Does Chatzyo Store Chat History?

Technical Privacy Disclosure PD-101 | Updated April 2026

In the digital age, data retention is a primary concern for users engaging in spontaneous social discovery. At CHATZYO, our architecture is built on the clinical principle of Ephemerality. Unlike traditional social media platforms that monetize your archives, our system is designed so that your text and video interactions exist only for the duration of the active session. This guide explores the technical mechanisms that ensure your history is never stored on our infrastructure.

The Zero-Log Guarantee: CHATZYO does not maintain a database of user conversations. Once a connection is severed, the data packet is purged from the volatile memory of our signaling servers.

1. WebRTC and Peer-to-Peer Transmission

The core reason we do not store chat history is our use of WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication). When you connect with someone in USA Chat or Tamil Chat, the data travels directly between your device and your partner's device. This is known as a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) connection.

End-to-End Encryption: The stream is encrypted using DTLS-SRTP protocols. This means even if someone intercepted the data during transit, it would be unreadable.
Bypassing Servers: Since the data doesn't "live" on our servers, there is no physical file for us to store or retrieve.

2. Volatile Memory vs. Persistent Storage

During a 1-on-1 video call, small text packets are relayed through our signaling layer to coordinate the connection. However, this information is stored exclusively in RAM (Volatile Memory).

Technical Breakdown:

1. Session Initiation: A temporary session ID is created to pair two users.

2. Data Flow: Text messages are rendered in the browser's local state.

3. Termination Cleanup: As soon as one user clicks "Next" or closes the tab, the signaling server triggers a SIGKILL command for that session's temporary data, leaving no trace on the disk.

3. Local Storage and Client-Side History

While CHATZYO does not store your history on its servers, your browser may temporarily hold text in its local cache to ensure the chat window scrolls correctly. This is Client-Side Storage.

Browser Responsibility: Once you refresh the page or navigate away, this local cache is flushed.
Manual Clearing: For maximum privacy, we recommend using "Incognito" or "Private" mode, which automatically wipes this local data upon closing the window. Learn more in our guide on clearing cookies and cache.

4. The Impact of Moderation on Privacy

Some users ask: "If you don't store data, how do you moderate?" As detailed in our Moderation Guide, our AI uses real-time visual hashing. It analyzes frames for violations in milliseconds and generates a report hash if a rule is broken. If no violation is detected, the hash is never converted into a permanent record. This allows us to keep India Chat safe while respecting the "Zero-Storage" rule.

5. Compliance with Global Privacy Standards

Our refusal to store chat history aligns with the "Privacy by Design" requirements of the GDPR and India's DPDP Act. By not collecting sensitive conversational data, we eliminate the risk of data breaches affecting our users. Our operational center in Coimbatore ensures that all server configurations adhere to these strict non-retention policies.

Conclusion

At CHATZYO, your past is your own. We provide the platform for the moment, but we do not keep a record of it. Whether you are chatting in UK Chat or meeting a stranger for the first time, you can do so with the clinical certainty that your words and image are ephemeral.
