Let's get to the point, we investigated and found that the risk for your privacy and anonymity tremendously differs depending on where you show yourself online. Let's start with the least risky cam2cam situation for your privacy and anonymity.
Safest cammodel website for cam to cam:
Livejasmin
This website has the strongest policy to protect guest privacy online. A discipline procedure is in place with various level of sanctions if a cammodel tries to take picture or record the video feed of a user.
First, if a cammodel infringes a clause of the LJ terms of service, she is suspended. Then, in case of renewed breaches, she is banned for life. Thus, a studio can't allow a cammodel to record a guest and take the risk of losing a revenue source.
Most of the Livejasmin cammodels work for a studio.
Livejasmin does not record the video stream of your webcam. In their privacy policy they mention that:
In case you turn on your camera or microphone in private chat, we never record or keep in any way your camera feed or audio. We also do not allow Models to record or capture your camera or audio feeds during private shows. Such action is prohibited on our site.
If you use the Video/Voice Call feature on our site (to call the Model when she is offline), we do not record or process your communication data with the Model. Your communication is private. Please be advised that we are not responsible for your experience or the content of these private calls.
extract of Livejasmin Privacy policy
We have read terms on different cammodel websites (streamate, stripchat, imlive, bongacams) and we haven't found a clause aimed at protecting the personal content of website users.
C2C with a cammodel on a chat application: warning: Danger
Cam2cam on Whatsapp, Messenger, telegram or Skype poses a serious risk in terms of privacy and anonymity. Your female interlocutor is not tied to a term of service when she is chatting on a chat app. She can record your webcam video if she wants it. No website or companies will prevent her from doing so.
Benjamin Griveaux, a French politician was recorded while naked on webcam during a Facebook Messenger chat session by a woman. The video file leaked at some point and ended his political career.
Cammodel websites - independent cammodels:
Independent cammodels can be also dangerous because they have no hierarchy. They can be unpredictable and decide to take a picture of a guest. Some guests are turned on by the idea of being publicly exposed. It is a fetish. Thus, some cammodel websites allow cammodels to take pictures of their guests.
Thus, we advise you to stick to cammodel websites if you want to do a cam2cam in a private chat session, because it is safest solution to protect your privacy and anonymity.
Cammodel websites - studios:
We found out that cammodels who worked for studios were safer for a cam-to-cam than independent cammodels. Time confirmed it.
Sometimes, independent cammodels are cammodels who have been laid off by studios. Studios get rid of troublemakers. There is a reason for it. Studios must preserve a perfect relationship with cammodel websites. If customers of websites complain about several cammodels belonging to the same studio, The said company can't take the risk of being banned by a cammodel website. This brings us to the second point.
Studios carefully follow the terms of service related to camming and enforce it.
So, let's take real life examples. The terms of Livejasmin prohibit studios and cammodels from recording video / audio and text from their customers. The studios do everything in their power to prevent cammodels from recording video feeds of guests.
The computer on which the cammodel operates is owned by the studio. This means that the cammodel does not bring the computer home after an online session. These computers are locked just like Office PC. Cammodels can't install video recording applications on these computers.
So, as you can see, when a cammodel works for a studio, the risk is much less important than with independent cammodels.
Let's recap:
risk almost equal to zero => Cammodels of studio, especially on Livejasmin
Somewhat risky => independent cammodels on adult chat websites
VERY RISKY => women chatting on Skype, Telegram, Facebook messenger, Whatsapp...
Before we start, I advise you to know what you want to do with a cammodel in her private chatroom. Do you want her to do a show? Do you want her to answer questions? Do you want her to show something in particular? The more you will know what to do and the most your spending are going to be cost-efficient.
Never start with an audio chat in a private chat room
Audio chats are more expensive than text chat. Prefer to start with a text chat and then move to an audio chat if you are satisfied by the cammodel. Before entering a private chatroom, cammodels usually look the same. But then, we noticed tremendous differences of behavior between cammodels in private chat sessions. You can't predict how good or bad a private chat session will be before you enter one.
Prepare your sentences in advance
I suggest opening a google drive account if you haven't one. Then, create a spreadsheet and prepare your sentences in advance. to quickly copy and paste your sentence, just tap on the cell of the sentence, and then tap three times. This will select your sentence. Then, copy (CTRL+C) and paste it (CTRL+V) into the messaging area of Livejasmin.
This will help you to save time. At the beginning of a conversation, the sentences related to introduction are always the same. Also, if you want her to do something special, your request would be always the same. If you want to speak about a topic, you can store the sentences related to this topic in your spreadsheet.
