Data on this site

Privacy notice and browser storage

Reading onlinevideocall.net requires no account, and the site collects no visitor statistics. Its code writes a single item to the browser, the ticks on a checklist, while the video chat reached from its buttons follows a privacy policy of its own.

A rules page and 18+ confirmation, then the chat window; the browser requests camera and mic.

Checklist ticks held in localStorage

The safety guide closes with a checklist whose items can be ticked individually. The browser saves those ticks in localStorage, a small storage area reserved for this site, so the same marks reappear whenever the guide is opened again. The entry records only which items are ticked; it contains no name, email address, age or location.

It has no expiry date. The ticks remain in that particular browser until the site's data is cleared in its settings. A private window discards them as soon as it closes. The door page in front of the chat creates no entry of its own, which is why it requests the age confirmation again each time.

Does the site count or profile visitors?

No. The pages contain no analytics service, hit counter or tracking pixel, and the site's own code sets no cookie at all. Without registration, forms or a mailing list, it never receives a reader's name or email address.

Any web server necessarily receives a browser's request, including its IP address, in order to deliver a page. Nothing on the site converts those requests into visitor figures or individual profiles.

What the video chat says it does with data

Opening the chat page loads the video chat window and an advertising strip from external addresses. The chat window and the payments inside it are supplied by an outside technology firm with a data-retention policy of its own, as the chat's terms state; the advertising strip follows the rules of whoever serves it. Video, sound, messages and payments therefore stay beyond the reach of the guide pages. The chat's documents, last compared with this summary, describe the following practices:

  • The user agreement says conversations may be recorded for rule enforcement, covering messages, audio and video screenshots.
  • Stills captured at random during calls stay on file for 90 days, and the IP address, browser details and a rough location are logged as well, the privacy policy states.
  • The agreement also says a photograph of the user is taken automatically at sign-up.
  • The chat rules say the face must be shown in close-up unless the account has Premium.

Requests to see or delete such material go through the chat's own privacy policy, because the guide pages hold no copy of it.

Data questions without a mailbox

The site publishes no contact address. It stores nothing that identifies a reader, so there is no personal data to release or erase on request. The checklist entry can be deleted in the browser at any moment. Accuracy is maintained by rechecking sources, not through correspondence. Every summary of the chat's documents above is compared with the documents again whenever the site's facts are refreshed. How calls themselves work is set out on a separate page.
