Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Your privacy is important to us at SubiChat. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your technical and personal information when you use our stranger chat platform. By accessing our website, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

To provide a secure and functional chat experience, we gather certain information automatically:

• Personal-Identifying Information: If you choose to register for a permanent account, we may collect basic details like your username and email address.
• Automatic & Log Data: We automatically receive information from your browser or device. This includes your IP address, Internet Service Provider (ISP), browser type, operating system, and the time/date of your visit.
• Device Fingerprinting: We utilize secure device fingerprinting logic to assign a unique, anonymous hash to your hardware. This helps us detect duplicate accounts and prevent platform abuse.

3. Data Retention & Deletion Policy

SubiChat operates primarily as a temporary, anonymous communication platform. We strictly adhere to the following data retention schedules:

• Active Chat Sessions: All text conversations are retained on our active public servers for a maximum of 1 hour before being permanently purged from the chat interface.
• Guest Accounts & Media: Temporary guest accounts, along with any images, GIFs, or media shared during sessions, are stored on our servers for exactly 7 days from the date of creation before automatic deletion.
• Security & Legal Logs: In compliance with Indian IT Rules (2021) and CERT-In guidelines, hidden backend security metadata (such as IP addresses, device fingerprints, and connection timestamps) are securely archived for a minimum of 180 days. This data is kept strictly for law enforcement and cybercrime investigation purposes.

4. Legally Required Releases of Information

Conversations within our platform are secured, and we do not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes. However, we may be legally required to disclose your technical data or Personally Identifiable Information if such disclosure is:

• Required by subpoena, law, or other legal process.
• Necessary to assist law enforcement officials or government enforcement agencies (such as cyber police).
• Necessary to investigate violations of our Terms and Conditions, including the sharing of illegal or non-consensual explicit content.
• Necessary to protect the legal rights, property, or safety of SubiChat, our users, and affiliates.

5. Cookies & Advertisements

We may use cookies to enhance your browsing experience and gather non-personal information for analytics. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings.

6. Links To External Sites

Our platform may contain links to external sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

7. Security

The security of your information is highly important to us. We use commercially acceptable encryption and moderation tools to maintain a safe environment. However, remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
