| - | Data can be relayed through our nodes, in order for other nodes to communicate. All of this data is end-to-end encrypted, and is also chunked so the data is not relayed on a single node. The data being relayed is only on your node long enough to conduct the transfer, and is deleted afterwards automatically. Users can choose to opt out of relay mode if their lack of understanding with this matter raises too much concern. Getting data around the network is difficult and requires more fine tuning- even with relay mode enabled (which helps the network). You can read more about this topic on the [[Qortal Data Network (QDN)]] page.
