Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

At Rome Video Chat, we understand that privacy is fundamental to feeling secure while using our platform. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the steps we take to protect your data. We designed this policy to be clear and transparent—no hidden clauses or confusing legal jargon.

We're committed to complying with global privacy standards including GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable regulations. By using Rome Video Chat, you trust us with your information, and we take that responsibility seriously.

We retain your information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is legally required.

Security measures we implement:

• End-to-end encryption for video and text communications
• Regular security audits and penetration testing
• Access controls limiting employee access to user data
• Secure data centers with physical and digital protections

Despite our efforts, no online transmission is 100% secure. We encourage users to use strong passwords, enable two-factor authentication when available, and report suspicious activity.
