# How is Hideout private?

- Hideout is designed to be self-hosted. The idea is that the more privacy-aware and tech-savvy person among a friend group will host the server, to use with their friends. So trust is already a given. The user trusts the server as much as they trust the person hosting.

- Disposable letters can't be read after a max read limit is reached. A disposable chat room can't be joined after the max join limit is reached. This "access-based" approach gives a stronger guarantee of privacy than the "time-based" approach. If a message or chat room is set to be deleted after 15 minutes, nothing stops it from being viewed by unwanted parties at the 14th minute.

- Although Hideout's key feature is a persistent private chat room, it's based on the idea of disposable messages. Disposable letters can't be read after a max read limit is reached. A disposable chat room can't be joined after the max join limit is reached. The entrance to a persistent chat room can't be accessed after the max access limit is reached. This "access-based" approach gives a stronger guarantee of privacy than the "time-based" approach. If a message or chat room is set to be deleted after 15 minutes, nothing stops it from being viewed by unwanted parties at the 14th minute.

Persistent chat rooms is a simple yet powerful idea. It's a private chat room that doesn't expire, so the participants can keep going back to it, without having to create a new room every time they talk. Hideout achieves this in a very simple way.

Imagine you have already created a disposable chat room and you are chatting with your friends. Everything you say in this room is private. If you go ahead and create a second chat room, you can share the link of this new room privately with your friends. Since only you and your friends know about this new room, it doesn't have to expire. Hideout just automates this process.