Adapt yourself
If you feel that an audio chat is worth it, go for it. Conversely, if you feel that it is not necessary don't go for it. I know that some livejasmin users systematically go for a cam2cam. I know it looks handy, but you may get disappointed quickly by following this route. The performance of cammodels varies a lot from one cammodel to another. Since cam2cam are more expensive than text chat, you may quickly spend your money and end up being unsatisfied and frustrated. Meanwhile, there is a wide choice of cammodels on livejasmin. Start with a text chat to evaluate the cammodel, then activate the audio chat when you feel it and then, activate the webcam for a cam2cam.
The cammodel website stripchat allows you to hide cammodels that you don't want to see on the main page. You just have to tap/click on the upper left corner of a thumbnail on the icon with 3 dots. A little popup window will appear. Then, just click/tap on "not interested". This will hide the thumbnail of this webcam model on the main page and you will not see her thumbnail again.
You can still access the page of the cammodel if you remember her nickname.
Hide cammodel messages
Sometimes, you receive annoying messages from cammodels like: "hello babe i am ready for you. I want to talk to you know. I m hot now. Hello Dear, I am only, let's have fun." These messages sent by cammodels are pure spam and you can hide these messages! Click/tap on the 3 dots at the top of the messaging area, next to the cammodel nickname.
annoying spam from a cammodel
You have three options. Either you can ban the model, Hide in message requests or delete the conversation. So, when you hide messages, she may write to you but you will her messages. When you ban the model, she can't write to you but you can still see the conversation.
I get rid of bad cammodels by hiding their thumbnails and their message requests on stripchat. Thus, I don't see them anymore and I don't need to remember that I have already been deceived by a cammodel in particular. Banning the model also helps to remember that if you decided to ban a cammodel there is a good reason for it. There are many cammodels on stripchat and turnover is high. There are always sexy interesting newcomers that will make you forget any bad user experiences. You don't need to focus to a woman and get attached to her. On stripchat, there are bad and good cammodels. Explore and take the time to find the one who fits your needs.
Sometimes, you may enter a public chatroom of a cammodel to discover that you can only hear music without any other sound. You can't hear the voice of the cammodel or any noise of the room from where the cammodel operates. This is due to the fact that someone "plugged" a mp3 player into the audio input rather than the microphone of the cammodel. This is not a good sign.
Most of the time, it shows that the said cammodel does not speak english. Therefore, they replace the microphone sound with music. In other words, if you decide to go for a private chat session with such a cammodel, she will not speak aloud to you and she may even use a translator.
In the past, we also noticed that this technique was used by people who played the video recording of a cammodel. This meant that the video wasn't live. The scammers play the video of a woman, they replace the audio with music and then use a bot to send text messages from time to time. It's been a while that I haven't seen this behaviour but I already stumbled upon this scam in the past.
Whatever the intent behind it, when someone switches off its microphone, there is a scam behind it. Even if the cammodel does not understand english well, there always should be ambient sound in the room.
Livejasmin is a great cammodel website. The cammodels look beautiful and they speak english well. However, it can be now quite expensive to chat with a livejasmin cammodel nowadays in a cam2cam because Livejasmin has decided to charge separately the audio chat and the video chat. So, it may starts at 3.99 credits per minute for text chat , then 4.99 credits per minute for an audio chat and then 7.99 for a cam2cam chat session. Be aware that alternatives to livejasmin may not provide the same cammodel quality than on Livejasmin. Compared to Livejasmin, on these cammodel websites below, you need to dedicate more time to look for a cammodel that will match your expectations
Imlive provides the same cam2cam feature but they don't ask guests to pay an additional fee for audio chat and cam2cam chat. Consequently, cam2cam and audio chat sessions are much cheaper on Imlive than on Livejasmin. By the way, on Imlive, you may decide to show yourself on the webcam, audio chat or only chat via text messages.

Soulcams is another cheap alternative to livejasmin. This german website also provides the same features than livejasmin like text chat, audio chat and cam2cam. Not all cammodels have a public chatroom and you must often rely on the pictures of the cammodel to make a choice. Also, some cammodels aren't able to audio chat as they don't speak english well enough.

Camcontact is also a cammodel website that allows guests to text chat or audio chat with beautiful women. Unfortunately, many camcontact cammodels don't understand and speak english. Therefore, even if the feature is available, audio chat is not often used on camcontact. If you visit camcontact, be ready to use google translate to convert your text in Russian in order to communicate with the cammodels. While language barrier is a major problen on this website, you can find beautiful women on camcontact.
