Your privacy is a priority at UKChatRooms.org. This Privacy Policy provides a comprehensive overview of how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you access our website and chat services, in strict compliance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Our goal is to provide a safe, anonymous, and moderated chat environment for users while respecting your rights and personal data.
UKChatRooms.org is a free and fully anonymous online chat platform, powered by HybridIRC. We offer public chat rooms across various topics without requiring users to register or provide personal information. Our platform is designed to allow instant and safe communication while maintaining user privacy and security.
Respecting user anonymity is fundamental to our platform. As such, we do not require account registration and we explicitly do not collect the following:
This approach ensures that all users can participate freely without concerns about personal data exposure, making UK Chat Rooms a truly anonymous communication platform.
For operational purposes and to prevent abuse, limited technical information such as IP addresses, session data, and connection logs may be temporarily processed by our chat infrastructure. This data is never shared with other users and is only used to ensure service stability, performance, and security. We implement strict access controls and retention policies to minimize data storage duration.
Our platform uses minimal cookies that are strictly necessary for the basic functionality of the website and chat service. These essential cookies support session management, security, and performance optimization. For more detailed information on how we use cookies and how you can manage them, please see our Cookies Policy.
To provide real-time chat functionality and ensure optimal service performance, our platform may rely on trusted third-party technologies. These services are carefully selected and operate under their own privacy policies. They process data only as necessary to deliver chat services, and no personal information is disclosed without user consent.
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, or restrict the processing of any personal data that may be collected. Although our platform minimizes personal data collection, users are entitled to inquire about the processing of any technical data that may be temporarily logged during chat sessions. You can exercise these rights by contacting us directly.
We take data security seriously. Appropriate technical and organizational measures are implemented to protect all information processed by our servers against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Regular reviews ensure that security standards remain high and effective.
If you believe that your privacy rights have been violated, you may lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) , which oversees compliance with UK data protection laws.
This Privacy Policy may be revised periodically to reflect changes in legal requirements, technology, or platform practices. Any updates will be posted on this page, and continued use of the website constitutes acceptance of the latest version.
