Job applications can be made online; unencrypted application email is insecure
Applicants may use the website’s application link. Wire warns that unencrypted email and attachments are not secure. The following paragraph says application data is used for the application process, may be used where necessary to defend claims, and may be used for employment purposes if an employment relationship is established; sending an application is therefore separate from Messenger account registration.

Google Fonts are hosted locally rather than connecting directly to Google
Wire uses Google Fonts, provided by Google Ireland, but says the fonts are integrated locally on its own server, so this integration makes no direct connection to Google when the website is visited. To the extent data processing occurs, its purpose is uniform font and icon presentation, relying on the stated legitimate interest under Article 31(1) FADP and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This local-font statement does not describe Google Analytics.

Our Website uses Google Fonts for the integration of external fonts, a service provided by Google Ireland Ltd (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter referred to as ‘Google’).
The integration of Google Fonts takes place locally on our own server, so that no direct connection to Google's servers is established when you visit our Website.
Insofar as data processing is carried out, this is done for the purpose of the uniform presentation of fonts and icons. The legal basis is therefore our legitimate interest in the uniform presentation in accordance with Art. 31 sec. 1 FADP and Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Messenger conversations are end-to-end encrypted
Wire says it handles conversation content only as technically needed to provide the service. Text, voice and video chats and shared files and documents are encrypted on the sender’s device and decrypted only on the recipient’s device. Wire says it has neither encryption keys nor backdoors and cannot access conversations. Users can delete conversation content on their own device at any time; this passage does not promise deletion from other users’ devices.

Wire transmits and processes the content of conversations from users of the Wire Messenger only to the extent technically required to provide the relevant services. The content of conversations is encrypted with strong encryption on the sender's device and decrypted only on the recipient's device (end-to-end encryption). This includes all text, voice, and video chats, as well as other files and documents shared in the conversations. Wire does not have access to encryption keys and does not use backdoors. Conversations belong to the users, and Wire has no access to them. Users may delete the content of the conversations on their device specifically and generally at any time.
