Privacy Policy
At Self2Chat, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and handle your data when you use our service.
Data We Collect
Self2Chat is designed with privacy in mind. We collect very minimal information:
- Chat content: Messages and files you share are temporarily stored to facilitate the chat functionality.
- Technical information: Basic device information and IP address for security and service functionality.
- Usage data: Anonymous analytics about how the service is used (frequency, features used, etc.).
We do not collect personal identifiers such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers as our service doesn't require an account.
Data Retention
Your privacy is enhanced by our short retention periods:
- All chat content (messages and files) is automatically deleted after the chat expires.
- Content is stored only in temporary memory and isn't preserved in long-term storage.
- We do not archive or back up chat conversations.
How We Use Your Data
The limited data we collect is used exclusively for:
- Providing and maintaining the Self2Chat service
- Improving and optimizing the service's performance
- Ensuring security and preventing abuse
- Complying with legal obligations, if required
Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your data to third parties. We may share limited data in the following circumstances:

Security Measures
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your data:
- Industry-standard encryption for data in transit

- Access controls and limitations
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
