About ChatvLink

What ChatvLink is

ChatvLink is a website, not an app you install. It works in any modern browser on a phone, tablet or computer. Random chat needs no account at all. Talk to Strangers, chat rooms and voice calls need a free account. AI roleplay chat includes 7 free messages, after which credits can be bought. It is for adults only: you must be 18 or older to use any part of the site.

Who runs it

ChatvLink is built and operated by an independent individual operator based in British Columbia, Canada. There is no company behind it and no team: one person writes the code, answers support email and reviews reports. Under Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA) and the GDPR, that operator is the organisation responsible for your personal information and can be reached at support@chatvlink.com. Full details are in the Privacy Policy.

How it is funded

ChatvLink is free to use. Its running costs are covered by voluntary donations, by purchases of roleplay credits, and in future by advertising. There are no subscriptions and nothing renews automatically: a credit purchase is a one-time payment handled by Stripe, and ChatvLink never sees or stores your card details. When advertising is added, ads will appear only to visitors who agree to advertising cookies in the cookie banner, and the Cookie Policy will name the ad partner.

Safety and moderation

• Every chat has a Report and a Block button. Reports are reviewed by the operator.
• Messages are checked automatically for abuse, and accounts that break the Terms of Use are suspended or closed.
• Random chat stores no messages after the session ends, and asks for no personal details.
• Anyone found to be under 18 is removed and their data deleted.
• If you or someone else is in danger, contact your local emergency services first.

Copyright complaints

If you believe content on ChatvLink infringes your copyright, email support@chatvlink.com with: the work you own, where the content is on ChatvLink (a link or a description), your name and contact details, and a statement that you own the work or are authorised to act for the owner. Infringing content is removed and repeat infringers lose their accounts. This process is described in section 10 of the Terms of Use.

Where things are processed

The site runs on a server in the United States. Email is sent through Brevo, payments through Stripe, and the AI roleplay replies come from third-party AI providers named in the Terms of Use. The Privacy Policy lists every partner and how long data is kept.
