- DatChat, Inc. operates as a secure messaging, cybersecurity, and social media company specializing in privacy-centric digital communication platforms. The company develops and markets its flagship product, the DatChat Messenger & Private Social Network, which provides users with a privacy platform and mobile application that enables secure communication by allowing control over message viewing time, deletion of individual or entire message threads, screenshot prevention, and encryption of photos hidden in plain sight on camera rolls. Additionally, DatChat offers the Myseum platform, a secure digital content management and storage ecosystem designed for individuals, families, and groups to store, share, and preserve digital content such as messages, photos, videos, and documents within a private social media environment. The Myseum platform incorporates innovative AI technology for media organization and features anti-AI protection technology in its social sharing tools.
Founded in 2014 and headquartered in New Brunswick, New Jersey, DatChat focuses on delivering enhanced privacy and security for personal and group communications through patented Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology. The company has expanded its business and product offerings recently to include co-development of a mobile-based social metaverse called "The Habytat," alongside its core secure messaging and social media services. In 2025, DatChat rebranded to Myseum, Inc. to align with its strategic shift towards its Myseum platform as its primary business focus while continuing to operate the DatChat messaging platform as a standalone service integrated with its privacy technology. The company also secured a Canadian patent for advanced digital privacy technology in the same year, bolstering its intellectual property portfolio in the cybersecurity space. DatChat primarily serves users seeking advanced privacy controls over digital communications and social media interactions in North America and aims to expand worldwide through its unique privacy and security features integrated with blockchain technology.
The company is led by Founder and CEO Darin M. Myman and maintains a focus on pioneering secure, privacy-first social media and communication technologies, positioning itself as a key player in the competitive privacy and cybersecurity market for mobile and social applications. Key recent developments include Myseum’s debut at RootsTech 2025, its strategic rebranding, and the launch of next-generation social sharing features with enhanced digital content protection, driving growth in its user base and innovation pipeline.
