Privacy

We collect as little as we can get away with. Joining a room is anonymous — no email, no phone number, no tracking across sessions. Hosting an account requires email + password (or a Google sign-in).

For account holders: your email, display name, the rooms you’ve created, and authentication metadata from our secure identity provider. For room attendees: a randomly generated browser-local token, an optional nickname, and the messages you post in the room you joined.

We don’t sell your data. We don’t use it to train AI models. We don’t share it with advertisers. We don’t track you across other sites.

Room content is ephemeral. When a host closes or deletes a room, the messages, polls, photos and reactions associated with it are deleted. Account records persist until you delete the account. For paid events, Stripe payment histories are retained for 7 years for tax and accounting compliance purposes, even after account deletion.

We use a single first-party token in localStorage to keep your anonymous attendee identity stable across page loads inside one event. Account holders also get a secure authentication cookie.

We run on industry-standard cloud infrastructure and global edge networks. Our infrastructure providers are fully GDPR-compliant.

You can download a copy of your personal data, or permanently delete your account and all associated rooms, at any time directly from your account dashboard. You may also request assistance by emailing privacy@shouts.live. If you’re in the EU/UK or California, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
