At MeetingPoint.chat, accessible from https://meetingpoint.chat, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by MeetingPoint.chat and how we use it.
1. Core Privacy Principle: Peer-to-Peer Architecture
MeetingPoint.chat is designed as a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) communication platform utilizing WebRTC technology. This differs fundamentally from traditional messaging apps:
- No Central Message Storage: Your video, audio, and text streams are transmitted directly between your device and your peer's device.
- No Eavesdropping: We do not operate media servers that record, store, or process the content of your conversations.
- Ephemeral Data: Once your browser tab is closed, the connection is severed, and no chat history is retained on our servers.
2. Information We Collect
A. Personal Information
We rely on a "No-Login" philosophy. We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or physical address. We do not require account registration to use the service.
B. Log Files & Signaling Data
Like most standard websites, MeetingPoint.chat uses log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. The information collected by log files includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type and version, Internet Service Provider (ISP), and date and time stamp.
Note on WebRTC Signaling: To connect you with another peer, our "Signaling Server" temporarily processes metadata (IP addresses and connection candidates) to establish the handshake. This metadata is strictly used for connection establishment and is not permanently stored or linked to a personal profile.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the limited information we collect to provide, operate, and maintain our website; improve, personalize, and expand our website; understand and analyze how you use our website; develop new products, services, features, and functionality; and prevent fraud and ensure the security of the connection handshake.

5. Cookies and Web Beacons
