Hi guys, I was looking for matrix.org's and Element Client's privacy policies and I saw something that says Matrix and Element shares data with AWS (Amazon Web Service), Cloudflare, Mythic Beasts, UpCloud. Is it safe to use? The matrix.org has good features as FOSS, decentralized etc. But this seem a lil bad. Any experts about prviacy?

It's end to end encrypted, it could be hosted on the NSA's servers for all you care, it should be safe.

The reason this is there is likely because they use those cloud services to provide the hosted services, so they disclose that they do. I don't think it applies to the client you download or the ones you self-host from open-source builds on your own homeserver on your own infrastructure.

Thanks for information. I was thinking about self-hosting nowadays, that will make it quick. Goodbye.
