6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, analyze usage patterns, and improve our services. You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences, though disabling cookies may affect some functionality.

7. Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for users under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information.

8. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in accordance with this privacy policy and applicable data protection laws.

9. Advertising

Chugli is free to use. To keep it free, we show occasional sponsored messages to adult users on the free plan. These are always labelled “Sponsored” and are kept visually separate from Chugli’s replies.

To choose which sponsored message to show, we share the content of that exchange with our advertising partner. We do not share your name, email address or account identifier with them.

We do not show sponsored messages to anyone under 18, and we do not show them on conversations our safety systems identify as sensitive or distressing. Advertisers cannot see your conversation history and cannot influence what Chugli says to you.

If you subscribe to Chugli Bestie, you will not see sponsored messages at all.

Display ads on our website

We are not currently showing third-party display ads on our public web pages. We plan to, and this section explains how it will work when we do.

Display ads are the banner-style ads that sit on a web page. They are separate from the sponsored messages inside chat described above. They appear on our public pages, not inside your conversations, and the content of your chats is never used to choose them. Because they are a different thing, subscribing removes sponsored messages from your chats but does not remove display ads from our public pages.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and to other websites.

You can opt out of personalised advertising from Google at Google Ads Settings. You can opt out of personalised advertising from many other vendors at www.aboutads.info. Opting out does not remove ads — it means they will not be personalised.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. We will notify users of any material changes by posting the updated policy on our service and updating the "Last updated" date.
