telegram Business features that connect a chatbot to your account.
By opening a chat with a Telegram Business account controlled by a chatbot (see section 8.5 below).
8.3. What Data Bots Data
In any of the above cases, the developers of an automated user (bot) can get your public account
data (see section 4.1 above): your screen name, username
and profile picture(s).
Bots can also receive the following data when you interact with them.
Bots will obviously get your messages when you send them something.
If you click on links or buttons provided by the bot, the bot can potentially get your IP address (provided that it controls the website to which the link leads).
If the bot is a member of the same group with you, it may know you are a member.
When you start your message with the username of an inline bot (e.g. @gif) the interface transforms so that everything you type becomes a query to that bot. This query is sent to the bot so that it can provide its service. We will warn you about this the first time you use an inline bot.
Bots added to groups can operate in two modes: with access to messages in the group or without access. If the bot has access to messages, it can see everything that happens in the group. The interface clearly shows whether or not a bot has access to messages in groups.
To facilitate text localization, bots you interact with (including via chats managed by Telegram Business Chatbots), may receive your interface language based on your app or operating system language settings. Note that if you update your language settings, bots may continue to receive your previous language for some time.
8.4. Bots Are Not Maintained by Telegram
Other than our own bots, no other bots or third-party bot developers are affiliated with Telegram.
They are completely independent from us. They should ask you for your permission before they access
your data or you make it available to them.
8.5. Telegram Business Chatbots Telegram Business subscribers can
connect third-party bots to their Telegram account, to help them automatically process and
respond to messages from users.
8.5.1. Communicating with a Business Chatbot
Telegram users have been able to communicate with bots, including bots run by businesses, since
2015. With the introduction of Telegram Business, users can also seamlessly interface with bots
in private chats with Telegram Business users who have connected a chatbot to their account.
If you message a Business user who connected a chatbot to their account, depending on their
settings, you may be effectively communicating with a bot, and it will receive basic data about
you as detailed in section 8.3 above.
8.5.2. Using a Business Chatbot to Manage Your Chats
If you connect a third-party bot to your account via Telegram Business, the bot will have access
to basic information about your account (see section 8.3 above), and will be able to message you
privately. Additionally, the bot will have access to all messages, media and files contained in
the private chats you allow it to manage. Lastly, if you grant it permission to do so (and only
in the private chats you assigned to it), the bot will be able to send messages and perform other
actions on your behalf.
You can alter or revoke the bot’s permissions, including the list of chats it can access, at any
time from Settings > Telegram Business > Chatbots on official Telegram clients.
9. Third Party Payment Services
9.1. Payment Information
The Payment Platform for Bots is available to users as of Telegram 4.0. Telegram does not
process payments from users and instead relies on different payment providers around the world.
It is the payment providers that handle and store your credit card details. Neither Telegram nor
the merchants on the platform (bot developers) have access to this information. Although we work
with payment providers they are completely independent from Telegram. Please study their relevant
privacy policies before making your data available to them.
9.2. Credit Card Information
When making a purchase, you enter your credit card details into a form supplied by the payment
provider that will be processing the payment, and this information goes directly to the payment
provider's server. Your credit card information never reaches Telegram's servers. We do not
access and do not store your credit card information. When you save your credit card info,
it is saved on the respective payment provider's servers and the payment provider gives Telegram
a token that you can reuse for future payments. It is not possible to reconstruct your credit
card info from the token.
9.3. Shipping Information
When you enter shipping information in the process of placing an order, we send it directly to
the merchant bot developer. We can store your shipping information for you if you choose to save
it for future purchases. We will delete this information immediately if you ask us to.
9.4. Clearing Payment Information
You can clear all payment information associated with your account at any time by going to
Telegram Settings > Privacy & Security > Data Settings and selecting ‘Clear Payment & Shipping
Info’. If you choose to remove your payment information, we will delete your stored shipping
info and payment tokens from all providers and ask the payment providers to remove your credit
card information that they store.
9.5. Payment Disputes
Due to the fact that Telegram doesn't store any credit card details or transaction information,
it is impossible for us to handle complaints or cashbacks – any disputed payments are the
responsibility of the bot developers, payment providers, and banks that participated in the exchange.
10. Who Your Personal Data May Be Shared With
10.1. Other Telegram Users
Other users of our Services with whom you choose to communicate with and share certain
information, who may be located outside the EEA. Note that by entering into the Terms of Service
and choosing to communicate with such other users of Telegram, you are instructing us to transfer
your personal data, on your behalf, to those users in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We
employ all appropriate technical and organizational measures (including encryption of your personal
data) to ensure a level of security for your personal data that is appropriate to the risk.
However, note that if you chat with others and share data with them, they become capable of
sharing such data further with third parties without your knowledge or consent, and Telegram has
no way to prevent this.
