2. How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

Provide messaging, profiles, rooms, media sharing, and account features
Authenticate users, including optional Google sign-in
Protect the service against abuse, spam, fraud, and unauthorized access
Operate moderation, safety review, and enforcement workflows
Maintain account preferences and app functionality
Diagnose bugs, improve reliability, and monitor service performance
Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service

3. Legal Bases and Consent

Depending on where you live, we process information based on one or more of the following:

Your consent, including when you register and agree to our legal terms
Performance of the service you requested
Legitimate interests such as security, abuse prevention, and product improvement
Compliance with legal obligations

4. Third-Party Services

DRTC uses limited third-party services to operate core functionality. These may include:

Google Identity Services: For optional Google sign-in
Google reCAPTCHA: To reduce automated abuse during registration
Platform providers: App stores, hosting, infrastructure, and browser push or PWA-related components

These services may process information according to their own privacy terms. We do not sell your personal information to advertisers or data brokers.

5. Who Can See Your Information

Other users: Can see information you intentionally make available in the app, such as username, avatar, bio, and online status
Chat participants: Can see messages, files, and metadata shared within the rooms they are part of
Moderators and administrators: May access reports, flagged content, and related account details when reviewing abuse or policy violations
Legal authorities: We may disclose information where required by law or where necessary to protect safety, rights, or the service

6. Data Retention

We retain data for as long as it is reasonably necessary to operate the service, enforce platform rules, resolve disputes, maintain security logs, or comply with legal obligations. Specific retention periods may vary by data type.

If you delete your account, we attempt to remove or de-identify account data consistent with how the service currently works. Some records may remain temporarily in backups, moderation records, or system logs where necessary for security, fraud prevention, or legal compliance.

7. Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect data, including password hashing, access controls, and HTTPS-based transport where supported. No internet system can be guaranteed 100% secure, so you use the service at your own risk.

8. Your Choices and Rights

You may be able to:

Update profile and privacy settings inside the app
Choose whether others can discover you for direct messages
Delete your account
Request information about your account data by contacting us
Disable browser notifications or local storage features in your device/browser settings

9. Children and Safety

DRTC is not intended for children under 13, or older minimum ages where local law requires it. If you believe a child is using the service in violation of applicable law or platform rules, contact us so we can review and act where appropriate.

10. International Users

If you access DRTC from outside the country where our infrastructure is located, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in other jurisdictions.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page and may provide additional notice where appropriate.
