Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 15, 2025

At Chatalix, privacy and anonymity are at the core of our anonymous chat platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our anonymous messaging service for private one-on-one conversations and regional chat connections.

We prioritize complete anonymity and minimal data collection to ensure your private conversations remain truly anonymous and secure.

Information We Collect

For anonymous chat functionality, we collect minimal information:

  • Optional Account Information: If you choose to create an account, we only collect an email address for account recovery (no real names required).
  • Anonymous Chat Data: Temporary session identifiers for anonymous chat connections (automatically deleted after sessions end).
  • Regional Preferences: General location data (country/region level only) for regional chat matching, if you choose to use this feature.
  • Technical Data: Minimal technical information required for service functionality (IP addresses are not stored long-term).

How We Use Your Information

We use the minimal information we collect solely to:

  • Facilitate anonymous one-on-one chat connections
  • Enable regional chat matching when requested
  • Maintain service security and prevent abuse
  • Provide basic technical support when needed
  • Comply with legal obligations (only when legally required)

Anonymous Chat Sessions

Our anonymous chat feature is designed for complete privacy. Chat sessions use temporary identifiers that are automatically deleted when conversations end. We do not store chat histories or link conversations to personal identities.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell or share your information. Limited sharing only occurs when:

  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information only when legally required by valid court orders or law enforcement requests.
  • Service Providers: Minimal technical data may be shared with essential service providers under strict privacy agreements.
  • Safety Concerns: Only in cases of immediate safety threats or illegal activity.

Data Retention

We practice data minimization and short retention periods:

  • Anonymous chat sessions: Deleted immediately after conversations end
  • Account information: Retained only while account is active
  • Technical logs: Automatically deleted after 30 days
  • Regional preferences: Deleted when you change settings or delete account

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Use our service completely anonymously without creating an account
  • Access any personal information we hold (which is minimal)
  • Request deletion of your account and associated data
  • Opt out of regional chat features
  • Request information about data processing
  • File complaints with data protection authorities

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our anonymous chat services. We will notify users of any significant changes through our platform and update the "Last updated" date.
