Room21 is designed with privacy as a core principle. This policy explains how we handle data in our anonymous chat application.

• No Personal Information: We do not collect, store, or process any personal information, email addresses, or user accounts.
• Anonymous Usage: Users are completely anonymous - no registration or identification required.
• Local Storage Only: Chat messages are stored locally in your browser and are not transmitted to or stored on our servers permanently.
• No Tracking: We do not use cookies, analytics, or tracking technologies.

• Real-time Communication: Messages are temporarily processed in server memory only for real-time transmission to other users.
• No Persistence: Server-side message data is not stored permanently and is cleared when the server restarts.
• No Data Sharing: We do not share, sell, or distribute any data to third parties.

• Connection Data: Only temporary connection information (WebSocket connections) is maintained for real-time functionality.
• No Logs: We do not maintain logs of user activities, messages, or connections.
• HTTPS/WSS: All communications are encrypted in transit.

• Complete Control: Users have complete control over their local data through browser settings.
• Data Deletion: Clear your browser's local storage to remove all chat history.
• Anonymous by Design: No account deletion needed as no accounts exist.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted here with an updated revision date.

This is an open-source project. For questions about privacy, please refer to the project's GitHub repository.

This privacy policy applies only to the original Room21 application. Third-party modifications or forks may have different privacy practices.
