Privacy policy

Last updated 10 Nov 2026

This starter text describes how the hellohibye software handles data. The operator of this site must review it and add their legal entity, contact details, retention periods and lawful bases before publishing.

What is stored Your account (username, e-mail, optional phone), your profile, the content and comments you publish, messages you send, reactions, follows, bookmarks, notification settings and security events such as sign-ins. Uploaded files are stored in this site's object storage; originals that may contain location data (EXIF) are never shown to other people — only processed renditions are.

Private messages and calls Chat messages and private attachments are only readable by members of the conversation, through short-lived signed links. Vault rooms encrypt text in your browser with a passphrase the server never sees. Voice and video calls are relayed by this site's own media server (or, for some one-to-one calls, sent directly between the two browsers through this site's relay server) and are not recorded. Call media is encrypted in transit between your browser and that server (DTLS-SRTP); it is not end-to-end encrypted, so the server that relays a call could technically access it.

AI features AI features are off by default. If the operator configures a self-hosted AI server and you turn AI on in Settings, the text or audio you choose to process (for example a chat summary, a translation or live captions) is sent to that server only for that request. Live captions in calls are produced by this site's speech server and are not stored. An AI assistant can join a call only after every participant has agreed; it hears only the people who agreed, anyone can remove it, and neither the audio it hears nor its answers are stored.

Your choices You can download your data, deactivate your account or request deletion from Settings → Data. Deletion removes your profile, content, messages and media after a short grace period, except where the operator must keep records by law.
