MonkeyCam
What information MonkeyCam touches when you video chat with strangers — guest sessions, camera and mic, cookies, payments, analytics — and what it never touches.
Meet someone random →MonkeyCam is random 1v1 video chat, free to start, that you can use as a guest. This policy explains what data the service handles when you browse the site, get matched, turn on your camera, buy coins, or contact support — and just as importantly, what it never handles. Where legal phrasing would bury the point, we use the plain one.
A first chat asks for essentially nothing: no account form, no email field, no password. If you choose to register later, we store the basics you provide — a login identifier, a display name, your preferences. If you buy coins, we keep the order record (what you bought, when, in what amount) so your balance stays correct. If you write to support, we keep the message thread so the conversation makes sense.
Video chat is the product, so the browser will ask for camera and mic permission — once, for this site, and you can revoke it in your browser settings at any moment. Audio and video in a 1v1 session exist to connect the two of you in real time; MonkeyCam does not build an archive of your sessions. Recording the other person is a hard rules violation on your side — see the community guidelines.
Running a live matching service takes technical data: device and browser type, approximate region inferred from your IP address, session timing, and interaction events like matches and skips. Safety signals — reports, blocks, and the context around them — are processed so reported behavior can be reviewed. This is operational data, not a personality profile, and it is not sold.
We use cookies and local storage for unglamorous jobs: keeping a guest session alive, remembering your settings, restoring where you left off, and blocking fraud and automated abuse. Analytics cookies show which pages people use and where they leave, so the product improves. You can clear or block cookies in your browser; the site still loads, though session continuity may break.
Coin purchases are handled by third-party payment processors. MonkeyCam receives a confirmation and an order reference — your full card number never touches our servers. Prices are shown before you confirm anything, and there is no subscription quietly renewing in the background.
We use third-party analytics (such as Google Analytics) to measure traffic and usage in aggregate. These partners receive pseudonymous identifiers and event data under their own privacy terms. They do not receive your chats, your camera feed, or anything identifying the stranger you talked to.
Inside a match, the stranger sees your camera and hears your mic if you enabled them — treat that as shared, because it is. Outside your matches, there is no public directory for other users to browse you through. We do not sell personal data, and we share it only with the providers that run the platform (hosting, payments, analytics) under contract, or where the law requires it.
Account and order records are kept while the account exists and for the period afterward needed to resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and meet legal obligations. Safety reports are kept long enough to act on and to recognize repeat offenders. Data that no longer serves a real purpose is deleted or anonymized rather than stockpiled.
The everyday controls are the strongest ones: a skip button that ends any chat instantly, camera permission you can revoke, and no profile to clean up — true whether you are in a 1v1 video chat or a random text chat. Depending on where you live, you may also have legal rights to access, correct, delete, or export your data; send any such request through the contact form and name the part of MonkeyCam it concerns.
MonkeyCam is for people who have reached the age of majority where they live, and we do not knowingly collect data from minors; any account found to belong to one is removed. If this policy changes, the updated version replaces this page, and continuing to use MonkeyCam afterward means you accept it. Questions go through the contact form on this site.
