Privacy and safety, in plain words.

1. 01

   One-to-one chats only. No feed, no groups, no public profiles, no ads.

2. 02

   People find you only by your exact username.

3. 03

   Not a place to meet strangers: there are no suggestions and no search by name.

Sending your words to AI for translation needs your explicit permission. You choose when you sign up, and you can change your mind in Settings at any time. Without it, nothing you write or say goes to AI: Talkalike works as a plain messenger and the other person sees your original words.

Without it, your new photos, videos and voice messages are not checked for explicit content either, so they are shown blurred or locked: the other person opens them with one tap if their age is verified, or verifies their age first.

1. 01

   Our server is hosted by OVHcloud in Gravelines, France.

2. 02

   Messages and voice messages are translated by AI models through OpenRouter, hosted by DeepInfra and CoreWeave in the United States and Nebius in the Netherlands, with xAI as a backup and for calls.

3. 03

   ElevenLabs turns speech into text and reads voice messages aloud; Cartesia speaks translations in calls.

4. 04

   We ask OpenRouter and xAI for zero data retention, we ask ElevenLabs to delete the transcript and voice of each voice message as soon as we have it, and we have opted out of ElevenLabs and Cartesia using our data for training.

5. 05

   ElevenLabs may keep debugging and moderation logs, and logs of call speech, under its own terms.

The Privacy Notice lists every provider, what it receives and where.

Talkalike is not end-to-end encrypted. Everything is encrypted on its way between your device and our server. Photos, videos, voice messages, files and backups are also encrypted when stored. Message text is stored without a separate layer of encryption.

1. 01

   Delete a message for yourself, or for both of you.

2. 02

   Send photos and videos that can be viewed once, or for a set time.

3. 03

   Read, correct, delete or switch off the chat memory.

4. 04

   Delete your account in Settings: the messages you sent are deleted from our server, on both sides.

We do not show ads, we do not sell your data and we do not use analytics trackers, in the app or on this website. This website sets no cookies and loads nothing from other sites.

1. 01

   Talkalike is for adults. Everyone confirms they are 18 or over when they sign up.

2. 02

   Explicit photos, videos and voice messages are shown blurred or locked. To open or send them, you verify your age once with Yoti; we keep only the result, never a photo or a document.

3. 03

   Report a message or a person from the chat, and block anyone. Reports are reviewed by our team, and reports of child sexual abuse or intimate images come first.

4. 04

   Anyone can complain to us, with or without an account, through our complaints form.
