Privacy Policy

Last updated: [INSERT DATE]

This template is written to match what the current TalkyHunt code actually collects and stores, based on its source. It is not legal advice, and it does not by itself make you compliant with GDPR, CCPA, or other privacy laws — a lawyer should confirm what applies to you based on where your users are, and you must keep this page in sync any time you change what data the app collects.

1. Information we collect

Category	What we collect	Source
Account info	Name, email, profile picture	Google / Facebook / Instagram sign-in
Profile info	Gender, country, language, "nearby matching" preference	Entered by you in the app
Approximate location	Latitude/longitude you share for "nearby" matching, and a coarse location derived from your IP address used once to sanity-check it	Your device (only if you enable nearby matching); your IP at request time
Conversations	Direct messages (text and any images you send), matched-session metadata (who you were paired with, timestamps, countries)	Generated by using the app
Reports & moderation	Reports you file, reports filed against you, and automated safety flags from on-device video analysis (see Section 3)	Generated by using the app
Payment status	Whether you have an active subscription and which tier; a Stripe customer reference	Stripe (we do not receive or store your card number)
Device/technical	A locally-generated device identifier and IP address, used only for spam/abuse rate-limiting	Your browser

2. What we do not collect

We do not record, store, or have access to your live video or audio during a call. Video/audio is transmitted directly between you and your match (peer-to-peer where possible) and is not saved by TalkyHunt.
We never see full payment card numbers — those are handled entirely by Stripe.

3. On-device video safety scanning

While you're in a video call, your own browser runs an on-device nudity-detection model (nsfwjs) against your local video feed. No video frame is ever uploaded anywhere — only a confidence score. If that score indicates likely nudity, your device automatically ends the call and reports a moderation flag (score only, no image) to our server, which may lead to a restriction on the other user's account and a system-generated report visible to moderators.

4. How we use your information

To operate core features: matching you with other users, delivering messages and notifications, and remembering your preferences;
To keep the platform safe: reviewing reports, applying bans/restrictions, and detecting abuse or bot activity;
To provide premium features and process subscription payments;
To respond to support requests sent to support@talkyhunt.com.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your conversations for advertising.

5. How long we keep it

Direct messages are kept indefinitely unless you delete your account. Match history, notifications, and reports are kept for moderation and safety purposes. If you delete your account, we remove your user record, your follow relationships, and your direct messages; reports and moderation history involving your account may be retained where needed for platform safety and legal compliance.

6. Who we share it with

Other users: your name, picture, gender, and country (if set) are visible to users you're matched or messaging with. Messages you send are visible to their recipient.
Stripe: processes subscription payments on our behalf.
Google / Facebook / Instagram: used only to authenticate you when you choose to sign in with them.
We may disclose information if required by law, or to protect the safety of users or the public.

7. Cookies and local storage

TalkyHunt uses your browser's local storage (not third-party ad-tracking cookies) to keep you signed in and to remember preferences like your selected gender option and language. See our Cookie Policy for details.

8. Your choices and rights

You can block or report any user directly in the app.
You can delete your account at any time from account settings — this is immediate and permanent.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights to access, correct, or export your data. Contact support@talkyhunt.com to make a request. [INSERT: your process/timeline for handling these requests, and any regional-specific language required for GDPR/CCPA/etc. if applicable to your users.]

9. Age requirement

TalkyHunt is intended for users 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced in-app before they take effect.
