Privacy Policy
Your Privacy, Our Priority
We built FreeYap with privacy by design. Here's exactly what we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect you.
Your conversations are yours. We don't store them, sell them, or use them for anything beyond connecting you with someone to talk to.
Privacy isn't a feature at FreeYap — it's the foundation.
