Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 12, 2026

In short

No account. We never ask for your name, email, phone number or password.
Other people only see what you choose to show: your nickname, age, gender and, if you give it, your location. Never your IP address.
Your conversations disappear from your screen when you log out or after 15 minutes away.
Nothing is kept forever on the server: messages and logs are kept for 6 months for moderation, then deleted automatically.
No ads, no audience measurement, no trackers. Your data is never sold or shared for commercial purposes.

1. Who is responsible for your data?

Website: justchat.site

Email: contact@justchat.site

Country: Switzerland

Your data is processed under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, for people located in the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

2. What we never ask for

JustChat works without registration. You never have to provide a name, email address, phone number, password, photo or payment method. Your nickname is your only identity on the chat, and it becomes available again when your session ends.

3. What other users can see about you

Your session profile: nickname, age, gender, and your location if you entered one.
Your messages in a room: the people present, and those who join the room within the next 24 hours.
Your private messages: only the person you are writing to.

Your IP address is never shown to other users.

4. What is stored on our server

Data	Why	Retention
Session profile (nickname, age, gender, location)	Running the chat, moderation	6 months after the session ends, then deleted automatically
Messages (rooms and private messages)	Handling reports and abuse	6 months, then deleted automatically
IP address	Security, spam prevention, enforcing bans	6 months, then deleted automatically
Connection log (arrivals, departures, rooms joined)	Security, moderation	6 months, then deleted automatically
Reports	Review by moderation	6 months, then deleted automatically
Bans (nickname, IP address, reason)	Preventing a banned person from coming back	For the whole duration of the ban, then 1 year after it ends. A permanent ban is kept as long as it applies.
Session cookie	Reconnecting you after a page reload	7 days at most

Database backups are made to prevent data loss. They are deleted after 8 weeks at most.

5. Who can read your messages?

Other users: people in the room for a room message, the person you write to for a private message.
Moderation: only the JustChat administrator can access stored messages, through a moderation tool that is not reachable from the Internet. They are read to handle a report, investigate abuse, or answer a request from a judicial authority.

Traffic between your device and the server is encrypted (HTTPS).

6. Why we process this data (legal basis)

Providing the service: running the real-time chat.
Legitimate interest: security, moderation, preventing spam, harassment and scams.
Legal obligations: answering a request from a judicial authority.

7. What stays on your device

For the chat to work, a few things are kept in your browser (session cookie and local storage):

your nickname and a reconnection key, to resume your session if you reload the page. They are deleted when you log out;
the list of your ongoing private conversations;
your form choices (gender, age, region), to pre-fill it next time;
your display preferences (theme, sound).

You can delete all of it at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser settings.

No advertising cookies, no audience measurement, no trackers.

8. Service providers

Infomaniak (Switzerland): hosting. The server and the database are in Switzerland, and the database is not reachable from the Internet.
Cloudflare Turnstile: anti-bot check when you enter the chat. Cloudflare receives your IP address and technical information about your browser to tell a human from a bot. Cloudflare is a US company.

We never sell, rent or trade your data. It is not passed on to anyone else, except a judicial authority that requests it within a legal framework.

9. Security

Encrypted connections (HTTPS) across the whole site.
Database hosted in Switzerland and closed to the Internet.
Moderation tool only reachable through an encrypted connection reserved for the administrator.
Anti-bot check, message rate limits and a link filter against spam and scams.

10. Your rights

You can ask to access your data, have it corrected or deleted, or object to its processing.

To exercise these rights: write to contact@justchat.site.

Since there are no accounts, tell us the nickname you used and the date of your visit: that is how we can find your data.

A deletion request may be refused while the data is needed to handle a report, enforce an ongoing ban or for legal proceedings.

11. Minors

JustChat is for people aged 18 and over. If we learn that a minor has used the chat, their data is deleted.

12. Changes to this policy

This policy may change as the service evolves. The date of the last update is shown at the top of the page.

13. Complaints

If you believe your rights are not respected, you can contact:

Switzerland: Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), www.edoeb.admin.ch

European Union: the data protection authority of your country (in France, the CNIL: www.cnil.fr)
