#ProtectWhatMattersMost
+++ Why ginlo? +++
Encryption – secure & private 🔑
ginlo protects your privacy and encrypts all your data with the strongest algorithms. Not just during transport (end-to-end), but also on the local devices. And thanks to this full encryption, we as the provider have no access at all.
#PrivacyExists
No tracking. No profiling. No ads. 🚫
ginlo isn’t another ad-based service. With ginlo for private users, we rely on a traditional business model and finance it via the ginlo Business app, the secure messenger for companies.
#NoTracking
Made & hosted in Germany 🥨
We, Brabbler AG, are based in Munich and thus act under German legislation. Your encrypted data is exclusively hosted on German servers. GDPR-compliant.

How about some James Bond feeling? “This message will self-destruct.” You can set a countdown so your message, image, or video will only be visible to the recipient for a short time or you can select an expiration date and time.

Scheduled messages 📆
“Back to the future”, please. Been so busy you forgot to congratulate a friend for their birthday? With ginlo, that’s a thing of the past. Just schedule a message – and your reminders, birthday wishes, and the like are automatically sent at the date and time you define.
