Privacy Policy

Straight answer for this page: Privacy on Closer is structural, not a promise: there is no account to hack because there is no account at all. Your identity is a random name in your browser, IP logs live 24 hours for abuse prevention only, and the full erasure endpoint removes every trace on request, which is why this page can be short and still honest.

Closer connects you with strangers for text, audio, and video conversations. This policy explains what data we collect and how we handle it.

What We Collect

• Connection data: Your IP address (logged temporarily for abuse prevention).
• Identity: A randomly generated ID and funny name stored in your browser's localStorage, no email, no account.
• Country: Approximate country derived from your IP for proximity matching.
• Call metadata: Duration and type of calls (text/audio/video) for service improvement.

What We Don't Collect

• No email addresses
• No real names
• No phone numbers
• No chat content or recordings
• No cookies for tracking

Data Sharing

We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties. We use Stripe for subscription payments, your payment details go directly to Stripe, never to us.

Data Retention

IP logs are retained for up to 24 hours. Report data is retained for moderation purposes. You can clear your data at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage.
