We are committed to protecting the privacy of users on TalkCity.com. This policy applies where we act as a data controller with respect to personal data; in other words, where we determine how and why that data is processed.

Durch die Nutzung unseres Dienstes stimmen Sie der Erfassung und Übermittlung personenbezogener Daten gemäß dieser Richtlinie zu.

About Our Service

TalkCity.com is a free random video chat platform operated on our own software. The service is 100% free to use: there are no subscriptions, purchases, or payments of any kind on TalkCity.com, and we therefore do not collect or process any payment or billing information. You can use Talk City without creating an account, and we do not require your name, email address, or any profile information to chat.

Offenlegung von Affiliate-Partnerschaften

TalkCity.com may reference, review, or link to third-party platforms and services, and we may earn commissions when users click on affiliate links or sign up for third-party services through our recommendations. Your use of third-party platforms is subject to their own privacy policies and terms of service. TalkCity.com is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any external websites or services linked from our platform.

Verwendung Ihrer personenbezogenen Daten

We may process information about how you use our service (“usage data”), including your IP address, approximate location (country/state), browser type and version, operating system, referral source, time spent on pages, and patterns of use. This helps us analyze, improve, and secure the service.

We may process information about your device and environment (“client data”), including IP address, browser, operating system, and hardware setup, to maintain service stability and connect you with other users.

We may process log data automatically collected by your browser when visiting Talk City (“log data”), such as IP address, browser type, visited pages, and visit times. This data is used for analysis and improving service performance.

We may process chat messages you send through our service (“message data”) solely for enabling communication and monitoring compliance with our guidelines.

We may process information about your interactions with other users (“communication data”), including timing and frequency, to improve service administration.

We may process ban-related information (“ban data”) in cases of policy violations. This may include elements of client and usage data, plus an image frame from your video source if you are reported or flagged for inappropriate behavior.

We may process complaint-related information (“complaint data”) if other users submit complaints against you. This may include an image frame from your video source to support the complaint.

We may process data contained in any enquiry or message you send to us (“correspondence data”), including through our contact form, for responding to you and for record-keeping and administration purposes.

If you choose to subscribe to updates or a newsletter, we may process your email address (“notification data”) to send you those communications. You can unsubscribe at any time.

We may process personal data where necessary for legal claims, compliance with legal obligations, or protecting vital interests.

Weitergabe Ihrer personenbezogenen Daten an Dritte

We may disclose personal data to legal advisers or professional consultants when necessary for risk management, legal claims, or compliance.

Peer-to-peer communication on Talk City may require disclosure of your IP address to another user’s device as part of how real-time video chat connections function, though it is not displayed in the interface.

We do not sell your personal data, and because Talk City has no payment functionality, no payment or transaction data is ever collected or shared.

Internationale Datenübermittlungen

Talk City servers are hosted in the European Union and the United States. Because users are located worldwide, personal data may be transferred across borders. We strive to safeguard data appropriately, but local privacy laws in your country may differ.

By using Talk City, you acknowledge that content you choose to share with other users may be accessible worldwide.

Datenspeicherung und -löschung

We do not retain data longer than necessary. Because Talk City does not use permanent accounts, there is no stored profile to delete — your session ends when you leave the site.

Wir speichern keine Nachrichtenprotokolle oder Kommunikationsdaten dauerhaft. Allerdings können Sperr- und Beschwerdedaten zu Moderationszwecken vorübergehend aufbewahrt werden.

Certain records required for legal compliance may be retained as required by law.

Datenschutzmaßnahmen

Wir setzen moderne Sicherheitsmaßnahmen ein, darunter Firewalls, SSL-Verschlüsselung, Authentifizierungskontrollen und sichere Rechenzentren, um die Daten unserer Nutzer zu schützen. Nur autorisierte Mitarbeiter haben Zugriff auf diese Informationen.

Obwohl wir branchenübliche Schutzmaßnahmen einsetzen, ist keine Methode der Übertragung oder Speicherung vollkommen sicher. Durch die Nutzung von Talk City erkennen Sie dieses Risiko an.
