Chatzyo Community Guidelines for Safe Anonymous Video Chat

Version 4.1 | Effective April 2026

At Chatzyo, we believe that anonymity is a fundamental right, but it is not a shield for misconduct. Our platform is designed to facilitate spontaneous, human connections—whether you are looking for random video chat or exploring local Tamil communities. To maintain this environment, every user must adhere to the Global Conduct Standards outlined below.

Our Core Values

We prioritize Respect, Inclusivity, and Safety. We operate a zero-tolerance policy regarding the weaponization of our platform for harm.

1. Prohibited Content & Zero-Tolerance

Because we utilize a zero-data philosophy, we do not monitor your private conversations. However, if a user is reported for any of the following, their session token will be permanently blacklisted:

Illegal Activity: Any promotion of illegal acts, including drug trafficking, unauthorized financial schemes, or solicitations, is strictly prohibited.

Harassment & Hate Speech: We do not tolerate attacks based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. This applies to all our regional rooms, including India and UK chat segments.

Non-Consensual Imagery: Sharing intimate images without explicit consent is a violation of international safety laws and will result in an immediate hardware ID ban.

2. Professionalism and Bot Prevention

Chatzyo is a place for real humans. To ensure our users in USA chat and Chennai chat are meeting genuine people, we forbid the use of automated scripts or bots.

No Commercial Solicitation: Do not use Chatzyo to sell products or services.
No URL Spamming: Repetitive sharing of external links is flagged by our automated heuristics.
No Fake Camera Software: Using virtual cameras to play pre-recorded loops is considered a breach of community trust.

No Personal Information Sharing: Sharing phone numbers, email addresses, social media usernames, payment details, or other personal contact information is prohibited. Repeated attempts to bypass our automated filters may result in temporary or permanent restrictions.

Explicit Sexual Content: Nudity, sexually explicit behavior, or unwanted sexual conduct during video chat is prohibited and may result in immediate removal from the platform.

3. How Our Moderation Works

In a no-login environment, moderation must be proactive. We use a combination of Heuristic Analysis and Community-Led Reporting.

Reporting a User

If you encounter someone violating these rules, use the built-in report feature immediately. Reported sessions may be reviewed and appropriate moderation actions may be taken, including temporary restrictions or removal from the platform.

Users can also use the built-in block feature to prevent unwanted interactions and avoid future communication from abusive users.

Appealing a Ban

If you believe your session was terminated in error, you can contact our team through the Support Portal. Please note that since we follow a "Zero-Data" approach, we cannot see what happened in your past chat; we can only review the automated report logs.

4. Safety for 18+ Audiences

Chatzyo is strictly for users aged 18 and older. While our platform is often used for casual video chat, it is not a space for minors. We employ age-estimation AI during the connection handshake to detect and prevent underage access. If you see a minor on the platform, please report them immediately under the "Safety" category.

5. Responsible Use of Language Rooms

Our localized rooms (like Tamil Chat) are intended to celebrate culture and language. We encourage users to stay within the designated language to keep the experience enjoyable for everyone. Using these rooms to troll or disrupt specific communities is a violation of our "Goal-Oriented" guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I be unbanned?
Most automated session bans expire after 24-48 hours. However, repeat offenders will have their device fingerprint permanently blocked from our signaling servers.

Does Chatzyo record my reports?
We record the *fact* that a report happened (e.g., "User A reported User B for Spam"), but we do not record the video or text associated with that report. This protects your privacy while still allowing us to remove bad actors.

Thank you for helping us keep Chatzyo the most trusted anonymous video platform in 2026. By continuing to use our service, you agree to these standards.
