Privacy Policy
Chat42 helps you meet people through free 1‑on‑1 video chats. The live chat features themselves are powered by trusted third‑party providers, while this website focuses on fast loading, clear information, and navigation. This policy explains what information we collect on this website, how the third‑party chat providers may process your data to run calls, and the choices you have.
What We Collect on This Website
When you browse chat42.org, we aim to keep data collection minimal. We do not use invasive analytics or tracking pixels here. Our site may temporarily log standard technical information that your browser sends automatically (such as IP address, user‑agent, basic request logs) to secure the site and diagnose issues. If you submit a message on our Contact page, we’ll receive the details you type so we can respond.
Third‑Party Providers and Live Video
When you launch a chat via the dashboards, you interact directly with the third‑party provider that runs the live video service (for example Coomeet or FTF Live). That provider may process camera and microphone input, approximate location based on network signals, connection quality metrics, and other technical data needed to establish and maintain calls. They may also apply automated moderation such as abuse filtering. These activities are covered by the provider’s own terms and privacy policies, which we encourage you to review before using the chat.
Cookies and Local Storage
This website uses only essential cookies or local storage where needed for basic functionality (for example, remembering interface preferences). Third‑party providers may set their own cookies or similar identifiers inside their embedded experiences to make calls work and to prevent fraud. You can manage cookies in your browser settings; blocking all cookies may reduce functionality.
Your Choices
- Permissions: You can deny camera or microphone access in your browser at any time. Without access, video calling will not function.
- End a call: You can leave any call instantly. If available, use report/block tools to flag violations.
- Opt‑out of non‑essential cookies: Adjust browser settings or use private browsing modes to limit storage.
- Access and deletion: For data processed by third‑party providers during calls, contact that provider directly using details in their policies.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to help protect the information we handle on this website from loss, theft, and misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. For call content and related data, our providers maintain their own security controls.
Children’s Privacy
Chat42 is intended for use by individuals who have reached the age of legal consent for online services in their jurisdiction. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor has provided personal information on our site, please contact us so we can address it.
