4. Information Collection and Use

Privacy-First Approach: Our services are designed with privacy at their core.

For Chat Platform:

• We do not ask for or collect your name, email, phone number, or any other personal information to use the chat service.
• Chat messages are transmitted with end-to-end encryption and are never stored on our servers.
• Once you close a chat, the conversation is permanently deleted.
• We do not track your chat activity or monitor conversations.
• No chat logs or histories are maintained.

For ToolHub Express:

• All file processing occurs entirely in your browser.
• Your files are never uploaded to our servers.
• We have no access to the contents of your files.
• We maintain zero data retention regarding your files or operations performed.

5. Types of Data Collected

Technical Data

To provide our service, we collect minimal technical information:

• Browser type and version
• Device type
• IP address (temporarily, not stored long-term)
• Language preference

This data is used only to deliver the service properly to your device and is not used to identify you personally.

Cookies

We use only essential cookies to make our service work. These include:

• Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that are necessary to maintain your chat connection.
• Security Cookies: Used to prevent abuse of our platform.

We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any cookies that persist long-term to track your behavior.

6. Use of Data

Chattsphere uses the minimal collected data only for these specific purposes:

• To provide and maintain our Service
• To enable you to participate in anonymous chat sessions
• To facilitate client-side file processing through ToolHub Express
• To protect against abuse and security threats
• To monitor general usage patterns in aggregate form only (never individual usage)
• To improve our services based on anonymous usage statistics

7. Data Retention

Our retention policy is simple:

• Chat Messages: Not stored. All messages exist only in your browser during the active session.
• Files Processed via ToolHub: Never sent to or stored on our servers. All processing happens locally in your browser.
• Technical Data: Retained only for the duration of your session and for aggregate analytics (without any identifying information).
• IP Addresses: Used only for connecting you to the service and basic security measures. Not stored long-term or associated with chat content.

8. Security of Data

We prioritize the security of your data through multiple measures:

• End-to-end encryption for all chat communications
• Client-side processing for all file operations
• Regular security audits and software updates
• Implementation of industry standard security protocols
• No permanent storage of sensitive information

However, please note that while we implement strong security measures, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure. We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, but cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children's Privacy

Our Services are not intended for use by children under the age of 18 ("Child" or "Children").

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from Children under 18. If you become aware that a Child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from Children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our systems.

10. Your Rights Regarding Your Data

Because we collect minimal data and don't require personal information, your rights are inherently protected. However, you still have rights regarding any technical data we may temporarily process:

• Right to know what limited data we collect
• Right to request deletion of any technical data associated with your device
• Right to opt out of cookies (though this may affect service functionality)
• Right to report and block other users in the chat platform

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

11. Analytics

We use basic, privacy-respecting analytics to understand how our service is used in aggregate. These analytics:

• Are anonymized and do not track individual users
• Do not connect to your identity or personal information
• Only provide general usage patterns to help us improve our service
• Do not involve third-party tracking tools that would compromise your privacy

12. Links to Other Sites

Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page with an updated effective date.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.

15. California and GDPR Compliance Statement

While we don't collect personal data in traditional ways, we respect and comply with privacy regulations including GDPR (European Union), CCPA (California), and other applicable privacy laws. Since we operate with a privacy-first approach that involves minimal data collection, many of the provisions of these regulations are inherently satisfied by our service design.
