This Privacy Policy explains how ChatPic (“we”, “our”, or “us”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website and services. By using ChatPic, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide
When you upload an image, we temporarily store the image and the settings you choose, such as expiration time and view limits.
Automatically Collected Information
We may automatically collect limited technical information when you use ChatPic, including:
- IP address
- Browser type and device information
- Access timestamps
This information is used solely for security, abuse prevention, and service performance.
How We Use Information
We use collected information to:
- Provide and operate the image sharing service
- Enforce expiration and view limits
- Prevent abuse, fraud, or unauthorized access
- Improve performance and reliability
Image Storage and Retention
Uploaded images are stored only for the duration selected by the user or until the maximum view limit is reached. Once an image expires or reaches its view limit, it is automatically deleted from our servers.
We do not permanently store images beyond their intended lifespan.
Cookies
ChatPic may use essential cookies required for basic functionality and security. We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.
Third-Party Services
We do not sell, rent, or trade user data. Limited third-party services may be used strictly for infrastructure, security, or analytics purposes. These services are required to protect user data and comply with applicable privacy laws.
Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children’s Privacy
ChatPic is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact us for removal.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access or request deletion. Since images are automatically deleted after expiration, most data is short-lived by design.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
