Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how UChat handles information when you use the UChat iOS application and related support services.

Information we use

We use your account identifier, public nickname, preset avatar, selected interests, answers, connection state, accepted conversation messages, reports, support requests, and purchase transaction identifiers to operate UChat, protect the community, process consumable Sparks, and respond to you. We do not request precise location, contacts, advertising identifiers, exact birth date, user photos, audio, video, or files in the first release.

How information is used

UChat uses information to provide daily topics, show answers after submission, create mutually accepted conversations, enforce blocks and reports, moderate text, deliver wallet updates, validate purchases, prevent fraud, and improve reliability. Ordinary analytics must not include message bodies.

Sharing

Answers, nickname, preset avatar, and interests are visible to other UChat users as described in the app. Accepted conversation messages are visible only to the conversation members and authorized safety reviewers when needed for a report. Apple processes App Store purchases. Service providers may process data only to support hosting, security, moderation, or customer support.

Retention and deletion

You can request permanent account deletion from Profile > Settings. Deletion clears your account, wallet, local purchase state, and non-required history. Transaction identifiers and ledger records may be minimized or de-identified and retained where needed for refunds, fraud prevention, accounting, or legal compliance.

Contact

For privacy questions or deletion support, contact support@uchat.app.
