Thanks for writing this up and posting it! So:

- It’s not E2ee. It’s not even client side encrypted.

- You encrypt at rest. But using a key that you control anyway. The master key presumably is never stored in the database, which is a nice touch in case the database gets stolen.

- Images aren’t encrypted at all for some reason. (I think you’d find encrypting images with aes to be pretty fast. If you’re using tls, the image data is already being encrypted and decrypted over the wire, but too fast for you to notice).

How long is data stored for? Are images ever deleted? Is text?

And are you using TLS? At the protocol level everything is sent in the clear. So your transport security is quite important.
