# Privacy Policy for WhatsDirect

**Last Updated: July 25, 2026**

This Privacy Policy describes how WhatsDirect ("we", "our", or "us") handles information in the WhatsDirect mobile application (the "App") available on the Google Play Store.

### 1. Information Collection and Use

WhatsDirect is built as an offline-first, light-weight utility.

* **Personal Data:** We do NOT collect, store, transmit, or share any personally identifiable information (such as your phone number, contacts, names, messages, or device details) to any external servers.

* **Direct Chat Logs (History):** Any chat log history you generate by using the app is stored locally and securely on your own device's internal storage using an offline Room Database. We do not have access to this data, and you can delete it at any time from the app's settings or history screens.

### 2. Permissions Used

The App requests the following permissions for operational purposes only:

* **Internet Permission (`android.permission.INTERNET`):** Used solely to trigger and open WhatsApp/WhatsApp Business chat redirection links (e.g., `https://wa.me/`). No data is sent to our servers.

### 3. Third-Party Services

The App redirects you to the official WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business application installed on your device. These third-party services have their own privacy policies. We do not control or take responsibility for the practices or privacy policies of WhatsApp Inc. or Meta.

### 4. Ads & Analytics

This version of the App is completely ad-free and contains no analytics trackers. No user tracking libraries or ad networks are initialized or executed.

### 5. Security

We value your trust in using our App. Since all operations run locally on your device, your communication data remains private and secure from external server leaks. However, please secure your physical device to prevent unauthorized local access to your chat logs.

### 6. Children's Privacy

Our App is not intended to target children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

### 7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
