What OmegleWeb collects
- Account details you provide when you sign in with Google or email. Guest accounts have none.
- Device and connection details: browser, type of device, approximate location from your connection, and when you use OmegleWeb. These make fraud and abuse checks possible.
- Usage: which features you use and how long calls last. Call length is also how charges are calculated.
- Payments are handled by a payment provider on its own page. OmegleWeb does not receive card numbers.
Your camera and microphone
Your browser asks for permission before either one is turned on. They are used to carry a call while it is taking place. Recording the other person is forbidden by the terms of service.
Messages
Conversations are not read as a matter of routine. When something is reported, the reported part is reviewed to work out what happened.
Who data is shared with
OmegleWeb does not sell personal data. It is shared only with:
- companies that run parts of the service for us, such as payments, hosting and abuse prevention, under contract;
- authorities, when a valid legal request requires it or someone's safety is at risk.
How long data is kept
There is no single fixed period. Data is kept as long as any of the following applies:
- your account is open;
- it is needed to settle a payment, a dispute, or a tax or accounting obligation;
- it is needed to keep a removal in force;
- the law requires it, or an investigation is under way.
Once none of these applies any longer, it is deleted.
Your choices and rights
- Block anyone, instantly.
- Report a profile.
- Delete your account in your settings, or ask support to delete it.
- Ask for a copy of your data, or for it to be corrected. Depending on where you live you may have further rights, and OmegleWeb will respect them.
Cookies and browser storage
A small amount of data is stored in your browser to keep you signed in, remember your settings and detect abuse. Clearing it signs you out, and a guest account that was never linked to Google or email cannot be recovered afterwards.
Age
OmegleWeb is not for anyone under 18. If an account is found to belong to someone under 18, it is closed and its data removed.
