Knotchat minimizes the use of third-party services to protect your privacy:

CDN Services

We use content delivery networks (CDN) to serve static resources. These services do not have access to your personal data or chat content.

Hosting Services

Our servers are hosted by reputable providers with strong privacy commitments. They do not have access to decrypted chat data.

We are committed to protecting the privacy of all users, including minors. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 13, please do not use our service without parental consent.

If we become aware that we have collected information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will take immediate steps to delete such information.

For users between 13-17, we encourage parental guidance and supervision when using our platform.

Since we don't collect personal data, traditional data subject rights (access, rectification, deletion) don't apply. However, you have the right to:

• Use our service completely anonymously
• End any conversation at any time
• Report inappropriate behavior
• Contact us with privacy concerns

We may disclose information only when required by law, such as:

• Valid legal process (court orders, subpoenas)
• Emergency situations involving imminent harm
• Compliance with applicable laws and regulations

In such cases, we will disclose only the minimum information required and will notify users when legally permitted.

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. When we do:

• We will post the updated policy on this page
• We will update the "Last updated" date
• For significant changes, we will provide notice on our homepage
