Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 24, 2026  ·  Last updated: August 24, 2026

The short version. WaCha.Net is a watch-party service: you paste a video link, we create a room, and everyone in that room sees the same video at the same time and can chat about it. To make that work we store the room, the video link, and the chat messages sent in it. If you register, we store a username, an email address, and an avatar choice. We do not sell your information, we do not run advertising networks or behavioural trackers on the site, and we do not build profiles of what you watch to market to you.

What we cannot control is the video players themselves. When you watch a YouTube, Rumble, BitChute, or Spotify embed inside a room, that company sees the playback and applies its own privacy policy. See Section 6.

1. Who we are

WaCha.Net (the "Site" or the "Service") is operated by US Support LLC ("we", "us", or "our"), a Nevada limited liability company. This policy explains what information the Service handles, why, and what you can do about it. It applies to https://WaCha.Net and the pages and endpoints served from it.

2. Information we collect

We have tried to keep this list exhaustive rather than vague. Everything the Service stores about you falls into one of the categories below.

2.1 Account information (only if you register)

  • Username: the name shown to other people in rooms and chat.
  • Email address: collected at registration so an account has a unique owner and a way to be reached about the account. We do not send marketing email.
  • Avatar: the illustrated icon you pick from our built-in set. These are files we host; you do not upload a photo of yourself.
  • Display name: an optional alternative name you can set for chat.
  • Password and recovery key: you do not choose a password. We generate a strong password and a recovery key at registration, show them to you once, and offer them as a download. We keep only one-way cryptographic hashes of both. We cannot read, recover, or tell you what your password is.
  • Security question answers: if you choose to set them, the answers are also stored as one-way hashes, not as readable text.
  • Timestamps: when the account was created, when it last logged in, and when it was last active, so we can expire idle sessions and clean up abandoned accounts.

2.2 Room and viewing information

  • Rooms you create: the room name, its short code or URL slug, whether it is private, listed, or password-protected, and who created it.
  • Video links: the URL or video ID you load into a room, and the current playback state (playing or paused, and the current position) so that everyone in the room stays in sync.
  • Room activity: which rooms your session is currently in and when it joined or left, so the viewer list, the "live channels" guide, and presence indicators are accurate.

2.3 Chat messages

Messages you send in a room are stored in our database along with the room, the sending account or guest identity, and a timestamp, so that they can be delivered to the room and shown in its history. Do not put anything in chat that you would not want the other people in that room, or anyone they later invite, to read.

2.4 Technical information

Like any website, our web server writes standard access logs. These typically record the IP address making the request, the time, the page requested, the HTTP status, the referring page, and the browser's user-agent string. These logs exist for operations, troubleshooting, and abuse prevention. The application itself does not attach your IP address to your account, your rooms, or your chat messages.

2.5 What we do not collect

  • We do not ask for or store your real name, address, or phone number.
  • We do not take payment, so we never see card or banking details.
  • We do not access your camera, microphone, or contacts.
  • We do not use advertising networks, third-party analytics suites, or cross-site behavioural trackers on the Site.
  • We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to anyone, for any purpose.

3. Guest and anonymous use

You can start and join rooms without registering. When you do, we create a temporary guest identity: a random name such as Guest_a1b2c, a randomly assigned avatar, and an internal placeholder email that is never a real mailbox. No password is usable on a guest identity and it cannot be logged into.

Guest identities that have been inactive for 24 hours are deleted automatically by a scheduled cleanup job. Chat messages sent by a guest may remain in the room's history after the guest identity itself is removed, shown under the guest name that sent them.

4. How we use information

We use what we collect only to run the Service:

  • To keep video playback synchronised between everyone in a room.
  • To deliver and display chat messages and the list of people currently in a room.
  • To authenticate you, keep you signed in, and let you recover an account with your recovery key.
  • To build the public rooms guide from rooms that have been marked as listed and public.
  • To enforce rate limits, verify that requests come from a real browser session, and defend against spam, abuse, and automated attacks.
  • To diagnose faults and keep the Service available.
  • To comply with the law where we are legally required to.

We do not use your information to build advertising profiles, and we do not perform automated decision-making that produces legal effects for you.

5. Cookies and local storage

We use a single session cookie, set by PHP, that identifies your browser session so the Service can tell your requests apart from someone else's. It is configured as HTTP-only (not readable by scripts), secure (sent only over HTTPS), and SameSite=Lax (not sent along with cross-site form posts). It carries a random session identifier. It does not carry your password or your personal details.

