Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 5, 2026

1. Information We Collect

When you use RandoConnect, we collect:

• Google Account Info: Your display name, email address, and profile photo (via Google OAuth)
• Usage Data: Connection timestamps, session duration, and chat activity
• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and device information

2. How We Use Your Information

• To authenticate your identity and manage your account
• To match you with other users for video chat
• To improve our service and user experience
• To enforce our Terms of Service and community guidelines

3. Video and Audio Data

Video and audio streams are transmitted peer-to-peer using WebRTC. RandoConnect servers only relay signaling data (connection metadata) — we do not record, store, or access your video or audio content.

4. Chat Messages

Text messages are relayed in real-time between users and are not stored on our servers. Chat history is maintained only in your browser's memory during the session.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties, except as required by law or by Google OAuth service.

6. Data Retention

Your account information is retained until you request deletion. Session and usage data is automatically cleared when the server restarts. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized.

7. Cookies

We use session cookies to maintain your login state. These cookies are secure, HTTP-only, and expire after 7 days of inactivity. We do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your personal data
• Request deletion of your account and data
• Withdraw consent for data processing
• Opt out of analytics tracking (see below)

9. Analytics and Tracking

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics collects anonymized information such as:

• Pages visited and time spent
• Browser type and device information
• General location (city/country level)

You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

10. Google OAuth

We use Google OAuth for authentication. Google collects and processes your data according to their Privacy Policy. We only receive your basic profile information (name, email, profile photo) as authorized by you.

11. Security

We implement security measures to protect your information:

• HTTPS encryption for all data transmission
• Secure HTTP-only session cookies
• Rate limiting to prevent abuse
• SQL injection protection using parameterized queries
• XSS protection headers

12. Children's Privacy

RandoConnect is not intended for users under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has used our service, please contact us.

13. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Google OAuth for authentication
• Google Analytics for website analytics
• Socket.IO for real-time communication
• OpenRelay TURN servers for WebRTC NAT traversal

These services have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them.

14. Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify users of any significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date and encourage you to review this page periodically.
