ExportChat Privacy Policy

Last updated: 5 November 2026

ExportChat turns the chats you choose into PDF, CSV and text files. It was built so your conversations stay on your iPhone.

In short

• Your chats never leave your iPhone: their messages, names, photos and files are never uploaded.

• No account, no ads, no tracking. Only anonymous usage statistics, which you can turn off.

• Your chats are read and stored only on your iPhone.

What ExportChat handles on your iPhone

• The chats you import: an export file from WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger, Instagram or LINE, messages passed on by Apple's Shortcuts app, or screenshots you pick.

• Text in screenshots is read on your iPhone with Apple's built-in text recognition. Nothing is sent to a server.

• Imported chats, with their photos and files, are saved in ExportChat's private storage on your iPhone. ExportChat also keeps the original export file as you imported it (up to 200 MB) with its name and SHA-256 fingerprint, for your documents and evidence packs. Deleting the chat deletes this copy too.

Permissions

• Photos: you pick screenshots in Apple's photo picker. ExportChat receives only the pictures you select and can't see the rest of your library.

• Messages: ExportChat can't read the Messages app. If you use the ExportChat shortcut, Apple's Shortcuts app asks for your permission and passes only the conversation you choose to ExportChat.

Files you export

PDF, CSV and text files are created on your iPhone. They leave it only when you share or save them yourself, for example by AirDrop, email or the Files app.

Purchases

Subscriptions are processed by Apple. ExportChat never sees your payment details: Apple only tells the app whether your subscription is active.

ExportChat also records purchases with RevenueCat, a subscription service. It receives an anonymous app ID and the purchase details from Apple (product, price, dates), never your name, your chats or your payment details. Its privacy policy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy

Usage statistics

To improve the app, ExportChat counts anonymous events with Firebase Analytics, by Google: screens opened, the chat app you import from, export formats, subscription screen views and errors. It never sends your messages, names, chat titles or files, and it doesn't collect the advertising identifier. You can turn it off in Settings › Privacy. At launch the app also downloads a small settings file from our server; nothing about you is sent with it. Google's policy: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy

Apple Search Ads

If you installed ExportChat after tapping an Apple Search Ads ad, Apple's AdServices framework gives the app a token naming the campaign and keyword. It is sent to RevenueCat to measure the ad. Apple provides it without asking for tracking permission.

Backups

Chats saved in ExportChat can be included in your iPhone's iCloud or computer backups, depending on your backup settings. These backups are managed by Apple and by you.

Crash reports

If you chose in iOS Settings to share analytics with app developers, Apple may send us anonymous crash reports. They contain technical information about the crash.

Deleting your data

You can delete one chat, or all chats from ExportChat's settings. Deleting the app removes everything ExportChat saved on your iPhone.

Children

ExportChat isn't directed at children. Because it collects no personal data, it collects none from children either.

Other people's messages

Your chats contain messages from other people. Handle them with care, and follow the law where you live when you share exported files.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be published here with a new date.
