Privacy Policy – Telugu Chat Online

Last Updated April 2025

Welcome to the Privacy Policy of Telugu Chat Online, a platform built around the principles of secure, anonymous communication through Internet Relay Chat. As one of the most active telugu online chatting sites, we believe that user safety, data protection, and freedom of expression must go hand in hand.

This document outlines how we handle your information, even when you don’t provide any.

By using our platform, including regional chat rooms and dedicated subpages like Telugu Chat Online’s All India Chat page, you agree to the terms laid out in this policy.

1. Anonymous Use – No Registration Required

Our chat service is based on the Internet Relay Chat (IRC) model, which means no user registration is required. You are free to chat, connect, and interact without sharing your name, email, or personal details. This is intentional — we believe in anonymous social freedom.

We do not store:

  • Usernames or passwords
  • Chat histories
  • Personal identity documents
  • IP-based user profiles

2. What We Do Collect

While we don’t collect user-submitted data, some anonymous technical data is gathered for performance and security purposes:

  • Browser type and version
  • Device and operating system info
  • Approximate location (city-level only)
  • Visit duration and page navigation paths

This data helps us understand general user behavior to improve Telugu Chat Online and all associated regional subpages.

3. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to analyze non-identifiable user behavior on our website. This tool gives us insights into how users navigate telugu online chatting sites like ours — including what pages they visit, how long they stay, and what kind of device they use.

All data collected by Google Analytics is anonymized and cannot be used to personally identify you.

4. Google AdSense

Our platform serves ads via Google AdSense, which may use cookies to deliver relevant advertising based on your browser activity. These cookies do not reveal your identity and are managed entirely by Google.

You can learn more or opt out of personalized ads by visiting:
 Google Ads Settings

5. Use of Cookies

We use limited cookies for:

  • Saving user preferences (like chat theme or sound settings)
  • Managing session activity within a single visit
  • Displaying relevant regional chat links based on your region

These cookies are temporary and non-invasive.

You may disable cookies through your browser settings if you prefer, but certain features may not function properly.

6. Chat Behavior & Content

Since we operate as an Internet Relay Chat–based platform, we don’t log individual conversations. However, to protect the platform’s integrity, we do:

  • Monitor chats in real time through volunteer moderators
  • Temporarily retain flagged messages for review (not public, auto-deleted)
  • Ban abusive IPs or devices based on chatroom violations

We do not share or sell any user data to third parties.

7. Third-Party Links & Regional Pages

Our site may link to third-party services or feature embedded content (e.g., YouTube trailers, news snippets). Interacting with such content is subject to the privacy policies of those external platforms.

We also operate subpages such as:

  • The All India Chat page
  • Regional chat rooms for various Indian states
  • Event-based rooms (e.g., festival chats or trending Telugu topics)

These pages function under the same privacy principles as the main site.

8. Your Rights & Controls

Because we do not store user identities, there’s generally nothing for you to delete or download. However, you do have full control to:

  • Use the chat without ever disclosing identity
  • Leave the site anytime without logging out
  • Adjust browser or cookie settings to limit data collection
  • Avoid third-party ads via personal browser ad blockers

If you have specific questions or concerns about privacy, feel free to contact us directly at feedback@teluguchatonline.com or visit our feedback/complaints page.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted here with a clear revision date. Continued use of Telugu Chat Online and its subpages means you agree to the updated terms.

Final Note – Chat Freely, But Stay Safe

Telugu Chat Online is more than just another telugu online chatting site — it’s a space built around the core values of anonymous connection, cultural expression, and user freedom. Whether you’re on our main rooms or exploring state-based regional chatrooms, your safety and privacy remain our top priority.
