Privacy Policy

Your privacy is our top priority. This policy explains how we protect your anonymity and handle information on anonch.at.

Our Privacy Commitment

anonch.at is built with privacy by design. We believe in true anonymity and take every measure to ensure your conversations remain completely private and untraceable.

  • No registration or personal information required
  • No chat logs or message history stored
  • No tracking cookies or user analytics
  • No IP address logging or user identification
  • No data sharing with third parties

Information We Don't Collect

Unlike most online services, we specifically avoid collecting any personal information:

  • Personal Data: Names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any identifying information
  • Chat Content: Messages, files, or any communication content
  • User Behavior: Browsing patterns, chat frequency, or usage analytics
  • Device Information: Device fingerprints, browser details, or hardware specifications
  • Location Data: IP addresses, geographic location, or timezone information

How Chat Rooms Work

Our chat system is designed to be ephemeral and leave no traces:

  • Chat rooms exist only in temporary memory while active
  • Messages are deleted immediately when all users leave the room
  • No message backup or recovery system exists
  • Room names and content are automatically purged after inactivity
  • No server-side storage of any conversation data

Technical Safeguards

We implement multiple technical measures to protect your privacy:

  • Encrypted Connections: All data transmission uses HTTPS encryption
  • No Logging: Web server access logs are disabled for chat endpoints
  • Memory-Only Storage: Chat data exists only in volatile memory
  • Automatic Cleanup: Scheduled purging of any temporary data
  • Minimal Infrastructure: Reduced attack surface with minimal data retention

Cloudflare Turnstile

We use Cloudflare Turnstile for spam protection while preserving your anonymity:

  • Turnstile operates without collecting personal information
  • No permanent cookies or tracking mechanisms
  • Designed to work with privacy-focused browsing
  • Helps prevent automated abuse without compromising anonymity

Cookies and Local Storage

We minimize the use of cookies and local storage:

  • Essential cookies only for basic functionality
  • No tracking or analytics cookies
  • Session data is temporary and automatically cleared
  • No persistent storage of user preferences or history

Legal Compliance

Our privacy approach aligns with major privacy regulations:

  • GDPR Compliance: No personal data processing means no GDPR obligations
  • Data Minimization: We collect only what is absolutely necessary (nothing)
  • Right to be Forgotten: Automatic data deletion ensures this by default
  • Consent: No personal data collection means no consent requirements

Third-Party Services

We minimize third-party integrations to protect your privacy:

  • Cloudflare for DDoS protection and Turnstile (privacy-preserving)
  • No analytics services or tracking pixels
  • No social media integrations or sharing buttons
  • No advertising networks or marketing tools

Your Responsibilities

While we protect your privacy, you also play a role:

  • Don't share personal information in chats
  • Use unique room names for private conversations
  • Be cautious about sharing room links publicly
  • Consider using a VPN for additional privacy
  • Use privacy-focused browsers when possible

We believe in complete transparency about our privacy practices:

  • This policy describes our actual technical implementation
  • We have no hidden data collection or processing
  • Our privacy-first approach is not just policy, but by design
  • We regularly review our systems to ensure privacy compliance

Changes to This Policy

While our commitment to privacy remains constant, we may update this policy:

  • Changes will only strengthen privacy protections
  • Major changes will be clearly communicated
  • We will never weaken our privacy commitments
  • Updates reflect technical improvements or legal clarifications
