Ohmegle.com (“Ohmegle”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy and providing a secure environment for anonymous online communication. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and disclose information when you use our platform. By using Ohmegle, you agree to the terms set forth in this policy.
1. No Account Required – Minimal Data Collection
Ohmegle does not require users to create an account or provide any personally identifiable information (PII) to access the platform. We do not ask for names, emails, phone numbers, or passwords. Users can engage in anonymous 1-on-1 video chats without registration.
To maintain the integrity and safety of the platform, we may temporarily collect and process non-personal technical information, including:
- IP addresses
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Connection timestamps
- Device type
This information is automatically deleted after a short retention period unless it is reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, enforce our Terms of Service, or respond to valid legal requests.
2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Ohmegle uses minimal cookies and similar technologies strictly for:
- Technical functionality (e.g., session management)
- Load balancing and server performance
- Optional user preferences (such as dark mode)
We do not use cookies for advertising, marketing, or user profiling. You can manage cookie settings through your browser at any time. Disabling cookies may limit the performance or accessibility of some features.
3. Use of Information
Any data collected is used for the following limited and lawful purposes:
- Preventing abuse and enforcing community standards
- Responding to abuse reports and law enforcement requests
- Monitoring system performance and uptime
- Ensuring platform security
We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes. We do not build user profiles.
4. Security and Safety
We implement industry-standard security protocols and technical safeguards to protect the platform from misuse, breaches, and unauthorized access. However, no system can guarantee absolute security. By using Ohmegle, you acknowledge and accept this inherent risk.
We also employ a combination of automated systems and human moderators to monitor for and respond to violations of our policies. If you encounter misconduct, use the Report function immediately.
5. Law Enforcement and Legal Cooperation
We cooperate fully with law enforcement and legal authorities. If Ohmegle is presented with a valid subpoena, court order, or legal request regarding alleged illegal use of the platform, we reserve the right to provide any relevant technical logs necessary to comply with the law and assist in investigations.

Ohmegle is strictly intended for users 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect any data from minors, nor do we permit their use of our service. If we become aware that someone under 18 is using Ohmegle, we will take immediate action to block access and delete any associated data.
