We retain personal data only as long as necessary to provide our services or comply with legal requirements. When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted.

Users can request the deletion of their Chit Chat account and associated personal data at any time.

To request account deletion, use the "Contact Us / Delete Account" option available in the app, or send an email request to mail@chitzchat.com.

After receiving a valid deletion request, we will review and process it. Your account and associated data will be permanently deleted within 5 to 10 business days, unless retention is required for legal or security purposes.

We use industry-standard security practices to protect user data, including:

• Secure servers

Despite these measures, no online system is completely secure.
