Privacy
Short version: your export never leaves your device, and there are no cookies.
Who runs this
Kept Chats is run by ALGD LTD, a company registered in Northern Ireland, number NI744090. ALGD LTD is the data controller for anything described here. You can reach us at [email protected].
Your export
When you open a file, your browser reads it from your disk and the code on this page processes it on your own device. The file, the messages, the names of the people in it, the photos and anything you save from it aren't sent to us or to anyone else. The site's security policy only lets the page connect to this site and to Cloudflare’s visit counter, and the only thing it sends is the short note described below. You can check: open your browser's developer tools, watch the Network tab, and open your export.
When a file opens or won't open
When an export opens or fails to open, or a copy is saved or fails, the page tells our server the type of file (for example "tar" or "json"), whether it worked and, if not, a short category such as "truncated". It never sends the file, its name, its size or anything inside it, and nothing identifying you is stored. This helps us fix exports that don't open.
What the hosting records
Like any website, the pages have to be sent to you. The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, and Cloudflare processes technical data such as your IP address and browser type to deliver pages and protect against abuse. ALGD LTD doesn't use this to build profiles of visitors.
Visit counts and cookies
Kept Chats uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits. It sets no cookies. For each page view it records the page address, the page you came from, your browser and device type, your country (worked out from your IP address, which isn't stored) and how long the page took to load. There's no advertising and no tracking across other sites.
What's stored in your browser
Nothing from your export is stored. If you buy the unlock, your browser's local storage keeps a note that this browser is unlocked. Clear your site data to remove it.
If you buy the unlock
Payment is handled by Stripe on Stripe's own pages. ALGD LTD receives the details needed to record the sale, such as your name, email address and the amount paid, and never sees your full card number. These records are kept as long as UK tax rules require.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask what personal data ALGD LTD holds about you, and ask for it to be corrected or deleted. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
