Legal & Privacy

Transparency is key.

Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what information we collect and how we use it to provide the omfgosh service.

1. Information We Collect

  • Location Data: To match you with nearby users, we request access to your latitude and longitude. This data is used solely for the purpose of assigning you to a group. We do not track your movement history.
  • Device Safety Signals: We analyze technical characteristics of your device and connection to help identify and block bad actors. This data is converted into a security identifier used exclusively for preventing abuse and enforcing bans.
  • IP Address: Standard server logs and our hosting providers may record your IP address for security, rate limiting, and spam prevention.
  • Messages: Messages you send are stored ephemerally in our database to facilitate the chat.

2. Data Retention

We are designed to be ephemeral.

  • Inactive Members: Member records are removed after approximately 5-10 minutes of inactivity.
  • Empty Groups: Groups with no members are deleted automatically.
  • Messages: While not strictly auto-deleted instantly, we do not intend to keep a permanent archive of chat history. Messages are tied to groups, which are ephemeral.

3. Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services to operate:

  • Supabase: For real-time database functionality.
  • Cloudflare Turnstile: To protect the app from bots and spam. Cloudflare may collect information necessary for this security check.
