Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how ComfiChat collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use the site, create a profile, join chat rooms, upload content, or use safety features.
Information We Collect
- Account information, such as email address and verification status. If you create an email account, your password is processed for signup and login, but ComfiChat stores a hashed credential rather than the plain password.
- Profile information, such as username, display name, age, gender, country, interests, and profile photos.
- Safety information, including reports, blocks, moderation notes, device identifiers, and related evidence. Reported messages, images, and conversation context may be collected and reviewed for moderation or investigation purposes.
- Technical information, such as IP-derived country data, device/browser information, logs, cookies, and local storage identifiers.
How We Use Information
We use information to:
- Operate chat, profiles, account verification, uploads, and login features.
- Show online users and help users choose who to chat with.
- Detect abuse, investigate reports, enforce rules, and protect users and the service.
- Maintain security, debug issues, prevent spam, and improve reliability.
- Comply with legal obligations and respond to valid legal requests.
Cookies And Local Storage
ComfiChat uses browser storage for preferences, session state, device identifiers, theme settings, hidden chats, blocked devices, and chat-related functionality. These tools help the site remember your choices and keep chat working.
Sharing Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers that help us host, store, secure, email, moderate, or operate ComfiChat. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect users, or to investigate abuse or security issues.
Messages And Public Safety
When a user submits a report or when abuse, security, or safety concerns need investigation, ComfiChat may collect and review the relevant messages, images, timestamps, user details, and surrounding conversation context. Do not share sensitive personal information with strangers.
Data Retention
We keep information for as long as needed to operate ComfiChat, maintain user safety, resolve disputes, enforce terms, comply with law, and improve the service. Some information may be deleted sooner when it is no longer needed.
Your Choices
You can update profile information, log out, clear local browser storage, block users, and submit reports. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of certain personal information.
Children And Teens
ComfiChat is not for children under 13. Users who are old enough to use the site should still avoid sharing private information and should report unsafe behavior immediately.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, but no online service can guarantee perfect security. Use a strong password and be careful about what you share in chat.
Changes To This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as ComfiChat changes. Continued use of the site after an update means the updated policy applies.
