Metadata
Tracking
It's like the envelope of a letter — it shows who sent it, who got it, and when, but not what’s inside.
Définition
Metadata is information about your communication — like who you talked to, when, and how often — not the content itself.
En termes simples
It's like the envelope of a letter — it shows who sent it, who got it, and when, but not what’s inside.
Pourquoi c’est important
Even if your messages are encrypted, metadata can reveal patterns about your life and relationships.
Exemple
WhatsApp uses E2EE, but still logs metadata like your contacts and the times you message them.
