Privacy Policy
A clear account of what happens to information you share here.
Last updated: October 19, 2026
1. Anonymous chats — deleted when they end
Text chat needs no account, phone number or email. While a chat is active, messages are held only temporarily so they can reach the other person. As soon as either person ends, skips or blocks the chat, all messages and the chat room are permanently deleted. We do not keep chat history, transcripts or backups of conversations. If you report someone, we keep only the report and your optional reason — never the messages.
2. Voice calls — never recorded
Calm Zone never records, stores or listens to voice calls. Audio flows live through our call provider, Agora, only for as long as the call lasts. Call requests are removed when cancelled, and expire automatically (pending requests after 30 minutes, accepted calls after 2 hours). The call provider may process technical connection data under its own policies.
3. Usernames and browser storage
We use local storage on your device for a random anonymous session identifier and preferences such as hidden call requests. A username you choose for voice-call requests is also sent to and stored in our database so other visitors can identify the request. You do not need an account to use the site. Clearing browser storage may remove your ability to manage stories or requests tied to that device.
4. Public stories and call requests
Stories you submit, including their title, body, date and hug count, are public and may appear in search engines. Your browser identifier may be stored privately to let you edit or delete your stories. Voice-call requests and their optional messages are stored with a username, status and connection details so requests can be shown and handled. Please avoid including identifying information in public stories or requests.
5. Contact messages
If you contact us, we store the name, email address, subject and message you provide, along with a browser session identifier and submission time, to respond to your inquiry and limit repeated submissions. If you choose to send an email using your email app, that message is also handled by your email provider.
6. Rage Venting Box
Text typed into the Rage Venting Box stays in the open page and is cleared when you choose Burn & let go. The feature does not submit that text to our database.
Confessions — your visibility choice
Choosing For universe and pressing Publish stores your confession and its publication time so anyone can read it in the public Confessions section. A private anonymous browser identifier is stored for attribution but is not displayed publicly. Public confessions may be indexed by search engines; avoid identifying information. Choosing Keep personal saves the confession only in this browser's local storage: its text is not sent to our database or shown publicly. Anyone with access to the same browser could read it. You can delete individual personal confessions, and clearing browser data removes them. Personal confessions do not sync across devices.
7. Technical data and other services
Our hosting and infrastructure providers may process standard request information, such as IP address, browser details and connection times, for delivery, security and abuse prevention. We do not claim a specific retention period for provider logs. We use Lovable Cloud for data storage and Agora for voice connectivity. This site does not currently include Google Analytics or advertising tracking code; if those are added, this notice should be updated. Providers may use necessary cookies or similar technologies according to their own policies.
8. Safety and children
Calm Zone is intended for adults. Visitors under 18 should use it only with parent or guardian involvement. If you feel unsafe, contact local emergency services rather than relying on a peer conversation here.
