Our Commitment to Your Privacy
San Jose Chat ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our random video chat platform (the "Service"). Please read this policy carefully. By using San Jose Chat, you consent to the practices described herein.
Information We Collect
We collect minimal information necessary to provide and improve our Service:
- Usage Data: We automatically collect non-personal information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and usage statistics. This helps us understand how users interact with the platform and allows us to optimize performance.
- Cookies: We use cookies to remember preferences (like language settings) and to analyze traffic patterns. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not function properly.
- Chat Logs: Video and audio chats are not stored on our servers. They occur peer-to-peer directly between users. Text chat logs may be temporarily cached for moderation purposes but are automatically deleted after a short period.
- Reports & Feedback: If you contact us or submit a report, we retain that information to address your concerns.
What We Do NOT Collect
We do not require registration, so we do not collect:
- Your real name, email address, or phone number (unless you voluntarily provide them in a contact form)
- Exact location data beyond city-level for analytics
- Financial information
- Government-issued identification numbers
How We Use Your Information
We use collected information to:
- Operate and maintain the Service
- Improve user experience and fix bugs
- Detect and prevent abuse, spam, or policy violations
- Generate anonymous aggregate statistics
- Respond to your support requests
Information Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share non-personal, aggregated data (such as overall usage statistics) with partners or advertisers. In cases where you violate our Terms of Service or engage in illegal activity, we may disclose information to law enforcement authorities as required by law.
Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect against unauthorized access to our systems. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Peer-to-peer video streams are encrypted where technically possible, but you should be aware that the person you're chatting with could potentially record the conversation.
Children's Privacy
San Jose Chat is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. 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.
Third-Party Links
Our Service may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites they visit.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by a revised "Last Updated" date at the top. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new policy.
