1. Introduction & Core Privacy Commitment
At Chathub® ("Chathub", "we", "our", or "us"), protecting visitor privacy and upholding digital anonymity are foundational principles. This Privacy Policy details the types of information processed when you access or interact with our random video and text messaging platform at eng-en-chathub.com.
Chathub is constructed upon a zero-registration, low-friction architecture. We do not ask users to create permanent social profiles, verify telephone numbers, or link personal email addresses prior to accessing our video or text matching channels.
2. WebRTC Peer-to-Peer Transmission Architecture
Our real-time video and voice streams utilize WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) standards. Under normal operation:
- Direct P2P Streaming: Audio and video data packets travel directly between matched peer devices without stored recording on central media servers.
- Ephemeral Signaling: WebSockets signaling servers broker the initial network handshake (ICE candidate exchange) and discard session parameters upon call completion or disconnection.
- No Call Recording: Chathub does not record, archive, or monetize private 1-on-1 video or audio conversations.
3. Information We Collect
Although we strive to collect minimal data, certain technical parameters are automatically processed to route video streams and prevent system abuse:
Technical & Device Metadata: IP address (hashed or processed for geo-location routing), browser user-agent, operating system, display resolution, and network connection status.
Filter Preferences: Temporary selection tags chosen by you (e.g., gender preferences, language corridor, or country filters) stored only for active queue duration.
Safety & Moderation Telemetry: Anonymized visual/text frame vectors evaluated by automated computer-vision tools to flag prohibited explicit content or harassment.
4. Local Storage & Cookies
Chathub utilizes browser LocalStorage and essential session cookies to remember client state, such as dark/light mode preference, blocked user IDs, and active channel filters. For comprehensive detail, please read our dedicated Cookie Policy.
5. Age Requirement (Strict 18+ Policy)
Chathub is strictly restricted to adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect or process information from minors under the age of 18. If we discover that a minor has gained access to the platform, we immediately break active socket connections and apply permanent IP bans.
6. User Safety & Recommended Discretion
While Chathub maintains SSL/TLS socket encryption, privacy ultimately depends on user caution during live calls. We strongly advise:
- Never share your real name, exact street address, or phone number.
- Never share financial, banking, or password credentials.
- Avoid showing identifying documents or localized surroundings on your camera.
7. Legal Contact & Privacy Requests
