At Omingle, we believe in privacy by design. We do not require accounts, passwords, email addresses, or phone numbers to use our service. We collect only the minimum data necessary to operate, moderate, and secure the platform.

Data Minimization PrincipleWe do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We do not use third-party marketing trackers or ad-retargeting pixels. Conversations are peer-to-peer and anonymous.

1. Information We Collect

When you use Omingle, we collect only the technical identifiers required to deliver live connections and enforce community safety:

Anonymous Session Identifier: A randomly generated cryptographic UUID stored locally in your browser to maintain your active session without requiring an account.
Salted Hashed IP & Device Telemetry: To detect ban evaders, spammers, and coordinated bot networks, our backend processes a one-way hashed digest of your IP address and device characteristics. We do not maintain raw plaintext IP browsing logs.
Coarse Geolocation & Language: High-level country code and preferred browser language derived from connection headers, used exclusively for smart matching and country filters.
Ephemeral Text Messages: Chat text messages are screened for policy violations and delivered in real time. All message records are automatically and permanently deleted from our database within 7 days.
Moderation Evidence: If you or your chat partner submits a Report or triggers an automated safety alert, an encrypted snapshot consisting of the last few chat lines (and, in video mode, a single video frame of the violator) is retained strictly for safety review. Unflagged video feeds are never recorded or stored.

2. Peer-to-Peer Video & Audio Streams

Video and voice communication on Omingle is conducted using WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) peer-to-peer technology.

Your video and audio streams travel directly between your browser and your partner's browser.
Omingle servers act only as a signaling intermediary to establish the initial peer handshake. We do not record, intercept, or store your live audio or video conversations.
To uphold our 18+ safety and anti-nudity standards, periodic video frames are checked by automated, privacy-compliant AI moderation endpoints. Frames that pass review are discarded immediately from memory.

3. Third-Party Service Providers

We work with vetted service providers who adhere to strict data security standards:

Supabase: Encrypted database infrastructure and real-time WebRTC signaling channels.
AI Safety Endpoints (OpenAI Moderation): Used exclusively to evaluate message text and flagged imagery for toxic content and nudity. Data submitted to moderation endpoints is not used to train machine learning models.
Cloud Hosting & STUN/TURN Relays: Secure cloud infrastructure to route encrypted peer-to-peer network packets when direct NAT traversal is restricted by firewalls.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

Omingle does not use advertising or third-party profiling cookies. We use browser Local Storage exclusively for essential functional purposes:

Preserving your anonymous visitor session token.
Remembering your matching preferences (e.g., Smart Match, selected language).
Storing age-gate confirmation so you do not have to reconfirm every minute.

5. Data Retention & Erasure

Clearing Your Data: You can wipe your anonymous identifier at any moment by clearing your browser cookies and site storage for Omingle.
Automatic Expiration: Anonymous visitor profiles with no activity for 30 consecutive days are automatically purged from our database, except where retention is required for active bans or abuse investigations.

6. Law Enforcement & Legal Compliance

We cooperate with official law enforcement agencies and statutory bodies when required by applicable law, court order, or valid legal process. In cases involving imminent danger to life, serious threats of violence, or Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), we proactively report relevant technical evidence to appropriate authorities, including NCMEC and cybercrime units.
