Privacy Policy - WhatsConvo

WhatsConvo is designed with your privacy as a core principle, not an afterthought.

What Data WhatsConvo Processes

WhatsConvo processes WhatsApp backup ZIP files that you explicitly import into the app. These backups may contain:

  • Chat messages (text content, timestamps, sender information)
  • Media files (photos, videos, audio messages, documents)
  • Group chat metadata (group names, participant names)

WhatsConvo only accesses files you choose to import. It does not scan, read, or access any other files on your device.

Where Data Is Stored

All imported data is stored exclusively on your device in the app's private sandbox using SwiftData. This data is protected by iOS and macOS system-level security, including hardware encryption on supported devices. No data is stored on external servers.

What Data Is NOT Collected

WhatsConvo does not collect, transmit, or store any of the following:

  • Usage analytics or behavioural data
  • Crash reports or diagnostic logs
  • Device identifiers or fingerprints
  • Location data
  • Advertising identifiers
  • Any form of usage tracking

iCloud and Cloud Sync

WhatsConvo does not use iCloud, CloudKit, or any cloud synchronisation service. Your data is never uploaded to Apple's servers or any other cloud provider. The app operates entirely offline with no server communication whatsoever.

Permissions

WhatsConvo requests file access permission solely for importing WhatsApp backup ZIP files. This is the only system permission required. The app does not request access to your contacts, camera, microphone, location, or notifications.

Data Deletion

You are in full control of your data at all times:

  • Delete individual chats or media files from within the app
  • Clear your entire archive through the app's settings
  • Uninstalling WhatsConvo permanently removes all associated data from your device

Deleted media files are retained for 7 days in a soft-delete buffer before permanent removal, giving you a chance to recover accidental deletions. You can also trigger immediate permanent deletion from Settings.
