These are the rules for using Chatzyo. They are not long and they are not written to cover every edge case — they exist to make the platform work for everyone who uses it. Read them once. They are straightforward.
Chatzyo is an anonymous platform, and we want to keep it that way. But anonymity does not mean anything goes. The following will get you removed — permanently in most cases.
Nudity, sexual behaviour on camera, or sending explicit images is not allowed under any circumstances. This applies whether the other person appears to consent or not. If it happens, report it immediately and skip.
Targeting someone based on their language, ethnicity, religion, gender, disability or where they are from is a ban. This includes slurs, threats, and sustained targeted abuse. The Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and other Indian language rooms are spaces for community — not for people to come in and be disruptive.
Do not share phone numbers, email addresses, social media handles, or payment details in a chat session. Our system blocks most attempts automatically. Repeated attempts to get around this will result in restrictions.
Promoting or facilitating drug sales, financial fraud, or any other illegal activity through the platform. We do not record sessions, but we do act on credible reports and work with authorities when legally required.
Screen-recording or capturing another person's video without their knowledge and sharing it anywhere is a serious violation. In many countries this is also illegal. We treat it as a permanent ban.
Chatzyo is built for real conversations between real people. We have zero tolerance for anything that undermines that.
If you are running a script, a bot, or any automated tool to interact with the platform — that connection gets banned. Simple.
Using a virtual camera to play pre-recorded video instead of your live feed deceives the person on the other side. It is a violation of trust and will result in removal.
Pasting the same link into multiple conversations — whether it is for a product, a service, or anything else — is spam. Our system flags it and we act on it.
Chatzyo is not a sales platform. Do not use it to pitch products, recruit for schemes, or drive traffic to anything you are selling.
We do not monitor private conversations — that is by design. What happens between two users in a session stays between them, and we do not record or store it. But when someone reports a session, we take that seriously.
Here is what actually happens when a report comes in:
Not filtered by an algorithm and closed. A real human on our team looks at every report, with a target of within 2 hours, and decides what action to take. We log that a report happened — not the contents of the conversation.
A first violation for something like link spam might result in a temporary restriction. Explicit content, harassment, or anything involving minors results in a permanent ban immediately. We do not follow a three-strikes approach for serious violations.
When a restriction is applied, we have the report logs — not a transcript. This protects everyone's privacy, including yours. If you think you were reported unfairly, you can appeal and we will review what we actually have.
If something goes wrong in a session, here is what to do:
There is a Report button available during every live session. Press it the moment something happens — do not wait until after the session ends. This logs the session ID alongside your report, which helps us act on it.
You do not have to stay in a session that makes you uncomfortable. Skip ends it instantly and moves you to the next match. You do not owe anyone an explanation.
For anything involving a minor, explicit imagery being shared publicly, or anything you think needs immediate attention — email support@chatzyo.in. We treat these as priority reports.
Temporary restrictions — triggered by our spam filters, contact-sharing detection, or a first-time moderate violation — last anywhere from 24 hours to 30 days, depending on how serious the issue was. These expire automatically; there's nothing you need to do.
Permanent bans are applied after a report review for serious violations — explicit content, harassment, illegal activity, automated access, or anything involving a minor — and they apply at the IP address level.
If you think you were banned by mistake, contact us through the Contact page. We will look at the report logs associated with your session. We cannot see conversation content — only the reports — so come with any context you have about what happened. We are not unreasonable about appeals for genuine mistakes.
Chatzyo is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. This is not a soft recommendation — it is a hard requirement that we actively enforce.
If you encounter someone who appears to be under 18, report them immediately using the Safety category in the report tool. Do not engage with them, do not try to verify their age yourself — just report and skip.
Any user who attempts to contact minors, or any minor who bypasses the age gate, will be permanently removed. We treat this with zero tolerance, no exceptions, no appeals.
The Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam and other language rooms on Chatzyo exist for a specific purpose — to give people a space to have conversations in their own language with others who share it. These rooms are used by diaspora communities in Malaysia, Singapore, the Gulf, the UK, the USA and Australia. For a lot of people, it is genuinely the only place they can have a spontaneous conversation in their mother tongue outside of family calls.
With that in mind, a few specific rules for language rooms:
If you join the Tamil room, the expectation is Tamil conversation. It is fine to mix in English — most people do — but joining a language room just to disrupt or troll the community is a violation.
These rooms are community spaces. Behaviour that would be obviously offensive within that cultural context is held to the same standard as our general harassment rules.
If you want to learn Tamil or practise your Telugu, that is a completely valid reason to be in a language room. Most people are happy to help with that. What is not okay is entering a language room and treating it as a generic chat room with no awareness of who is there.
Temporary restrictions expire automatically — anywhere from 24 hours to 30 days depending on severity. For permanent bans, you can appeal via the Contact page. We review each appeal individually. If a ban was applied in error, we will fix it. If it was applied correctly, we will tell you that too.
We log that a report happened — the session ID, the report category, and the timestamp. We do not log the video, audio, or text from the session. This is how we can act on reports without compromising anyone's privacy.
Reports are reviewed by a person, not acted on automatically. A false report from someone who was annoyed at being skipped does not automatically get you banned. We look at the report category and the context before taking action.
Our system blocks most contact information automatically. If something slipped through, the session has already ended and that information is not stored anywhere on our side. The risk is with who you were talking to — not us. If you are concerned, contact support@chatzyo.in and we can advise.
Yes — and it works well for this. Joining the Tamil, Telugu, Hindi or another language room and telling the person you want to practise is completely fine. Most people are friendly about it. Just be upfront and respectful.
