Privacy policy

What we store

• For each room: the room address, when it was created, when it ends, how long it was set to last, whether it has a password, and a hash of an access token. We do not store the key or the password.
• Encrypted messages and the encrypted room name, until the room ends. We cannot read them.
• Technical details of each message: a connection number, the time received and the padded size.
• If you report a room: the message text you choose to share, and the email address if you give one, for up to 6 months.

What we do not store

• Your messages in readable form, the room key, passwords, or nicknames.
• IP addresses in our logs. Request logging is switched off.
• Accounts, phone numbers or email addresses of room members.

Cookies and analytics

Room pages use no cookies and no third-party scripts. Your browser stores a few small settings locally (your nickname, a device id and the key for rooms you created) so the site can remember you; they never leave your device. On our public pages we count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which does not use cookies or track individuals. We also keep anonymous counters of rooms created, without any link to people.

Who processes data for us

Cloudflare, Inc. hosts the service and delivers traffic. Rooms are stored in its EU jurisdiction. Cloudflare processes IP addresses to deliver pages and to protect the service. If we offer paid features, Stripe will process payments.

How long we keep things

• Rooms and messages: until the room ends (1 to 36 hours after the first person joins, or 7 days if nobody joins), or earlier if deleted.
• Reports: up to 6 months.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask what we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, and complain to the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens). Because we cannot tell who is who in a room, we may need the room address to find anything. Write to privacy@tempchat.cool.

Age
