Because *Google Cloud Notifications (GCM)* are tied with an API key to a specific app your server can not initiate the push message directly. Instead your server will send the push notification to the Conversations App server (operated by us) which then acts as a proxy and initiates the push message for you. The push message send form our App server through GCM doesn’t contain any personal information. It is just an empty message which will wake up your device and tell Conversations to reconnect to your server. The information send from your server to our App server depends on the configuartion of your server but can be limited to your account name. (In any case the Conversations App server won't redirect any information through GCM even if your server sends this information.) +You need to be running the Play Store version of Conversations and your server needs to support push notifications.

We - as the operator of the App server - will just get hold of your account name (without being able to tie this to your specific device). If you don’t want this simply pick a server which does not offer Push Notifications or build Conversations yourself without support for push notifications. (This is available via a gradle build flavor.) Non-play store source of Conversations like the Amazon App store will also offer a version without push notifications. Conversations will just work as before and maintain its own TCP connection in the background. @@ -259,7 +259,7 @@ I am available for hire. Contact me via XMPP: `inputmice@siacs.eu` #### Why are there three end-to-end encryption methods and which one should I choose? -In most cases OTR should be the encryption method of choice. It works out of the box with most contacts as long as they are online. However, openPGP can, in some cases, (message carbons to multiple clients) be more flexible. Unlike OTR, OMEMO works even when a contact is offline, and works with multiple devices. It also allows asynchronous file-transfer when the server has [HTTP File Upload](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0363.html). However, OMEMO is not as widely supported as OTR and is currently implemented only by Conversations. OMEMO should be preffered over OTR for contacts who use Conversations. +In most cases OTR should be the encryption method of choice.
