Privacy Policy
Last Updated: June 18, 2026
1. Introduction
Uhmegle respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, process, and safeguard your data when you visit our website or use our random chat services. By accessing Uhmegle, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.
2. Information We Collect
We believe in minimizing data collection. Because Uhmegle is designed for anonymous interaction, we do not require you to create an account or provide your name, email, or telephone number. However, technical data is required to facilitate P2P connections:
- Device/Connection Data: IP addresses, browser type, device type, and operating system.
- Usage Data: Timestamps, connection duration, and interactions with platform features.
- Cookie Data: We use cookies to maintain your session state and settings (like theme preferences).
3. How We Use Your Data
We use the limited data we collect exclusively to:
- Establish and maintain the peer-to-peer (P2P) connections required for video/text chat.
- Improve our platform's security and prevent abuse, spam, or malicious automated activity.
- Operate and improve our infrastructure to ensure fast, reliable connectivity.
- Comply with legal obligations, including responding to valid law enforcement requests.
4. Data Retention and Safety
Uhmegle operates primarily as a transient, P2P service. Your video and audio streams travel directly between users; they are not routed through our servers, meaning we do not capture, record, or store the contents of your conversations. Any text logs flagged for moderation purposes are purged from our systems as quickly as reasonably possible after review.
5. Third-Party Services
Our platform may include third-party services, such as analytical tools or advertising partners. These third parties may collect information via cookies. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings or by utilizing opt-out mechanisms provided by these services.
6. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights under laws such as GDPR, CCPA, or others, including the right to access, delete, or limit the processing of your data. Since we do not track personal profiles, our ability to identify your specific data is limited, but we are committed to assisting you where feasible.
