FAQ says encrypted messages are temporarily stored on Vexl servers, FCM handles push notifications, and revealing identity shares profile/phone information; this is narrower than the homepage's absolute no-personal-data/no-message-storage claim.

Analysis

OVERVIEW

Vexl is a mobile P2P Bitcoin marketplace built by SatoshiLabs, the maker of Trezor, using phone-number verification and a contact-graph web-of-trust instead of a traditional account database.

LIMITS

A valid phone number and contact list drive matching, and the record notes that Google or Apple app telemetry, push notifications and IP exposure can apply unless separately mitigated.

USEFUL FOR

Bitcoin traders willing to verify by phone number and rely on their contact graph for peer discovery.
