Privacy & Data Protection

Plain-language explanations of how Chatzyo actually handles data — what's collected, what isn't, and the honest tradeoffs behind a platform built without accounts.

The short version: no account, no chat history stored, video never reaches our servers. The only thing kept for any length of time is a basic security log — IP address, for up to 30 days — used purely for abuse prevention.

Why Chatzyo Collects Almost Nothing

No login, no profile, no friends list — the reasoning behind it, and the real tradeoffs.

Does Chatzyo Store Chat History?
