How this chat service handles information. Last updated 20 October 2026.
This site relays an encrypted conversation between two browsers. We keep as little information about you as the service can be run on, we do not sell it, and we do not pass it to advertising networks. There is no account, so there is nothing about you to register.
Every visit leaves an entry in the web server log: the address you connected from, the time, the page requested, the response, the amount of data sent, and the browser identification your browser supplies.
From that address we work out an approximate location - city, region and country - using a copy of a geolocation database held on our own server. Your address is not sent to any outside service in order to do this. Detailed records are kept for 30 days and then removed; only counts and totals are kept after that.
This site sets no advertising or tracking cookies, and uses no third-party analytics service. The site software may set a single session cookie, which is needed for the site to function and is discarded when you close the browser.
Messages are encrypted in your browser before they are sent and decrypted only in the other participant’s browser. The keys are created in the browsers and held in the part of the chat address that browsers keep locally and do not transmit, so this site does not hold the key to the conversations it relays. That is a consequence of how the service is built and not a matter of policy.
The server relays and stores messages only in encrypted form, so that a participant who is not online at the moment can receive them. Either participant can discard the chat, after which the stored messages are removed. As with any web request, the server log records the address and time of each request that sends or collects a message, but not the contents, which the server cannot read.
We do not sell or rent information about you. We do not use advertising networks or third-party trackers. We do not attempt to identify individual visitors from their browsing.
You may ask what we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. Write to software@clue.im and we will respond.
If this notice changes, the date at the top changes with it.
Each one does a single job properly, in the same plain language, with no account anywhere.
