No. Briar does not conceal your identity from your contacts. It provides *unlinkability* but not *anonymity*. This means nobody else can discover who your contacts are, but your contacts **may** be able to discover who you are.

For example, Briar shares your Bluetooth address with your contacts so they can connect to you via Bluetooth when they're nearby. Your contacts could use this information to confirm a guess about your identity. Your Bluetooth address is shared even if you add a contact remotely by exchanging `briar://` links.
