When you self-host AmityVox, every message, file, and call stays on your infrastructure. No third party can mine your conversations for advertising, train AI models on your content, or hand your data to anyone else. You decide the retention policies, the backup strategy, and who has access.
Because AmityVox is open source and self-hosted, you can modify the interface, extend the backend, write custom bots with the Go SDK, and tailor every aspect of the platform to your community or organization. No artificial restrictions, no premium gates.
AmityVox supports four federation modes so your server can communicate with other AmityVox instances. Create a network of interconnected communities while each server retains full administrative control. Choose Public, Open, Closed, or Disabled depending on your needs.
With optional end-to-end encryption powered by the MLS protocol (RFC 9420), two-factor authentication via TOTP and WebAuthn, and no tracking or analytics baked in, AmityVox gives your community genuine privacy rather than a privacy policy full of exceptions.
