Hacker group Anonymous India has said of that the chat app Jio is allegedly sending data to a Chinese server. The group accused Reliance Jio of violating the rules by sending the users data to a Chinese IP. The group in their Twitter account @AnonOpsIndia handle, tweeted that, "Over 500k mobile data taken by China made Reliance Jio app. Hosting by Chinese too."

The company said, "All Jio Chat data and associated servers are hosted physically in Reliance Jio data centres in India. No data travels outside of India from Jio Chat servers." "The analysis published is by an inexperienced novice who either does not understand the APK coding or has deliberately tried to sensationalise the issue by conveniently highlighting irrelevant portions of the APK script," they added.

It said, "This is not executable code, meaning these references are not used by the application while running. Proper and complete examination of the code would show that the app does not transfer data to any servers outside of India."