Your browser may also hold small amounts of data locally to remember interface preferences within a room. We do not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Blocking our session cookie will prevent you from logging in, joining rooms, or sending messages, because the Service has no other way to recognise your session.

Third parties whose players or scripts run on our pages may set their own cookies. See the next section.

6. Embedded video and third-party services

This is the part of the Service you should read most carefully, because it is the part we do not control.

WaCha.Net does not host, upload, store, or transcode video. A room works by embedding a player from the platform the video already lives on. Depending on the link you paste, that may be:

  • YouTube (Google LLC)
  • Rumble
  • BitChute
  • Spotify

When that player loads, your browser connects directly to that company. It can see your IP address, what you played, how long you watched, and, if you are signed in to that platform in the same browser, that it was you. That activity is governed by their privacy policy, not ours. We receive no viewing data back from them.

We also rely on a small number of other third-party services to serve the Site:

ServicePurposeWhat it may see
Google reCAPTCHA Distinguishing real users from bots on the login and registration forms Your IP address and interaction signals from those pages, per Google's terms
Google Fonts Serving the site typeface Your IP address and browser when fonts are fetched
Content delivery networks (jsDelivr, Cloudflare CDN) Serving stylesheets, icons, and scripts the interface uses Your IP address and browser when those files are fetched
Our hosting provider Running the servers the Service is delivered from Traffic to and from the Site, as any host does

Links posted in chat may lead anywhere on the internet. Following one takes you to a site with its own practices, and we are not responsible for what happens there.

7. What other people in a room can see

A watch party is a shared space. Other people in a room can see the name and avatar you are using, that you are present in the room, every message you send, and the video that is loaded. If a room is marked public and listed, its name and the video currently playing appear in the public rooms guide and can be seen by anyone visiting the Site. Marking a room private, or setting a room password, limits who can join, but it does not make the room's contents confidential from the people who are in it.

Anyone with a room's link or code may be able to join it, subject to those settings. Treat a room link as something you share deliberately.

8. Disclosure of information

We do not sell your information. We disclose it only in these situations:

  • To other users, by design: as described in Section 7.
  • To service providers: our host and the infrastructure providers listed in Section 6, strictly so they can deliver the Service.
  • For legal reasons: when we are required to by valid legal process, or where disclosure is reasonably necessary to investigate suspected fraud or abuse, to enforce our Terms of Service, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our users, the public, or us.
  • In a business transfer: if the Service is acquired or transferred, information held by it may move with it. Any acquirer would remain bound by the commitments in this policy for information collected under it.

9. How long we keep information

  • Guest identities: deleted automatically after 24 hours of inactivity.
  • Registered accounts: kept while the account exists. Ask us to delete it and we will.
  • Chat messages and room history: kept while the room exists, so people arriving later can read the conversation.
  • Rooms and playback state: kept while the room exists.
  • Server access logs: kept for a limited period for security and troubleshooting, then rotated out in the ordinary course.

10. Security

The Service is served over HTTPS. Passwords, recovery keys, and security question answers are stored only as bcrypt hashes. Database queries use prepared statements. Forms and state-changing requests are protected with CSRF tokens, message sending and login attempts are rate-limited, and session cookies are set HTTP-only, secure, and SameSite=Lax.

That said, no method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You play a part too: keep the credentials file you downloaded at registration somewhere safe, do not reuse it elsewhere, and do not share room passwords with people you do not trust. If you lose both your password and your recovery key, we cannot restore access to the account. That is a consequence of not storing them in readable form.

11. Your choices and rights

You can:

  • Use the Service as a guest and never create an account at all.
  • Change your display name, or ask us to correct account information that is wrong.
  • Ask us for a copy of the information associated with your account.
  • Ask us to delete your account and its associated data.
  • Ask us to remove a specific chat message or a room you created.

Depending on where you live, for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or a US state with a comprehensive privacy law such as California, you may have additional statutory rights to access, correct, delete, port, or restrict processing of your personal information, and to be free from discrimination for exercising them. Because we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising, there is nothing for you to opt out of on that front. To exercise any right, contact us using the details in Section 15; we will verify that the request comes from the account holder before acting on it.

12. Children's privacy

The Service is not directed to children. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to register an account, as set out in our Terms of Service. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

13. International users

We operate from the United States, and our servers are located there. If you use the Service from another country, you are sending your information to the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your own jurisdiction. By using the Service you consent to that transfer and to processing under this policy.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the Service changes. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page, and for material changes we will make a reasonable effort to give notice on the Site. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated policy.
