Element is different from other messaging and collaboration apps. It runs on the Matrix, an open network for secure and decentralized communication. It allows self-hosting to give users maximum ownership and control over their data and messages.
Privacy and encrypted messaging:
Element protects you from unwanted advertisements, data mining and walled gardens. It also secures all your data, one-on-one video chats and voice communications through end-to-end encryption and cross-signature device verification.
Element integrates with productivity apps like Slack, allowing you to securely communicate with anyone on the Matrix network or other business collaboration tools, while giving you control over your privacy.
Item can be self hosted:
You can choose Element self-hosted or any Matrix-based host with an open source, decentralized communication standard to allow greater control over your sensitive data and conversations. Element gives you privacy, security compliance, and integration flexibility.
Own your data:
You decide where to store your data and messages. Without risk of data mining or access from third parties.
Element gives you control in different ways:
1. Get a free account on matrix.org public server hosted by Matrix developers or choose from thousands of public servers hosted by volunteers
2. Host your account yourself by running a server in your own IT infrastructure
3. Sign up for an account on a dedicated server only by subscribing to the Element Matrix Services hosting platform
