Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-01-01

The short version: we don't sell your data, we don't track you, and there's no account to sign up for.

1. Information we don't collect

  • No account. There is no registration, so we never ask for your name, email address, or phone number.
  • No tracking. We do not use advertising networks, tracking pixels, fingerprinting, or third-party analytics.
  • No cookies for tracking. We only use your browser's localStorage to remember a random session id and your chat preferences (mode and interests).

2. Information we process (and why)

To operate the service we briefly process:

  • A random session id generated in your browser, used to keep your block list consistent across reconnects.
  • Messages you send during a chat, kept in memory for the lifetime of the room so your partner can see them, then discarded. Rooms idle too long are cleaned up automatically.
  • Interest tags you choose, used only to find a compatible match.
  • Your IP address in memory for rate limiting and abuse prevention. Logs do not link IPs to chat content.
  • Report logs (reason, note, room context) when you or someone you chat with files a report. These are kept to investigate abuse and are never shared publicly.

3. Video chat

Video and audio calls use WebRTC and travel directly between you and your chat partner (peer to peer). Your camera and microphone feeds are never transmitted through or stored on our servers. We only relay a small signaling message to help you connect.

4. Children

Stranger Chat is not directed at children under 13. Users under 18 are strongly advised not to use video chat and should never share personal information.

5. Data sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties. Report data may be shared with law enforcement if required by law.

6. Data retention

Chat messages and room state live only in memory and are removed when the room closes or times out. The moderation report log is retained as long as needed for safety purposes.

7. Your rights

Because we store almost nothing, there's little to delete. To clear your browser-local session id and preferences, clear your browser's site data for this domain. To request removal of a report record, contact us.

8. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
