How TG Cerber handles access to Telegram

For the check and for Continuous Protection TG Cerber needs a separate Telegram session. Below: what happens to your data, what stays on the device, and what you control.

TG Cerber is an independent service and is not affiliated with Telegram.

Access architecture

Two different sessions for two different jobs

The one-off check session and the standing protection session live by different rules.

Temporary

Free Security Check

During the check TG Cerber briefly creates a separate session, reads the security parameters and closes it in the normal way. The login code and the cloud password are held in memory only and are not stored. The Risk Score is produced during the check and is not kept on the server.

Standing

Continuous Protection

The protection session runs on our server. That is why it watches the account around the clock, whether or not your phone is on. You see it in Telegram → Settings → Devices as “TG Cerber” and can terminate it at any moment — protection then stops.

Scope of the check

What the Free Security Check uses

  • Active SessionsThe list of authorizations and the device details that have access to the account.
  • 2FA and Recovery EmailThe state of Two-Step Verification and whether a recovery e-mail is set.
  • Connected sites and servicesExternal authorizations granted through Telegram.

Access boundaries

What TG Cerber does not use

  • The content of your conversationsNot used for the check and not stored.
  • Sending and deleting messagesThe Free Security Check does not send or delete messages.
  • Account settingsThe Free Security Check does not change your Telegram account settings.

Data protection

How check data is protected

The temporary check database is encrypted with a one-time key. Your Telegram cloud password never leaves your device. It is used only for cryptographic confirmation at sign-in and is never sent to our servers in any form. Your Vault key never leaves your device. The backup is encrypted with the public half of the key, and only you can decrypt it: we hold no key that could.

Your control

What the user controls

The TG Cerber session

It shows up among the active sessions in your Telegram account settings and can be terminated at any moment.
