Chair Talk Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7 June 2026. Chair Talk is operated by Mightys (contact@mightys.dev).

Chair Talk is an anonymous community for beauty professionals. Unlike most Mightys apps, Chair Talk is a social product, so it does store the content you post and a small amount of data needed to run the service. This policy explains exactly what we collect and why. It is specific to Chair Talk and overrides the general Mightys privacy policy for this app.

1. Who can use Chair Talk

Chair Talk is for adults 18 and older. You must confirm your age before using the app.

2. What we collect

• Anonymous account. When you open the app we create an anonymous account with a random identifier. You do not provide an email, phone number, or real name.
• Optional pseudonym. If you choose a handle, we store that handle. It is not linked to your real identity.
• Content you post. The text of your posts and replies, any optional mood tag, and reactions you give. This content is shown to other users.
• Coarse country. We derive an approximate country (for example "US") from your network address on the server. We do NOT collect precise location or GPS, and we do not store your IP address as part of your profile.
• Device and usage data. Standard analytics and crash diagnostics (app version, device type, events such as opening a screen or posting) via Google Firebase, used to keep the app working and improve it.
• A recovery secret. A random secret stored securely on your device so your anonymous account can survive a reinstall. It is not personal information.

3. Content moderation

To keep the community safe, the text of posts and replies is checked before publishing. We send post and reply text to OpenAI's moderation service to detect harmful content. Reported content is also reviewed by our team. Moderation is required for the app to function.

4. How we use your data

• To operate the community: show posts, replies, reactions, and mood filters.
• To keep it safe: moderation, handling reports, and enforcing blocks and bans.
• To understand aggregate usage (for example, how many users are in each country) and to diagnose crashes. Country data is kept only as anonymous aggregate counts.

We do not sell your data. We do not use a real social graph or your contacts.

5. Third parties

• Google Firebase (authentication, database, hosting, analytics, crash reporting, messaging).
• OpenAI (text moderation only).
• TelemetryDeck (privacy-preserving aggregate analytics, described below).
• GIPHY (only if GIF replies are enabled in a future version; GIFs are fetched from GIPHY with a strict content rating).

5a. TelemetryDeck analytics

Chair Talk uses TelemetryDeck to understand how the app is used in aggregate (for example, how many active users there are, and which features are used). TelemetryDeck is designed for privacy-first analytics:

• No personal data is collected. We send only anonymous event names (for example "post.created") and coarse, non-identifying parameters.
• Your anonymous identifier is hashed on your device before being sent, and we apply an additional app-specific salt so identifiers are further obscured. TelemetryDeck cannot reverse-identify you from the data it receives.
• Data is not used for cross-app tracking, behavioral profiling, or advertising.
• The purpose is solely to understand aggregate usage (active user counts, feature usage) so we can improve the app.

You can learn more about TelemetryDeck's privacy approach at telemetrydeck.com/privacy. You can disable this analytics by contacting us at contact@mightys.dev.

6. Data retention and deletion

You can delete your account in the app at any time. Deleting your account removes your profile and recovery data. Posts and replies you made may be removed or disassociated from your account. Aggregate, anonymous statistics that cannot identify you may be retained.

7. A note on anonymity

Chair Talk is anonymous by design, but no online service is perfectly anonymous. Please do not post information that could identify you or others, or that you are not comfortable being public. Do not share private details about clients or colleagues.

8. Security

We use industry-standard measures (including Google Firebase security rules and access controls) to protect data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

9. Your choices

• Delete your account in-app to remove your data.
• Block users to stop seeing their content (and stop them seeing yours).
• Report content for review.

10. Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above.
