Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 27, 2026
ConfessChain ("we", "us", or "our") operates https://confess-chain.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we process when you use our anonymous emotional storytelling platform, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using ConfessChain, you agree to this policy.
1. Who we are
ConfessChain is an anonymous confession and emotional storytelling website. We are designed so you can share and continue stories without creating a traditional public profile. For privacy questions, use our contact form.
2. Information we collect
Content you submit
When you post a confession or continue a chain, we store the text you submit, any mood or category you select, timestamps, and related moderation metadata (for example, report status). Do not include real names, addresses, phone numbers, or other personal data you are not comfortable making public.
Ghost identity
We do not require accounts with real names, emails, or profile photos for normal use. A random ghost identity may be created and stored in your browser so you can recognize your own posts locally. That identity is not intended to identify you personally.
Anonymous chat
Chat uses a temporary anonymous name that is generated separately for each room. Other participants can see that name, your messages, and whether you are currently active, but they cannot see your real name, email, account profile, location, or underlying identity identifier. We internally associate participation with an essential anonymous browser cookie so we can enforce room access, deletion, blocking, host controls, and abuse prevention without exposing that identifier to other users.
Conversation history is kept for mood rooms and private groups alike, including older messages, so chats remain readable when you return later. Individual messages can still be deleted by their author or hidden through moderation. Reports may be retained longer when needed for safety review, legal compliance, or abuse prevention. Leaving and rejoining a room creates a new visible anonymous chat name.
Technical and usage data
Like most websites, our servers and hosting providers may automatically process technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, approximate location derived from IP, pages visited, and timestamps. This helps us operate the service, prevent abuse, and diagnose outages.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and local storage for essential site functions (for example, remembering cookie preferences and local ghost identity, group access, unread chat state, and interface settings).
3. How we use information
- To display, moderate, and improve confessions, chains, and anonymous chats
- To detect spam, abuse, illegal activity, and policy violations
- To maintain security, performance, and reliability
- To respond to contact requests you send us
- To comply with legal obligations
4. Content filtering and moderation
To keep ConfessChain safer and compatible with our Community Guidelines and safety rules, we automatically scan confessions, replies, and chat messages before they are published.
- Auto-masking: Milder inappropriate language (for example, common swear words or sexual slang) may be partially masked with characters such as asterisks before the post is saved and shown publicly.
- Hard blocks: Content that appears to include prohibited material — such as child sexual exploitation, graphic sexual solicitation, self-harm or suicide instructions, hate recruitment, doxxing, scams, or illegal sales — is rejected and is not published.
- Human review: Users can report posts and replies. Moderators may hide content or restrict identities that repeatedly break the rules.
Filtered or blocked text is processed only to enforce safety and policy rules. We do not sell the contents of your confessions. Automated filters are imperfect; they may miss some violations or occasionally mask more than intended. Full behavioral rules are described in our Community Guidelines.
5. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with service providers who help us host, secure, or operate the site, when required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and integrity of users and the platform. Pages may contain third-party advertising, which is governed by the provider's own privacy terms and can be limited through browser privacy settings or content blockers.
6. Data retention
Confessions remain available according to the settings chosen at posting (including disappearing posts) and our moderation needs. Anonymous chat messages are retained across live and quieter rooms unless an author deletes their own message or moderation hides content. Technical logs are retained only as long as reasonably necessary for security and operations. You may request removal of specific content by contacting us with enough detail for us to locate it.
7. Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing of personal data, or to object to processing. Because ConfessChain is anonymous by design, we may need enough information from you to identify the relevant content or request. You can clear essential local preferences through your browser settings.
8. Children
Do not submit personal information about a child. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
9. International visitors
We may process information on servers located in different countries. If you access ConfessChain from the EU/EEA, UK, or similar jurisdictions, local privacy rights may apply to that processing.
10. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after updates means you accept the revised policy.
