Questions or requests about your data: support@taskarasystems.com
The text you read in Wallop never leaves your phone and is never saved. Wallop has no ads, no analytics, no tracking and no crash-reporting service, and you never create an account.
Links you share with Wallop. When you share a link and choose Read with Wallop, the app downloads that page (or, for X posts, asks X's public embed service for the post) so it can read it to you. X only shares the start of long posts that way. For those, Wallop asks FxTwitter (fxtwitter.com, a free open-source service that shows X posts in full) for that one post, sending only the post's address. If that fails, it opens the post's page on x.com in a hidden browser view, reads the text, then clears X's cookies. The website, X and FxTwitter see your phone's internet address, as any website you visit does. Wallop doesn't keep the link or the text.
A word count. To give free users 5,000 words a month, the app sends the number of words read (only the number) to Wallop's server, tied to a random ID created when you first open the app. There is no name, email or account.
Your subscription receipt. If you subscribe to Wallop Pro, Google Play gives the app a purchase token. The app sends it to Wallop's server, which checks it with Google so Pro works. Google handles the payment itself; Wallop never sees your name, email or card details.
On your phone: your settings (speed, theme, text size and so on) and this month's word count. Deleting the app removes them.
On Wallop's server (Supabase, hosted in London, UK): the random ID, a word count for each month, and, for subscribers, the Google Play purchase token with its status and expiry date. Like most web services, the server also keeps short-lived technical logs, including internet addresses, for security and troubleshooting.
We keep the random ID, word counts and subscription records while you use Wallop, and delete them when you ask us to (see Your rights), unless we have to keep a subscription record for a legal reason such as a billing dispute. Server logs are deleted automatically after a few days.
Counting words and checking subscriptions is needed to provide the app you asked for (the free allowance and Pro), so we rely on performance of a contract.
Server logs are kept for our legitimate interest in keeping the service secure and working.
We don't use your data for advertising or profiling, and we don't sell or share it.
Supabase hosts Wallop's server and database in London, UK, on our behalf.
Google processes subscription payments under its own privacy policy.
Websites, X and FxTwitter receive requests when you ask Wallop to fetch a link, as above. FxTwitter is run from outside the UK; the only thing it receives is the address of the post you shared.
Under UK data protection law you can ask us for a copy of your data, to correct it, to delete it, to restrict or object to how we use it, or to receive it in a portable format. Because Wallop has no accounts, email support@taskarasystems.com and tell us roughly when you installed the app and, if you subscribe, the order number from your Google Play receipt, so we can find your records. We'll reply within one month.
If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk, 0303 123 1113).
Wallop isn't directed at children under 13 and we don't knowingly collect data from them.
If we change this policy we'll update the date at the top and, for significant changes, tell you in the app.
