🔒 Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 20, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how THC-Chat ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects your information when you use our service. By using THC-Chat, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide Directly

  • Account information: username, email address, and a hashed (encrypted) password.
  • Content you post publicly or privately on the platform (e.g., posts, comments, messages).
  • Any communications you send to us (e.g., support requests).

B. Information Collected Automatically

  • IP addresses – used solely for spam prevention, security, and abuse detection.
  • Basic usage data (e.g., page views, feature usage) to improve the service.
  • Session cookies (see Section 4 below).

We do not collect precise geolocation data, device fingerprints, or any sensitive personal information unless you voluntarily provide it in your content.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information only for legitimate operational purposes:

  • To provide, maintain, and improve THC-Chat.
  • To prevent spam, fraud, harassment, and other prohibited conduct.
  • To respond to your account issues or support requests.
  • To comply with legal obligations (e.g., lawful subpoenas, court orders).
  • To enforce our Terms of Service.

We do not sell your personal data. We do not share your data with advertisers. We do not use third-party analytics or tracking cookies beyond the essential session cookie.

3. Information Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

  • With your consent – e.g., if you ask us to share something.
  • Legal compliance – if required by law, subpoena, court order, or government request (U.S. law applies).
  • Protection of rights – to enforce our Terms, investigate fraud, or protect the safety of users.
  • Service providers – currently, only PayPal (for payment processing of script purchases). PayPal has its own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review.

We will never share your information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

4. Cookies

We use one session cookie – required to keep you logged in as you navigate the site. This cookie is temporary and expires when you close your browser. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any persistent cross-site tracking.

5. Data Retention & Deletion

  • Your data is retained for as long as your account is active.
  • When you delete your account, we will remove your profile information, posts, comments, messages, and associated metadata within a reasonable timeframe (usually within 30 days).
  • IP addresses and usage logs used for security may be retained for a limited additional period (up to 90 days) to investigate potential violations, after which they are deleted.
  • Content that has been shared by others (e.g., replies quoting you) may persist after account deletion, but attribution to your username will be removed.

6. Children's Privacy

THC-Chat is an adults-only service intended for users 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that a user under 18 has created an account or provided personal information, we will delete the account and all associated data immediately. If you believe a person under 18 has used our service, please contact us at webmastee@thc-chat.com.

7. Your Rights (Under U.S. Law)

Depending on your state of residence (e.g., California, Virginia, Colorado), you may have certain rights:

  • Access – request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Deletion – request permanent deletion of your account and data (you can also do this yourself).
  • Correction – request correction of inaccurate information.
  • Opt-out of "sale" – we do not sell your data, so no action is needed.

To exercise these rights, contact us at webmastee@thc-chat.com. We will respond within 30 days as required by law. Verification of identity may be required.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information – including hashed passwords, limited access to servers, and routine security updates. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we will notify you as required by law in the event of a data breach that affects your personal information.

9. Third-Party Links or Services

THC-Chat may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. If you use PayPal to purchase our script, PayPal's privacy policy applies to that transaction.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top will change. If we make material changes, we will notify you via a prominent notice on the site or by email. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
