Security & Privacy

General

F-Chat Rising does not collect any personal information about you, your computer, or anything else, other than what is necessary to connect you to F-Chat.

No data about your sessions, chats, characters, passwords, et cetera, is shared with the F-Chat Rising developers.

Connectivity

F-Chat Rising connects to the following hosts:

  • f-list.net – FChat, FList, profiles, character search, authentication, character images, etc.
  • github.com – F-Chat Rising update checks
  • easylist.to, adblockplus.org, adtidy.org, githubusercontent.com – ad blocker updates
  • xariah.net – eicon updates

Your character name, password, messages, and any other private data is only sent to f-list.net; the other services are queried anonymously. Your IP address will be exposed to all of these services.

Link Previews

When the 'Link Preview' feature is used, F-Chat Rising will connect to the URL being previewed and any other hosts that are linked from the page being previewed.

  • F-Chat Rising uses @cliqz/adblocker to block as many ads and trackers as possible.
  • Using the Link Preview feature will expose you to similar risks that opening a link in your web browser does.
  • If you are concerned about your security or privacy, consider disabling the link preview feature in F-Chat Rising settings.
  • In some cases F-Chat Rising uses 'proxy services' that help formatting Link Previews. For example:
    • Twitter previews are proxied through api.fxtwitter.com
    • YouTube previews are proxied through yewtu.be

High-Quality Portraits

When 'High-Quality Portraits' feature is used, F-Chat Rising may connect to the following additional domains:

  • iili.io
  • e621.net
  • imgur.com
  • freeimage.host
  • redgifs.com

If you are concerned about your security or privacy, consider disabling the high quality portraits feature in F-Chat Rising settings.

Locally Stored Data

F-Chat Rising stores data on your computer. This data contains conversation logs, settings, cache, and other information such as custom dictionary words. By default, the data is stored in:

Operating System Data Path
Windows %AppData%\fchat
MacOS ~/Library/Application Support/fchat
Linux ~/.config/fchat

F-List account usernames and passwords are stored in a secure datastore provided by your operating system. For more information, see electron safeStorage.
