Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 7, 2026
Who We Are
2026Chat operates the website 2026chat.site, a free video chat service. This policy explains how we handle information when you use our platform.
What We Collect
We keep data collection to a minimum:
- Technical info: IP address, browser type, device type, OS version — standard stuff that every web server logs
- Usage patterns: Which pages you visit, how long you stay, general interaction data. Used for improving the service
- Camera/mic access: Granted temporarily by your browser for video chat. We do not record, store, or route video/audio through our servers when peer-to-peer connections are used
What We Don't Collect
No accounts means no personal data on file:
- No names or usernames
- No email addresses
- No phone numbers
- No payment details
- No location data beyond what an IP address reveals
Cookies
We use minimal cookies:
- Functional cookies: Keep the chat session working. Deleted when you close your browser
- Analytics cookies: Anonymous usage stats to understand traffic patterns. Not tied to individual identity
We don't run advertising cookies and don't share cookie data with ad networks.
How We Use Data
- Running and maintaining the video chat service
- Detecting and preventing abuse
- Improving platform performance
- Understanding general usage trends
Data Sharing
We don't sell personal information. Data may be shared with:
- Infrastructure providers: Hosting companies that help run our servers, with access limited to what's necessary
- Law enforcement: Only when legally required by court order or government request
Data Retention
Server logs are automatically purged after 30 days. Since there are no user accounts, there's no persistent profile data to worry about.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your data. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. For data requests, email [email protected].
Age Restriction
2026Chat is for users 18 and older. We don't knowingly process data from minors.
Updates
This policy may change. Updates will be posted here with a new date. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms.
