Privacy Policy

Draft — not yet in force. This document contains placeholders and must be completed and reviewed by qualified legal counsel before production use.

This Privacy Policy explains what information [LEGAL_ENTITY_NAME] ("we", "us") collects when you use the FlashMatchCam website, why we collect it, and the choices you have. It is effective as of [EFFECTIVE_DATE].

Information We Collect

When you submit the contact form, we receive the details you type in: your name, email address, the topic you selected and the text of your message. We use this information only to read, route and answer your request.

Like most websites, our servers also record technical data when you visit a page. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, device and operating system information, the pages you viewed, and timestamps. These server logs help us keep the site running, diagnose problems and detect abuse.

We do not ask you to create an account on this website, and we do not collect payment information here.

Cookies

We use a small number of cookies and similar browser storage. Some are necessary for the site to work, such as remembering that you confirmed you are over 18 so we do not ask on every visit.

Analytics cookies, described in the next section, help us understand how visitors use the site. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; the site remains usable without them, though you may see the age confirmation again.

Analytics Tools

This website can use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Microsoft Clarity to measure traffic and understand how pages are used. Each tool is only enabled when its measurement ID has been configured for this site; if no ID is configured, the corresponding tool does not load and sends no data.

When enabled, GA4 collects aggregated usage data such as page views, approximate location derived from IP, and device category. Microsoft Clarity records anonymized interaction data such as scrolling and clicking patterns. Both providers process this data under their own privacy terms, and we see it only in aggregated or anonymized form.

Data shared with our analytics and infrastructure providers is limited to what those services need to function. Our current processors are: [DATA_PROCESSORS].

Camera and Microphone

The pages of this website do not access, process or transmit your camera or microphone streams. No video or audio from your device passes through our servers.

Actual video chat takes place on the connected matching service that our buttons and links lead to. Any camera and microphone access, and any processing of video or audio data, happens on that service and is governed by its own privacy policy. We encourage you to read it before starting a chat.

When You Leave This Website

Buttons such as "Start Random Chat" take you to a connected matching service operated separately from this website. Once you leave our pages, this Privacy Policy no longer applies.

The operator of the connected service is responsible for the data it collects, including account details, chat activity and video streams. Its own privacy policy governs that processing, and we recommend reviewing it before you sign up or start matching.

How Long We Keep Data

Contact form submissions and the correspondence that follows are kept for [DATA_RETENTION_PERIOD], after which they are deleted unless we are legally required to keep them longer.

Server logs are rotated on a regular schedule and older entries are removed automatically. Aggregated analytics data is retained according to the settings of the analytics tools described above.

Your Requests and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal data we hold about you, to receive a copy of it, to correct it, or to have it deleted.

To make a request, email [CONTACT_EMAIL] or use the contact form and choose the "Privacy request" topic. We may ask you to verify your identity before acting on a request, and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

Minors

FlashMatchCam is intended only for adults aged 18 or older. This website is not directed at minors, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18.

If you believe a minor has submitted personal data through this website, contact us at [CONTACT_EMAIL] and we will delete it promptly.

International Data Transfers

The servers and service providers we rely on may be located in countries other than your own. When your data is transferred across borders, we take steps to ensure it receives an adequate level of protection, such as relying on providers that offer recognized transfer safeguards.

Where the law of [JURISDICTION] or of your place of residence imposes specific transfer requirements, we follow them.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example when we add features or when the law changes. The effective date at the top of the page will always reflect the latest revision.

Material changes will be highlighted on this page for a reasonable period. Continuing to use the website after a revision takes effect means the updated policy applies to you.

Contact

Questions about this Privacy Policy or about how your data is handled can be sent to [LEGAL_ENTITY_NAME] at [CONTACT_EMAIL], or through the contact form.
