Privacy

Jerkly.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) values and respects the privacy of its users (“you,” “your,” or “user”). This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how we use it, and the measures we take to safeguard your personal information when you use our services. By accessing and using Jerkly.com, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information from our users:

a. Personal Information: This includes information that can be used to identify you, such as your name, email address, and profile picture. We collect this information only when you voluntarily provide it to us, such as when you create an account or contact us for support.

b. Usage Information: We automatically collect certain information about how you interact with our platform, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, and the duration of your visit.

c. Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your user experience, remember your preferences, and gather aggregate usage data.

How We Use Your Information

We may use the information we collect for the following purposes:

a. To provide, maintain, and improve our services. b. To communicate with you, respond to inquiries, and provide customer support. c. To personalize your user experience and deliver content relevant to your interests. d. To monitor and analyze platform usage and trends to improve our services. e. To detect, prevent, and address technical issues and potential security threats. f. To enforce our Terms of Service and comply with legal obligations.

Sharing Your Information

We will not share your personal information with third parties without your explicit consent, except under the following circumstances:

a. To comply with a legal obligation, such as a court order, subpoena, or law enforcement request. b. To protect the safety, rights, or property of Jerkly.com, our users, or the public. c. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity.

Video Chat: Connection and Moderation

Video and audio in the chat travel with WebRTC directly between devices (peer-to-peer) where the network allows it; otherwise the connection runs through a relay server. Streams are encrypted in transit. With a direct connection, your chat partner may be able to see your IP address. Your chat partner can record or screenshot their own screen; we cannot detect or prevent this.

We do not record video or audio of your chats. To detect and prevent child sexual abuse material, we may automatically take occasional still images from your own camera while you use the video chat. Only our moderators can see them, and they are deleted after 24 hours, unless they are needed as evidence of illegal content, in which case we keep them and may report them to the authorities.

To enforce bans, your browser keeps a random ID, in its storage and in a cookie on this site. When you start a chat, it also sends a few plain facts about your device: the screen size, the graphics chip, the number of processor cores, the time zone, the languages and, where the browser shares it, the phone model. We keep only a fingerprint of them (a hash calculated with a secret key), never the facts themselves. When someone is banned, the fingerprints of their device are kept for a week, and a new account or browser on a device with the same fingerprint may have to wait for a moderator before it can chat. The fingerprints your browser used are deleted after 30 days.

Chat again and friends: when you and your chat partner both like a chat and choose Chat again, we keep for 7 days that your two browsers (or accounts) may be offered to each other, with each side’s country and age as the other is shown them. With an account, your friends see when you are online (you can turn this off), the time of day you usually chat, and can wave at you or plan a chat with you. If you turn on notifications, we keep your browser’s notification subscription to send them; when a notification cannot reach you, we may send at most one email a day to your verified address, which you can turn off in your friends list. Waves are deleted after 30 days, plans 90 days after their time, and all of it when you delete your account.

We use Cloudflare for hosting, for matching you with chat partners and, when a relay is needed, for the video connection. Google Analytics measures how the site is used.

Security Measures

We take the security of your personal information seriously and employ industry-standard measures to protect it from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of online data transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

Children’s Privacy

Jerkly.com is not intended for users under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we become aware that a person under 18 has provided us with personal information, we will take appropriate steps to remove such information and terminate their account.

Third-Party Links

Our platform may contain links to third-party websites and services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites or services you may visit.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on our platform, along with the date of the last update. Your continued use of Jerkly.com after any changes to our Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
