Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Private Chat ("we", "us") processes information when you visit our website and use our temporary private 1-to-1 chat service. We have designed the product around privacy: conversations are temporary, and we do not permanently store chat history.

By using the service, you agree to the practices described here. We aim to keep this policy clear and honest about what information is processed and why.

You can use the service without creating a permanent account. Instead, we use temporary guest profiles so you can start a conversation quickly.

When you join, you may provide a small amount of profile information to help set up your session. This may include:

These details are limited and are used only to run the temporary session and connect you with other people.

Temporary session information is required to operate the chat and keep your conversation connected.

• Your name or a display name
• Your age
• Your country
• Your gender

We use the information you provide to operate the chat and connect you with other people in private 1-to-1 conversations. Profile details help set up the temporary session and personalize your experience.

We do not use your profile to build a permanent marketing profile of you, and we do not sell your personal information.

Private messages are not intended to be permanently stored as chat history. They are meant to be temporary. We use WebSocket connections for real-time communication so that messages flow between participants as you chat.

Temporary data related to your session may remain briefly after you leave where necessary for technical cleanup or to maintain service stability. We aim to remove session data as soon as it is no longer needed.

The website may use cookies or local browser storage where required for the service to work, including:

• Temporary session functionality, so the service remembers your session while you chat
• Preferences, such as your selected theme (for example, light or dark mode)
• Analytics, to help us understand how the service is used and improve it
• Advertising and consent, where applicable

The website may use Google AdSense or other approved advertising services to display advertisements. These services may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads and to support relevant advertising and consent where required by law.

Third-party advertising providers may process data according to their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their policies for more detail on how they handle that data.

As part of our current safety design, external links shared in chat are blocked by the application. This helps reduce the risk of spam, phishing and other unsafe or risky links.

We design the service so that conversations are temporary rather than permanently stored chat history. Temporary session data may remain briefly after you leave, where necessary for technical reasons or session cleanup.

We aim to remove temporary data as soon as it is no longer needed for the service to operate.

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the service and the information processed through it. Because conversations are temporary and external links in chat are blocked, the service is designed to reduce common online risks.

While we work to keep the service secure, no method of transmission or storage is absolutely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security against every possible threat.

The service is intended for people who are old enough to use it legally and responsibly. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the service, please contact us so we can address it.

You should not share sensitive personal information in conversations. Even though chats are temporary and not permanently stored as history, you are responsible for what you choose to share while talking to other people.

Because conversations are private 1-to-1 chats, the person you are talking to is a user just like you. Please be thoughtful about the information you disclose.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding the personal information that is processed, such as the right to ask how your data is used, the right to request that temporary data be removed, and the right to make a complaint to a relevant supervisory authority.

Since the service relies on temporary guest sessions rather than permanent accounts, there is usually little stored information to access or delete. If you have questions, you can always contact us.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the service or legal requirements. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
