Privacy Policy

• No accounts, emails, or phone numbers are required to chat.
• We do not sell your personal data.
• We minimize what we collect and shorten how long we keep it.
• Where we must process something sensitive, we prefer hashed or aggregated forms.

Session data. An anonymous session identifier and rotating public handle stored on your device. These aren't tied to any account.

Device signals for safety. IP addresses and User-Agent strings are received when your browser connects, but we store only a hashed form (SHA-256 with a rotating daily salt) used for rate limiting, abuse detection, and ban enforcement. We do not retain raw IPs beyond immediate request handling.

Chat messages. Text messages transit our servers so they can reach the other participant and be shown to moderators when a chat is reported. Messages tied to an active chat are retained only for the operational window described in the Data Retention Policy.

Video/audio streams. WebRTC media is delivered peer-to-peer where possible, with a TURN relay when direct connections fail. We do not record video or audio streams.

Reports and moderation records. When a user reports another user or is subject to enforcement, we retain the report, related metadata, and moderation outcome for as long as needed to run the service safely.

Analytics. Aggregate, anonymous product analytics (screen views, event counts) with no third-party ad trackers.

Push subscriptions (optional). If you opt into browser push, we store the subscription endpoint your browser gives us so we can send you notifications for pending invitations.

• Provide the service: match you with another user, deliver messages, run video calls.
• Safety and abuse prevention: rate limits, ban enforcement, moderation reviews.
• Legal compliance: respond to lawful requests, keep audit records where required.
• Product improvement: understand aggregate usage patterns.

Specific retention windows are listed in the Data Retention Policy. In short: chat messages are retained for the operational lifetime of the chat and are not surfaced back to users after a chat ends; hashed device signals rotate daily; reports and enforcement records are kept longer to support appeals and repeat-offender detection.

We share information only with:

• Infrastructure providers that host the service (databases, hosting, TURN relays), bound by data-processing agreements.
• Trust & safety partners when required to protect users (for example, reports of child sexual abuse material are escalated to the appropriate authorities and to NCMEC).
• Law enforcement, when we receive a valid legal request — see Law Enforcement Requests.

We do not sell personal data or share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.

Your choice comes first. The Smart icebreakers panel in text chats has a "Use my recent messages" toggle that is off by default. Unless you switch it on, nothing from your conversation is sent anywhere for these features. Your choice is saved only on your device (in your browser's local storage — never on our servers), and you can change it at any time from the same panel. While it is off, suggestions can still be generated from an optional topic you type in, but the feature never reads your chat.

What gets sent. With consent on, up to six short excerpts from your current chat — plus an optional topic — are sent to generate icebreaker suggestions or a short "what we have in common" summary. Every excerpt passes our automated safety filter before it leaves, and anything unsafe is not sent; names, ages, locations and contact details are removed. Summaries are shown only to you and are not stored by us.

AI processing. These requests are handled by OpenRouter, our AI gateway, which passes them to free AI models to write the suggestions. We use free models only, and if one is unavailable another free model is used instead. Every AI response is re-checked by our safety filter before it is shown to you, and you can report any suggestion you find unsafe or inappropriate.

Retention. Your consent setting lives only on your device. We keep anonymous feedback (helpful / not helpful / report) about suggestions so we can improve them — this feedback is not linked to you or your chat partner and cannot be read from your browser. Chat excerpts used for these features are not kept as a chat history once the chat ends; see the Data Retention Policy.

We rely on a short-lived session cookie and a few localStorage keys to keep chats and preferences working. Details are in the Cookie Policy.

Depending on where you live (for example the EEA, UK, California, Brazil), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, port, or object to processing of personal data we hold about you. Because YapperWoo doesn't require accounts, we may not be able to link a request to specific historical records without additional information you provide.

To exercise these rights, contact contact@shatakinfotech.com. Where required, you can also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

YapperWoo is not for anyone under 18. See the Child Safety & Protection Policy for how we handle suspected under-age use and any content involving minors.

We may process data in countries outside your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

We'll bump the policy version at the top of this page and re-prompt for consent before your next chat when material changes affect your rights.
