Privacy Policy
Your privacy is fundamental to Disappearo. We believe in transparency about how we handle your data.
Our Privacy Philosophy
Disappearo is built on the principle of ephemeral communication. We minimize data retention, ensure user control over their information, and maintain transparency about our data practices. Your conversations are designed to be temporary, not permanent records.
Data Collection & Storage
Authentication Data
We use Appwrite for secure authentication. We do not store passwords - only magic link tokens for secure login. Your email address is used solely for authentication purposes.
Profile Information
We store minimal profile data: a unique handle (auto-generated), user ID, and strike count for moderation purposes. No personal information beyond what's necessary for functionality.
Chat Messages
Messages exist only during active chat sessions. They are automatically deleted when sessions end or expire. We do not maintain permanent message logs.
Image Content
Images are stored in Appwrite Storage with access controlled by your project's security rules. Images are not permanently retained and are subject to the same ephemeral nature as messages.
Content Moderation & AI
To maintain safe spaces, we use AI-powered content moderation:
- •Text content is analyzed using OpenModerator AI models for inappropriate content
- •Images are scanned for content violations using AI detection
- •Strike system: 3 violations result in automatic account suspension
- •Moderation data is not stored permanently - only strike counts
Data Export & Control
You have control over your data through our export system:
- •Exports require mutual consent from both chat participants
- •Available formats: JSON and TXT
- •Export data includes only the conversation content, not metadata
- •You can request deletion of your profile data at any time
Data Retention
Chat Messages: Deleted immediately when sessions end or expire (5-minute limit)
Images: Removed when chat sessions end
User Profiles: Retained until account deletion
Moderation Data: Only strike counts are retained for safety purposes
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- •Appwrite: Backend services, authentication, and data storage
- •OpenModerator: AI content moderation (text and image analysis)
Each service has their own privacy policies, which we recommend reviewing.
