It is sad that an initiative to create a good, free chat service — somewhere it should be pleasant to spend time — is being abused. Because of suspected abuse the chat has therefore become more restrictive, as illegal behaviour is not tolerated.
The following changes have been introduced:
Thank you for your understanding.
Hyggechat is a Danish online chat platform with many public and private chat rooms, which you can browse in the room overview. The rooms are for adults with different interests. No account or email needed: a chat without registration, optimised for both mobile and desktop. It is 100% free to use. If you are looking for an alternative to Gratischat.dk or an alternative to Superchat.dk, you have come to the right place.

Welcome to hyggechat.
By using the chat you accept the following terms:
The chat is a public communication platform where users can exchange messages with one another. All content is generated by the users themselves, and we accept no responsibility for the accuracy, legality or content of users' statements.
The chat is moreover created by an independent private individual – not by a company or an association. The idea arose because the person behind the service was tired of chat sites where payments, donations and unnecessarily intrusive moderation often got in the way of good conversation.
The goal was therefore to create a simple, open alternative where everyone can take part. That is why all features on the chat are freely available – without registration, without payment, without donations, without hidden limitations and without unnecessary or untimely intervention by moderators.
In return, everyone who uses the chat is expected to behave decently and show respect – both towards each other and towards the private individual who has voluntarily made this chat service available free of charge, at their own expense and in their own time.
The chat has no central moderation. The community therefore relies on self-regulation, mutual respect and personal responsibility. If a user behaves inappropriately, you are expected to use the chat's hide function and spam-reporting function rather than escalating the situation. In this way everyone helps preserve the cosy, open atmosphere this chat was created for.
Spam reporting is part of this self-regulation: if a user receives spam reports from 5 different users, that user is automatically and temporarily excluded from the chat. The exclusion applies to both the chat name and the IP address.
Messages are stored only temporarily on the server, for as long as they are needed to run the chat. No permanent archiving, history or backup of your messages is made.
Only the most recent public messages in each room are kept. Older messages are deleted automatically as new ones arrive.
Direct messages are stored only while you are logged in and are deleted automatically when you log off. They are additionally protected with end-to-end encryption when both parties' browsers support it, so that only the sender and recipient can read them.
Images can only be sent in direct messages and are deleted automatically no later than 5 minutes after upload. While they are on the server they are stored in an encrypted form, so that only the sender and recipient can see them.
It is not permitted to:
Violation may result in immediate exclusion from the service.
Abuse and inappropriate behaviour can be reported to abuse@hyggechat.dk.
The chat is run voluntarily, so there may be a response time on enquiries (see section 12).
We cannot guarantee the accuracy of information shared by users. Any use of information from the chat is at your own risk.
This means that, as a platform, the chat is neither the publisher, editor nor co-responsible for the content that users themselves provide. Responsibility for the content lies solely with the user who created or shared it.
This disclaimer also follows from Article 6 of the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 of the European Parliament and of the Council). As a provider of a storage (hosting) service, the chat is, under this provision, not liable for content that users store and share, provided that the service has no actual knowledge of illegal content and, once such knowledge is obtained, promptly removes the content or disables access to it. If you become aware of illegal content, it can be reported to abuse@hyggechat.dk.
Please note that the chat is run voluntarily, so there may be a response time on enquiries (see section 12).
The service is provided "as is". We do not guarantee uninterrupted access or error-free operation and reserve the right to change, suspend or close the service without notice.
No user profiles, names, email addresses or other personal data are collected as part of using the chat.
On login, however, the time of login, the chosen chat name and the user's IP address are recorded in a log file on the basis of legitimate interest (cf. GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). The information is therefore used solely to ensure the operation of the service, to prevent and investigate abuse and to comply with the law. The log is not shared with third parties unless required by applicable law or at the request of a competent authority. Log information is retained for no more than 30 days and is then deleted automatically.
The chat itself sets only one cookie. In addition, Google's measurement tool (the Google tag, gtag.js, including Google Analytics and Google Ads) may set cookies. Cookies can be blocked in your browser's settings.
A technically necessary session cookie from hyggechat with a random session ID that keeps you logged in during your visit. It is set with HttpOnly and SameSite=Lax (plus Secure over HTTPS) and is deleted when you close the browser or the session expires.
Set by the Google tag to measure usage and advertising. The Google tag sends a signal on page view and one when a chat session ends (with the session's duration and the number of logins from that browser). In this connection Google may set further cookies of its own and process, among other things, your IP address on Google's own terms (see policies.google.com/privacy). Chat names and message content are not sent to Google.
The chat stores a few pieces of information directly in your browser via local storage (localStorage/sessionStorage) – your own settings such as dark theme and the display of users and messages, as well as the encryption key for your direct messages.
Local storage is not cookies. The information stays on your device and is not automatically sent to the server; the private encryption key never leaves your browser. If you use the chat on several hyggechat addresses (e.g. a subdomain) in the same browser, the encryption key is shared between them directly in the browser. You can delete it by clearing the browser's data, but you will then lose access to previously encrypted messages.
Registering a chat name is optional – the chat can still be used anonymously. If you register your chat name, it is reserved with a password so that others cannot log in with it.
The password is never stored as you write it, but is converted into an unreadable code that cannot be reversed. Only this code is kept – together with the chat name, the chosen gender, your year of birth (and thus your age), the time of last use and, if you have voluntarily provided a postcode, the postcode and the associated city. These are the only user data preserved between sessions, and they are stored only temporarily on the server.
A registration is deleted automatically if the chat name is not used (login or a sent message) for 24 hours, after which the name is released again. There is no account, email or recovery of a forgotten password; if you forget it, you can wait until the registration expires and register the name anew. You are yourself responsible for keeping your password safe and should not reuse one from other services.
The chat is only for users aged 18 and over. By participating you expressly confirm that you are at least 18 years old and have the right to enter into agreements.
If you are under 18, access to the platform is strictly prohibited. Any minor's access is closed immediately upon discovery, and the matter may be reported to the relevant authorities.
Users are encouraged not to share personal, sensitive or confidential information in public or private conversations.
Constructive feedback that can make the chat better is always welcome. If you have suggestions, ideas or comments, they can be sent to info@hyggechat.dk.
The chat is run on a voluntary basis by a private individual as a hobby and side activity. Please therefore be aware that there may be a response time on all enquiries. They are, however, answered as quickly as possible.
In the Webcam room, users can send each other a webcam request. If it is accepted, a video call opens in a new window via the external third-party service MiroTalk P2P (by default p2p.mirotalk.com). The audio and video themselves are sent peer-to-peer between the participants, but the establishment of the connection (signalling) is handled by the third-party service on its own terms and privacy policy, which are outside hyggechat's control.
The camera and microphone are activated and controlled solely in the third-party service's window – hyggechat does not get access to your camera or microphone stream. Participating in and sharing webcam is at your own risk. Do not share offensive, illegal or abusive material, and do not record others without consent. A webcam request expires automatically after 10 seconds, and the video address for a call is random and known only to the two participants.
These terms may be changed at any time. The version in force at any given time will be available on the website.
