Privacy Policy & Data Transparency

Effective Date: January 1, 2025

At Omigo.chat, we prioritize the security of our communication platform. This document explains exactly how our technology works, what we don't collect, and how we keep the community safe.

1. Our Core Principle: Data Minimization

Omigo operates on a Data Minimization principle. We only process the absolute minimum data required to facilitate communication between users.

2. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Architecture

We use a technology called WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) to facilitate video and audio chats.

How It Works

When you connect with a user, our server acts as a "handshake" introducer. Once the introduction is made, the video stream flows directly from your device to theirs. This means your video does not pass through a central recording server.

A Note on IP Addresses

Because WebRTC connects two devices directly to reduce latency, your IP address is shared with the other user's device during a call. This is a fundamental part of how the internet works. If you are highly concerned about IP privacy, we recommend using a VPN service while communicating.

3. AI Moderation & Safety Data

To keep the platform safe from abuse, we employ automated AI moderation systems. Here is how they interact with privacy:

4. Cookies & Local Storage

We do not use tracking cookies to sell ads. We use your browser's "Local Storage" strictly for functional purposes:

5. Changes to This Policy

As technology evolves, we may update this policy. We will notify users of significant changes via a notice on our homepage.
