Terms & Privacy

Last updated: 11 November 2026. Plain-language summary of how The Void works.

What The Void is

The Void is an anonymous chat site. You can chat one-to-one with a stranger, join a shared room called The Nexus, or chat with Void Bot, an automated program that is always labeled as a bot. There are no accounts, emails or passwords. The Void is intended for adults and is not meant for children.

What we handle and how long it lasts

• Messages are passed between users in real time. They are kept in the server's memory only. For one-to-one chats, the last 15 messages are held in memory while the chat is open so they can be reviewed if someone is reported. They are deleted when the chat ends.
• The Nexus keeps the last 50 messages in memory so new people can see context. They disappear when the server restarts or an admin clears them.
• Photos you send are uploaded to our server and are viewable by anyone who has the link. They are kept until the server restarts or an admin deletes them.
• Music sharing uses short previews from Apple's iTunes search. Your search words are sent to Apple.
• Your IP address is used temporarily to limit abuse (rate limits, bans, mutes, blocks). Bans and mutes are kept in memory and expire. We do not build a long-term log of IP addresses.
• On your device we store simple settings such as theme, sound on/off and a daily photo counter.

Moderation and monitoring

To keep people safe, administrators can view messages and photos live, including one-to-one chats. When you report a user, a copy of the recent messages is sent to the administrators. Administrators may delete content, mute, ban or end chats. Words and links may be filtered automatically.

Rules

• No harassment, threats, hate or bullying.
• No sexual content involving minors, ever. This is illegal and will be removed and may be reported to the authorities.
• No nudity or sexual content in photos you send to people who did not ask for it.
• No spam, scams or malicious links, and no sharing other people's personal information.
• No illegal content or activity.

Use the Report button in a chat, or the flag next to a message in The Nexus. Use Block to stop being matched with someone.

Other things to know

• Anonymous does not mean untraceable. Do not share personal details with strangers.
• The Void is provided as is, with no guarantee that it will be available or error free.
• The site is hosted with Cloudflare and Render, which may process connection data such as IP addresses under their own policies.
• We may change these terms. Continuing to use The Void means you accept the current version.
