The short version
Burn After Chat does not collect, store, or transmit your chat messages. Your messages live only in your browser memory while the page is open. Reloading or deleting the chat removes them completely and permanently.
No accounts
There is no user account system. You do not log in. No personal information is collected or required.
Chat messages
Chat messages are stored only in React component state in your browser. They are never written to localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB, cookies, URL parameters, or any server or database. They disappear when you delete the chat, reload the page, or close the tab.
No backend message storage
The app has no backend. Your messages are never transmitted over the internet. No server receives or processes them.
No AI APIs
The app does not use any AI or machine learning APIs. Fake replies are generated from a local predefined list. Nothing you type is analyzed, classified, or processed by an external service.
Analytics and tracking
No analytics or tracking scripts are included by default. The app is designed to be as private as possible.
Local preferences
The app may use localStorage to store non-sensitive preferences such as your theme choice or whether you have seen the intro. This data does not leave your device.
Contact form
If you use the contact form, your message is submitted to a third-party form service (Web3Forms). Only what you type in the form is transmitted. See Web3Forms' privacy policy for how they handle form submissions.
