Privacy

Personal Data

You can chat on Meetgle without an account, and we do not ask for your name. An account is optional: it asks for a username and a password, and an email address only if you choose to add one. Our goal is to provide an anonymous and secure platform for users to connect.

Cookies

We use cookies occasionally to remember certain user preferences and improve your experience on our platform. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help us with functional purposes. You may disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer not to use them.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to track general usage patterns on the website, such as traffic and user activity, to improve our services. Google Analytics may collect anonymized data such as your IP address or device information. This data is used only for analytics purposes and helps us enhance your user experience. For more details on how Google Analytics collects and processes data, visit Google’s Privacy Policy.

No Data Sharing

We do not share, sell, or transfer any user data to third parties. Your privacy is respected, and we use the data collected (such as anonymized data through Google Analytics) only for internal purposes to optimize our platform.

Security

All communications and data within Meetgle are encrypted to ensure that your interactions remain private and secure. Although we store very little personal data, we take the security of our platform seriously and employ encryption to safeguard all user activities.

Advertising

Meetgle is free because partners pay to show their ads on the site, for example next to the chat. When you click an ad, you leave Meetgle for the partner’s site, and that site’s own privacy policy applies there; we only tell the partner that the visit came from Meetgle. We do not sell your data to advertisers.

Deleting Your Data

Without an account, Meetgle keeps no profile about you that could be deleted. If you created an account, you can delete it at any time on the Account page; your karma and filters are deleted with it. For any other request about your data, use our contact page.

Video Chat: Connection and Moderation

Video and audio in the chat travel with WebRTC directly between devices (peer-to-peer) where the network allows it; otherwise the connection runs through a relay server. Streams are encrypted in transit. With a direct connection, your chat partner may be able to see your IP address. Your chat partner can record or screenshot their own screen; we cannot detect or prevent this.

We do not record video or audio of your chats. To detect and prevent child sexual abuse material, we may automatically take occasional still images from your own camera while you use the video chat. Only our moderators can see them, and they are deleted after 24 hours, unless they are needed as evidence of illegal content, in which case we keep them and may report them to the authorities.

To enforce bans, your browser keeps a random ID, in its storage and in a cookie on this site. When you start a chat, it also sends a few plain facts about your device: the screen size, the graphics chip, the number of processor cores, the time zone, the languages and, where the browser shares it, the phone model. We keep only a fingerprint of them (a hash calculated with a secret key), never the facts themselves. When someone is banned, the fingerprints of their device are kept for 90 days, and a new account or browser on a device with the same fingerprint may have to wait for a moderator before it can chat. The fingerprints your browser used are deleted after 30 days.

Notifications, reminders, photos and return visits: you can turn on browser notifications with or without an account. We then keep your browser's notification subscription with your account or your browser's random ID, the time zone and country it was turned on from and the language of the page, to remind you before your streak ends, when your day pass is about to run out, and a few days after your last visit, with how many people are online. With an account and a verified email address that you have not switched off, that last reminder may come by email instead; every such email has a link to stop them. Turning notifications off in the chat or in your browser deletes the subscription; an unused one is deleted after 180 days. With an account you can add a profile photo: it is checked before anyone sees it, shown with your username and, unless you switch it off, to the people you chat with; a removed or rejected photo is deleted within 7 days. Likes are kept for 30 days. To see whether people come back, we count the days on which your browser opens the chat, the first page of this site it opened and how many sponsored links it clicked, under a hashed form of its random ID; this is forgotten 90 days after your last visit.

Chat again and friends: when you and your chat partner both like a chat and choose Chat again, we keep for 7 days that your two browsers (or accounts) may be offered to each other, with each side’s country and age as the other is shown them. With an account, your friends see when you are online (you can turn this off), the time of day you usually chat, and can wave at you or plan a chat with you. If you turn on notifications, we keep your browser’s notification subscription to send them; when a notification cannot reach you, we may send at most one email a day to your verified address, which you can turn off in your friends list. Waves are deleted after 30 days, plans 90 days after their time, and all of it when you delete your account.

We use Cloudflare for hosting, for matching you with chat partners and, when a relay is needed, for the video connection. Google Analytics measures how the site is used.

Age Restriction

Our services are intended for users aged 18 and above. By using Meetgle, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly provide our services to minors under 18 years of age.
