Our Commitment to Your Privacy
Austin Talk ("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 Austin Talk, 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
Data Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We may share non-personal, aggregated data with third parties for analytics or advertising purposes. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users.
Data Retention
Chat logs are not stored permanently. Usage data is retained in aggregated, anonymized form for as long as needed to provide insights and improve the platform. You may request deletion of any personal data you've voluntarily provided by contacting us.
Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy
Austin Talk is not intended for users under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware that we have collected data from a minor, we will delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date will reflect changes. Continued use of the Service after modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
