1 The project "Salut à Toi" was born from a need to protect our liberties, our privacy and our independance. It is intended to protect the rights and liberties a user has regarding her own private and numeric data, her acquaintance's, and the data she handles; it is also intended to be a human contact point, not substituting itself to physical encounters, but rather facilitating them.

15 - We greatly encourage a general _decentralisation_. "Salut à Toi" being based on a decentralised protocol (XMPP), he is by nature decentralised. This is essential for a better protection of your information, a better resistance to censorship and hardware or software failures, and to alleviate authoritarian tendencies.
