What We Collect

01 Guest identifier

• What it is: a random ID stored on your device when you first open TalkLivCam as a guest.
• Why we need it: to keep your session together, so your matches, follows and coins stay with you while you use the site.
• Your control: clearing your browser storage removes it; the next visit creates a new one.

02 Account details

• What it is: your display name, profile photo and, if you create an account, the email or sign-in details linked to it.
• Why we need it: to show other people who they are talking to and to let you return to the same account later.
• Your control: change your name and photo in the app; ask support to delete the account entirely.

03 Matches, calls and follows

• What it is: a record of which matches and calls happened and when, who you follow and who you have blocked.
• Why we need it: to show your follow list, keep blocked people away from you and look into reports.
• Your control: unfollow or block anyone at any time from their profile.

04 Messages and club posts

• What it is: text, photos and short videos you send in messages or post in clubs.
• Why we need it: to deliver them, to show your conversation history and to check reported content.
• Your control: think before you send; ask support to delete your account and the content linked to it.

05 Live stream activity

• What it is: which streams you watched, the comments you wrote and the gifts you sent.
• Why we need it: to show your comments to the room, credit gifts correctly and handle reports about stream behavior.
• Your control: comments are public inside the stream, so write accordingly.

06 Purchases

• What it is: the coins and VIP you bought, when and for how much, and how coins were spent. Full card numbers are handled by the payment provider, not stored by us.
• Why we need it: to deliver what you paid for, keep accounting records and help with payment questions.
• Your control: contact support about any purchase; records required by law are kept for the required period.

07 Reports

• What it is: reports you file and reports filed about you, with the details attached to them.
• Why we need it: to act on rule breaking and to recognize people who come back after being removed.
• Your control: you choose when to file a report; ask support if you believe a decision about you was wrong.

08 Device and connection data

• What it is: browser and device type, language, screen size, IP address and the approximate location it suggests, and error logs.
• Why we need it: to make video work on your device, show the right language, prevent abuse and fix bugs.
• Your control: your browser settings and network choices; some of this is needed for the service to work at all.

09 Cookies and analytics

• What it is: cookies and local storage that keep you signed in and remember settings, plus analytics that measure page speed and usage.
• Why we need it: to keep the site working smoothly and understand which features people use.
• Your control: clear or block cookies in your browser; the site still works, though you may appear as a new guest.

10 Camera and microphone access

• What it is: the permission your browser gives TalkLivCam to use your camera and microphone during matches, calls and your own preview window.
• Why we need it: without it, the person you meet cannot see or hear you, which is the whole point of a video chat.
• Your control: allow or deny it in the browser prompt, revoke it in browser settings at any time, or choose a text match instead.

11 Language and display settings

• What it is: the language your browser reports and choices such as sound on or off.
• Why we need it: to show the site in a readable way and remember small preferences between visits.
• Your control: change them in the app or in your browser; clearing site data resets them.

12 What we leave out on purpose

Some things a chat site could ask for, we simply do not. Knowing the gaps is as useful as knowing the list above.

• No contact book: TalkLivCam never asks to read your phone contacts or your social media friends.
• No precise location: we do not request GPS access; the rough region from your IP address is all we see.
• No full card numbers: those stay with the payment provider.
• No marketing profiles: we do not build advertising profiles from what you say in chats or sell information to data brokers.

13 Support emails

• What it is: the messages you send to support and our replies.
• Why we need it: to solve your problem and keep track of the case if you write again.
• Your control: include only what we need; ask us to delete the conversation once it is resolved.
