By using noctok, you accept these terms of use. noctok is a personal project, designed and run by one person. The service lets you talk (chat) one-on-one around a topic (#tag), with no public wall or profile to curate. Some features (noctok2, noctok3, noctok4) are paid, purchased for a fixed term of 1, 3, or 6 months (one-time payment, no automatic renewal). If several purchases and/or free plans are active at once, only the highest level applies to the account; the others remain valid until they end, with no refund. Each purchase of a paid plan requires explicit confirmation of these terms of sale. In case of account suspension, ban, or deactivation, no refund will be due for an ongoing paid plan. Referral is free: a person who signs up with your link counts as a referral once active. At 25, 50 and 100 referrals, you unlock 1 month of noctok2, noctok3 and noctok4 respectively, once each, to activate whenever you like if your current level is lower. The gift card is a free game, no purchase necessary: one card per hour, or after 20 or 40 minutes if a prize shortens the wait. The prize is drawn at random (a free tag suggestion, noctok2, noctok3 or noctok4 for 1 day, 1 week or 1 month, 20 or 40 minutes off the wait or nothing). The tutorial card is not drawn at random: it always gives a free tag suggestion. A prize already covered by an active plan is replaced by 40 minutes off the wait. Referral and gift card rewards have no cash value and cannot be exchanged or refunded. They may change, as may their rules. Signup is reserved for people aged 15 and over (Art. 8 GDPR). Measures to protect minors are in place, in line with Article 28 of the EU Digital Services Act (DSA) and Article 227-24 of the French Criminal Code: 18+ content is automatically hidden from minors, and an alert is shown when an adult and a minor are chatting together, without ever revealing the exact age. You're responsible for the information you provide at signup and for keeping your credentials confidential. Any illegal, harassing, hateful content, or content contrary to public decency, is forbidden. A reporting system lets you flag issues; in case of abuse, an account or content may be suspended or removed without notice, with no refund of an ongoing paid plan. A moderation decision can be appealed within 7 days: Appeal form. noctok is provided "as is", with no guarantee of continuous availability: the service may be interrupted, changed, or discontinued, in particular for maintenance. Our liability is limited to what the law requires. These terms may change; any update will be announced in the app. They are governed by French law, and any dispute falls under the jurisdiction of the French courts.

noctok only collects the data necessary for the service to work: your email address, your username, your password (hashed, never stored in plain text), your date of birth, your gender and profile description (optional), your profile photo, the messages and reports tied to your use of the app, as well as your IP address (used to limit abusive attempts on sensitive actions: login, signup, password reset, contact, appeal, preregistration). During preregistration, only your email address is collected, with no account created. It's used to grant you the preregistration perk if you create your account within 7 days of opening (noctok2 offered free until end of 2026). After that period, your preregistration email is automatically deleted. The tags you can optionally submit after confirmation are anonymous and optional: they aren't linked to any email or account. This data is used to create and secure your account, verify you meet the minimum age requirement and protect minors (18+ content hidden, an alert shown when an adult and a minor are chatting, without ever revealing the exact age), make the chat between users work, handle reports in case of abuse, and send you noctok news by mail if you chose to (you can unsubscribe from noctok and in every mail). No data is sold or shared for commercial or advertising purposes. It's kept for as long as your account is active, then deleted 7 days after account deletion (extended while a pending report is being handled). Only your username, email, date of birth, and password (not stored in plain text) are then kept for 5 years under the legal obligation of hosting providers (LCEN). If you're banned, your username and email (not stored in plain text) are kept indefinitely to prevent their reuse. If a report leads to a moderation decision (suspension or ban), the reported content and related counters are kept in an internal archive for 7 days after the decision, to justify it and handle any appeal. After that period, this archive is deleted automatically. noctok only uses cookies strictly necessary for it to work (session, login) - no advertising cookies or third-party trackers. Under GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, and object to your data, as well as the right to lodge a complaint with the CNIL (the French data protection authority). No data protection authority filing is required since the GDPR reform. To exercise these rights: Contact form
