 <h4><a class="anchor" name="3-1-basic-account-data" href="#3-1-basic-account-data"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>3.1. Basic Account Data</h4>
 <p>Telegram is a communication service. You provide your mobile number and basic account data (which may include profile name, profile picture and about information) to create a Telegram account.</p>
 <p>To make it easier for your contacts and other people to reach you and recognize who you are, the screen name you choose, your profile pictures, and your <a href="https://telegram.org/faq#usernames-and-t-me">username</a> (should you choose to set one) on Telegram are always public. We don&#39;t want to know your real name, gender, age or what you like. </p>
 <p>We do <strong>not</strong> require your screen name to be your real name. Note that users who have you in their contacts will see you by the name they saved and not by your screen name. This way your mother can have the public name &#39;Johnny Depp&#39; while appearing as &#39;Mom&#39; to you and as &#39;Boss&#39; to her underlings at work (or the other way around, depending on how these relationships are structured).</p>

 <p>When you enable 2-step-verification for your account or store documents using the Telegram Passport feature, you can opt to set up a password recovery email. This address will only be used to send you a password recovery code if you forget it. That&#39;s right: no marketing or “we miss you” bullshit.</p>

 <p>Telegram is a cloud service. We store messages, photos, videos and documents from your <em>cloud chats</em> on our servers so that you can access your data from any of your devices anytime without having to rely on third-party backups. All data is stored heavily encrypted and the encryption keys in each case are stored in several other data centers in different jurisdictions. This way local engineers or physical intruders cannot get access to user data.</p>

This address will only be used to send you a password recovery code if you forget it. That&#39;s right: no marketing or “we miss you” bullshit.</p>
+<p>From September 2022, we may ask some users to provide an email address to receive login codes via email instead of SMS (with an option to use &#39;Sign in With Google&#39; / &#39;Sign in with Apple&#39;). In this case, we will receive an email address which will be stored separately from the recovery email, and will only be used to send you authentication codes when you log in to your account. The login email address will be stored until it is changed or the account is deleted.</p>
