1. Introduction

Welcome to DostiHub.com ("DostiHub", "we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and providing a safe online environment. Our core principle is user anonymity. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information on our platform, emphasizing our no-registration model.

2. Information We Collect

Due to our no-registration policy, we collect very limited information:

• Non-Personal Information: We automatically collect certain non-personal information when you visit our site, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the pages you visit. This information is used for analytical purposes, to improve our service, and for security measures like preventing spam and abuse.
• Chat Content: Chat messages are transmitted through our servers but are not permanently stored or logged. We do not read or analyze the content of your private conversations. Public chat logs are temporary and are cleared periodically to maintain privacy.

3. What We DO NOT Collect

We believe in minimal data collection. We explicitly DO NOT collect:

• Your real name
• Your email address
• Your phone number
• Your physical address
• Any other personally identifiable information (PII) unless you voluntarily and unwisely disclose it in a public chat.

We strongly advise all users to never share personal information in any chat room.

4. How We Use Information

The limited information we collect is used for the following purposes:

• To Operate and Maintain the Service: To ensure the chat servers are functioning correctly and to manage traffic.
• For Security and Moderation: To identify and block users who violate our chat rules, such as spammers or individuals engaging in harassment. IP addresses may be used for this purpose.
• For Analytics: To understand how users interact with our site (e.g., which chat rooms are most popular) so we can improve the user experience. This data is aggregated and anonymized.

5. Cookies

We may use cookies to enhance your experience. Cookies are small files stored on your computer that help us remember certain preferences (like your chosen nickname or theme settings) and understand site usage. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but this may affect the functionality of the site.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we handle from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access. However, no internet transmission is ever 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children's Privacy

Our service is strictly for users aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect any information from individuals under the age of 18. If we become aware that a minor is using our service, we will take immediate steps to block their access.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
