Privacy Policy
Haze is built to protect your anonymity. This page explains — in plain language — exactly what we collect, what we don't, and the choices you have.
1 Who we are
Haze ("we", "us", "our") operates a free anonymous chat platform at hazechat.pages.dev. Haze is intended for adults aged 18 and over.
For privacy questions, reach us on Telegram at @prantapb.
2 What we collect
We keep data collection deliberately minimal. Here is the complete list:
| Data | Where it lives | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Display name, gender, short bio | Your browser (localStorage) | Shown to the chat partner you're matched with |
| Anonymous user ID | Your browser + our servers while in a chat | Lets you resume a chat and prevents duplicate sessions |
| Chat messages and images | Our servers (Cloudflare D1 database) | Delivered to your chat partner in real time |
| Chat room metadata | Our servers | Timestamps and status to keep chats synchronised |
| Server logs | Cloudflare infrastructure | Security, abuse prevention, and basic traffic analytics |
We do not collect: your real name, email address, phone number, physical address, government ID, payment information, or any persistent identifier tied to your identity.
3 How your data is used
- To match you with another user and deliver messages between you.
- To let you resume a chat after closing your browser.
- To detect and block spam, abuse, and illegal content.
- To keep the platform running and secure.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your data. We do not build advertising profiles of you.
4 How long we keep data
- Messages and images: deleted the moment either user leaves the chat, or after 30 days of inactivity — whichever comes first.
- Chat room records: deleted automatically once the room is closed or inactive for 30 days.
- Your profile: stays in your browser until you clear your browser data.
- Server logs: retained by Cloudflare for a limited time for security and legal compliance.
5 Cookies and local storage
Haze does not use advertising cookies. We use localStorage (a browser storage feature) to remember:
- Your display name, gender, and bio.
- Your anonymous user ID.
- Your 18+ age confirmation.
- Your block list.
You can clear all of this at any time via your browser settings. Doing so will reset your Haze identity.
6 Third-party services
We rely on the following trusted providers:
- Cloudflare — hosting, database, and content delivery.
- Google Fonts — font delivery.
- Adsterra / Profitableratecpmnetwork — advertising network. These scripts may set cookies and collect device and interaction data to serve ads.
Each provider has its own privacy policy governing their handling of technical data.
7 Your rights
Because Haze collects almost no personal data, most traditional data requests don't apply. You can still:
- Clear your data by clearing your browser's local storage.
- Delete a chat instantly by leaving it — the room and all its messages are wiped from our servers.
- Message us on Telegram at @prantapb with any concern.
If you are in the EU, UK, or California, you may have additional rights (access, deletion, portability). Contact us and we will assist within the limits of what we store.
8 Children
Haze is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly allow minors to use the service. If we discover that a minor is using Haze, we will remove their session and, where appropriate, report the matter to the relevant authorities.
9 Safety and abuse
While Haze is anonymous, it is not lawless. We log reports of abuse and cooperate with law enforcement when legally required. Do not use Haze to share or request:
- Content involving minors.
- Threats, harassment, or hate speech.
- Personal information of others without consent.
- Anything illegal under the laws applicable to you.
10 Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of Haze after changes means you accept the revised policy.
