Hi @SomeGuy
Push notifications are only sent if the push notification gateway is activated in the workspace settings, a message qualifies for being a push notification AND if users use mobile clients to receive that push notification. Claiming that all private messages have been leaked is not true. A push notification has to go via some third party gateway to reach the mobile clients. Both allowing users to use mobile clients and utilizing push notifications are settings that the workspace admin has to decide upon before opening up his server to his users, no one is forced to. And every admin wanting to use push notifications without his own gateway has to employ a third party. That is how the technology works. It is no secret and therefore no leakage. We provide such a gateway as a service for the benefit of RC users and admins that want to use it. Our privacy policy is transparent that we further use Apple and Google PN gateways. As stated above, PN content is also not analyzed or saved, but merely passed through the gateway and deleted once delivered.
To make this even clearer for new workspaces, the referenced PR disables the push notification for nonregistered workspaces and adds a helping banner. To continue using push notifications via our gateway, workspaces have to register and accept the privacy policy. We value both your and the other feedback in this thread which is why we made the PR to aid admins in understanding better the conditions of using our gateways. We hope you can understand our position here.
