Our Commitment to Your Privacy
At ChatRand, we believe that privacy is a fundamental right. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our random video chat platform. We designed ChatRand to require minimal personal information and to protect your conversations.
Information We Collect
Automatic Data
When you use ChatRand, we automatically collect certain technical information to operate the service:
- IP address (temporarily, for security and moderation purposes)
- Browser type and version
- Device information
- Connection timestamps and duration
- Country and language settings
Voluntary Information
ChatRand does not require registration or personal details. Any information you voluntarily provide—such as through our contact form—is used solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry.
Video & Chat Content
We do not record, store, or transmit your video chats or text conversations. All communication between users happens in real-time and is not retained on our servers. Once a conversation ends, the content is gone. We cannot access, review, or retrieve past conversations.
Cookies & Tracking
ChatRand uses minimal cookies strictly for technical functionality:
- Session cookies to maintain chat connections
- Essential cookies for platform stability
- No advertising or tracking cookies
- No third-party analytics that identify individuals
How We Use Information
We use collected data exclusively for:
- Operating and maintaining the platform
- Detecting and preventing abuse or misuse
- Ensuring compliance with our community guidelines
- Improving service quality and performance
- Responding to user inquiries and support requests
Data Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share limited data in these specific circumstances:
- With trusted service providers who assist in platform operations (under strict confidentiality)
- When required by law or to protect rights, safety, or property
- To enforce our Terms of Service
- In aggregated, anonymized form for statistical purposes
Data Retention
Technical data like IP addresses is retained for a maximum of 30 days for security and moderation purposes. Contact form submissions are deleted after resolution. All chat and video content is never stored and is therefore immediately discarded.
Your Rights & Choices
Since we collect minimal personal information, there is limited personal data to access or delete. However, you may:
- Refuse to provide any voluntary information
- Use browser settings to manage cookies
- Disconnect from chat at any time
- Request information about our data practices via [email protected]
Children's Privacy
ChatRand is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware of such collection, we will delete it promptly. Parents who believe their child may have provided information can contact us for removal.
Security Measures
We implement reasonable security measures to protect our platform and users:
- Encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS)
- AI-powered content moderation
- Automated abuse detection systems
- Regular security reviews
- Limited data retention policies
International Data Transfers
ChatRand operates globally. Our services may process and store information in various countries. By using ChatRand, you consent to such transfers, always with appropriate safeguards for your privacy.
