These guidelines are for law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and civil litigants seeking records from KinkChatRooms, operated by Skyline Online LLC, a New Mexico limited liability company.
They describe what our systems actually hold, how long they hold it, what legal process we require, and — just as usefully — what we don't have. Nothing here waives any right or objection, ours or a user's.
Send all legal process, emergency requests, and preservation requests to legal@kinkchatrooms.com — that address is the only channel we act on for this.
This is not a public emergency line and it is not monitored around the clock.
If you're a member of the public rather than an investigator, you want a different page: content removal goes through Content Removal and everything else through contact@kinkchatrooms.com — writing to the legal address will only slow you down.
We disclose user records when we're served with valid legal process issued under U.S. law. As a rule:
Send it as a PDF from an official domain, signed and dated, with a return address and a direct contact. We don't require a particular form.
Requests from outside the United States need to come through a U.S. court, by mutual legal assistance treaty or letter rogatory. We serve users in the United States, Canada, and New Zealand, but the company and its records are in the U.S. and U.S. process is what reaches them.
An informal email asking for user data is not process and we won't act on it. The one exception is section 5.
These periods are enforced automatically by scheduled jobs. Once a record is past its window it's deleted, and we can't produce what no longer exists. The same table is published to users in our Privacy Policy section 6.
| Record | How long we keep it |
|---|---|
| Connection records (IP address, source port, device identifier, user-agent, username, email, sign-in method, and a frozen age/gender/city snapshot) | 12 months |
| Account profile (username, email, gender, city, year of birth, bio, photos) | Until the user deletes the account |
| Guest accounts and everything attached to them | 24 hours after sign-up or last activity, then permanently deleted |
| Room messages | The most recent 500 messages per room; older ones are deleted continuously. There is no fixed time limit |
| Private messages | Until a user deletes them, or until either account is deleted. We do not delete them on a schedule |
| Messages that a user deletes | 24 hours, then permanently erased — unless the message is attached to a moderation record |
| Uploaded media | As long as the message it belongs to; deleted with it |
| Reports and the evidence captured with them | 30 days after the report is filed |
| Moderation records | 90 days |
| Notifications | 90 days |
| Ban records (email address and device identifier) | Kept indefinitely |
| Username change history, including the IP address used | Kept indefinitely |
| Records of blocked child sexual abuse material (hashes and account details, never the image) | Kept indefinitely |
| Login links / email-change links / sessions | 15 minutes / 7 days / 14 days |
One connection record per sign-in, not per action. We write a record when a user authenticates. There is no per-message IP log, and messages themselves carry a server timestamp in UTC but no address.
Uploaded images are hashed and checked against a database of known child sexual abuse material before anything is stored. A match blocks the upload — the file is never written to our storage — and we keep the hashes and the account details. We cooperate with law enforcement and child protection organizations on those records.
This section exists to save you a request. None of the following is data we hold and later delete — it is data the Service never creates.
Where we believe in good faith that there is an emergency involving a risk of death or serious physical injury, we may disclose the information we hold about it without waiting for process. That's a judgment call we make case by case, not an entitlement.
Write to legal@kinkchatrooms.com with “emergency disclosure request” as the subject line, and put in the first paragraph:
Say it's an emergency in the subject line. We don't staff a 24-hour desk, and a request that reads like routine correspondence will be handled like routine correspondence.
We accept preservation requests at legal@kinkchatrooms.com — identify the account precisely, state the records and the time period, and say what process is coming.
Preservation here is manual. There is no automatic hold, and we don't commit to a turnaround.
Being straight about it is more useful to you than a promise: nothing in the Service suspends a scheduled deletion, so preservation means someone copying records out by hand, case by case, and what's already gone is gone.
Send it early. Room messages are evicted by volume rather than by age, and deleted messages are erased within 24 hours. A preservation request that arrives after the fact can't bring any of it back.
The more of this you give us, the less of it we have to guess:
If you're working from an IP address, bring the source port. Carrier-grade NAT means one address can be shared by hundreds of subscribers at the same moment. Our connection records store the source port for exactly this reason, and an address on its own — without a port and a precise timestamp — identifies no one in particular.
A single connection-record export is capped at 10,000 records, so a request framed as “all activity” returns a truncated report. Bound the period instead.
Notice to the user: we don't notify an account holder where the law or a court forbids it. Outside those cases we make no commitment either way.
We may update this page. When we do, we change the “Last updated” date at the top. The retention periods it states track what the Service actually enforces — if a period changes, this page and the Privacy Policy change with it.
