Agora, the technology provider behind hit audio app Clubhouse, says it does not store user data

Agora, the real-time technology company powering the wildly popular social audio app Clubhouse, does not store user data, says the company’s co-founder.

“Agora is just a ‘pass-over’. We don’t store any end-user data,” Wang said. “And our clients will typically encrypt their user data.” HIPPA, or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is a 1996 US federal law designed to protect sensitive patient health information while GDPR, the General Data Protection Regulation, was introduced by the EU in 2018 to protect the personal data and privacy of consumers.

Founded in 2014 by Wang and Tony Zhao, former chief technology officer at Chinese livestreaming giant YY, Agora develops software that improves the existing internet infrastructure to ensure stable transfers of real-time voice and video data, thus helping platforms like Clubhouse achieve real-time engagement for all users.
