We take privacy insanely seriously, my prior job was actually as a privacy preserving messaging protocol researcher. WebRTC is by default encrypted. Right now its not e2e encrypted due to bandwidth constraints, but we are working on adding this to the app. Additionally we do not require you to share your phone numbers or your contact list in order to use the app.

You can't have a group voice chat service without recording. They will knock your door soon if you do.
There are just so much surveillance related regulations that I can't believe that's possible. I have first hand experience when I worked in the Telecom industry. Regulators do not ignore any platform with substantial traffic.
I'm not sure what can be done regarding e2e encryption when we're talking about WebRTC and TURN, but I would love to hear your take on this.