10.2. Telegram’s Group Companies
To provide, improve and support our Services, we may share your personal data with: (1) our
parent company, Telegram Group Inc, located in the British Virgin Islands, (2) Telegraph Inc.,
a group member also located in the BVI; and (3) Telegram FZ-LLC, a group member located in Dubai.
We will implement appropriate safeguards to protect the security and integrity of that personal
data. This will take the form of standard contract clauses approved by the European Commission
in an agreement between us and our relevant group companies.
10.3. Law Enforcement Authorities
If Telegram receives a court order that confirms you're a terror suspect, we may disclose your
IP address and phone number to the relevant authorities. So far, this has never happened.
When it does, we will include it in a semiannual transparency report published at: https://t.me/transparency.
10.4. Translation of Chats, Channels and specific Messages at the Request of the User
Users can choose to translate a specific text message into a different language by tapping
“Translate” in the action menu of the message (to enable this option, a user should first turn
on Translation services in the Settings > Languages section of the Telegram application).
Telegram Premium users can also optionally enable automatic live translation on any chat, group
or channel.
Since Telegram may rely on a third-party, Google LLC, subsidiary of Alphabet Inc, for automatic
translation of messages, the text of any message or set of messages that users choose to translate
may be shared with Google in order to obtain their translated versions. Google will only access
the data to provide a translation and will not use it for any other Google products, services,
or advertising.
10.5. Transcription of Voice and Video Messages at the Request of the User
Some users can choose to convert a voice or video message to text by tapping on the Voice-to-Text
icon (“->A”) displayed on eligible messages (to be able to use this option, users should subscribe
to Telegram Premium in the Settings > Telegram Premium section of the Telegram application).
Since Telegram may rely on a third party, Google LLC, subsidiary of Alphabet Inc, for
voice-to-text conversion, the audio data of voice and video messages that users choose to
convert to text may be shared with Google in order to obtain their transcribed versions. Only
audio data may be shared for this purpose (no other data, such as the user's IP address or any
information about their account is shared). According to the agreement between Telegram and Google,
Telegram will pay for the transcriptions on behalf of its users and Google will only access the
audio data to provide a transcribed version – it will not log audio data or transcripts, and will
not use the data for any other Google products, services, or advertising.
11. Your Rights Regarding the Personal Data You Provide to Us
11.1. Your Rights
Under applicable data protection legislation, in certain circumstances, you have rights
concerning your personal data. You have a right to: (1) request a copy of all your personal
data that we store and to transmit that copy to another data controller; (2) delete (see section
12 below) or amend your personal data; (3) restrict, or object to, the processing of your personal
data; (4) correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold on you; and (5) lodge a
complaint with national data protection authorities regarding our processing of your personal data.
11.2. Exercising Your Rights
If you wish to exercise any of these rights, kindly use the contact details in section 12 below.
11.3. Data Settings
You can control how your data is used (e.g., delete synced contacts) in Settings > Privacy
& Security > Data Settings (using one of our mobile apps).
Sadly, if you're not OK with Telegram's modest minimum requirements, it won't be possible
for us to provide you with our Services. You can delete your Telegram account by proceeding
to the deactivation page.
12. Deleting data
12.1. Accounts
If you would like to delete your account, you can do this on the
deactivation page. Deleting your account
removes all messages, media, contacts and every other piece of data you store in the Telegram
cloud. This action must be confirmed via your Telegram account and cannot be undone.
12.2. Messages
In secret chats, deleting a message always instructs the app on the other end to delete it too.
In cloud chats, you can choose to delete a message for all participants within at least
48 hours after sending. Otherwise, deleting a message will delete it from your message history.
This means that a copy will stay on the server as part of your partner's message history.
As soon as your partner deletes it too, it's gone forever.
As of version 5.5, any
party can choose to delete any messages in one-on-one chats, both sent and received,
for both sides. There is no time limit. Any party can also opt to clear the entire chat
history for both parties, in which case the apps will be instructed to remove all messages
in that chat, regardless of how many messages are retained by either of the participants.
In supergroups and channels,
deleting a message removes it for all participants. Note that deleted messages and
original versions of edited messages from supergroups are stored for 48 hours after
deletion in order to be shown in admins' Recent Actions
panel. For paid posts in channels, see 5.3.5.
12.3. Self-Destructing Messages
Messages in Secret Chats can be ordered to self-destruct.
As soon as such a message is read (2 checks appear),
the countdown starts. When the timer expires, both devices participating in a secret chat are
instructed to delete the message (photo, video, etc.). Media with short timers (less than a minute)
are shown with blurred previews. The timer is triggered when they are viewed.
12.4. Account Self-Destruction
By default, if you stop using Telegram and do not come online for at least 6 months, your
account will be deleted along with all messages, media, contacts and every other piece of data
you store in the Telegram cloud. You can go to Settings to change the exact period after which
your inactive account will self-destruct.
13. Registration In Application
13.1.
Since the 28th of February 2023, the registration process has changed, because of the
new Telegram rules. Now, the User can’t create an account in Pepegram Messenger. According to the new
