1. Introduction

Whats Link ("the App") is a professional communication and productivity utility developed by AntoTech ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use the App. Whats Link is designed for business owners, marketers, and individuals to streamline WhatsApp interactions through custom link generation, QR codes, shareable business pages, a product catalog, history management (The Vault), and language translation services.

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. Core generator tools operate primarily with local processing, ensuring that your message history remains exclusively on your device. Optional features that are designed to be shared with other people — such as Business Pages and the Product Catalog — are stored on secure cloud servers so that the links and QR codes you create continue to work for anyone you share them with, on any device.

2. Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide

Link Generation Data: When you enter phone numbers and compose messages for the standard link generator, the data is processed locally to generate standard wa.me URLs. This data is not transmitted to or stored on our servers.

The Vault (History): The App allows you to maintain a local "Vault" of your generated links and contacts. This data is stored 100% locally on your device using localStorage. We do not have access to your Vault or client lists.

Business Pages: If you create a Business Page to share with your customers, the information you enter (business name, description, logo image, and the contact details for the buttons you add — such as phone numbers, social media handles, website addresses, and email addresses) is stored on our cloud database (Google Firebase / Firestore) so that the page loads correctly for anyone who opens your shared link or scans your QR code, on any device.

Product Catalog (Pro feature): If you enable a Product Catalog on a Business Page, the products you add (name, price, description, and product photos) are likewise stored on our cloud database and cloud storage (Google Firebase / Firestore and Storage), for the same reason: so customers can browse your catalog and see it correctly regardless of their device.

Shortened Links: If you use the "Shorten" feature, the destination URL is stored on our own cloud database (Google Firebase / Firestore) under a short, randomly generated code, so that opening the short link redirects to the correct destination.

Email Signatures: HTML signature generation is performed locally within your device's browser environment.

B. Hardware Access & Translation Processing

Microphone & Voice Dictation: The App requests access to your microphone to allow voice-to-text dictation. Audio is processed into text in real-time. We do not record, save, or transmit your voice recordings to any server.

Translation Services (MyMemory API): If you use the "Translate" feature, the text of your message is sent to the MyMemory API to perform the translation. This is a public translation service. No personal identifiers (such as phone numbers or user IDs) are sent to the translation provider along with the text.

C. Third-Party Services & Identifiers

Anonymous Cloud Identity (Google Firebase Authentication): To securely associate a Business Page or Product Catalog with its creator, the App creates an anonymous identifier for your device the first time you use one of these features. This identifier is not linked to your name, email, or any other personally identifiable information unless you separately provide it elsewhere in the App.

Advertising (Google AdMob): The App displays ads via Google AdMob. AdMob may collect device identifiers (e.g., Advertising ID), IP address, and app usage data to serve personalized or non-personalized ads. Where required by applicable law (for example, for users located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom), the App presents a consent management dialog before requesting ads, allowing you to choose whether personalized advertising is permitted.

In-App Purchases (Whats Link Pro): If you purchase Whats Link Pro, the transaction is processed entirely by Google Play Billing. We do not collect, see, or store your payment card details. We only receive confirmation from Google Play that a valid purchase was made, which we use to unlock Pro features on your device.

Local Preferences: We use local storage to remember your settings, such as language preference (English/Spanish), theme (Dark/Light), and last used country codes.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information solely to:

● Provide core functionalities like link generation and QR code creation.

● Host and display your Business Pages and Product Catalog so that they work correctly for anyone you share them with.

● Resolve shortened links to their correct destination.

● Facilitate text translations through external translation providers.

● Maintain your private "Vault" records for your convenience.

● Unlock Whats Link Pro features after a verified purchase.

● Display relevant advertisements through the AdMob network, in accordance with your consent choices where applicable.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell or rent your information. However, we interact with the following third-party services necessary for the App's functionality:

Google Firebase (Firestore, Storage, and Authentication): To host Business Pages, Product Catalog data and images, and shortened links, and to anonymously associate this content with its creator.

MyMemory API: For processing text translations.

Google AdMob: For managing and displaying advertisements, including consent management for applicable regions.

Google Play Billing: For processing Whats Link Pro purchases.

Cordova Plugins: Used for system-level functions like Social Sharing (to share links, QR codes, and CSV exports) and InAppBrowser (to open URLs and WhatsApp in the native browser).

5. Data Security

Local Storage: Data saved in "The Vault," your message templates, and your app preferences stay only on your device. If you uninstall the App or clear your app cache/data, this information will be permanently deleted.

Cloud-Hosted Content: Business Pages, Product Catalog entries, and shortened links are stored on Google Firebase infrastructure and protected by access rules that restrict who can create or modify this content. Because this content is designed to be publicly viewable by anyone who has your shared link or QR code, please avoid including sensitive personal information in it beyond what you intend to share publicly.

Deleting Shared Content: Removing a Business Page from the list on your device stops it from appearing in the App, but at this time does not automatically delete its stored copy or associated Product Catalog and images from our cloud database, since the previously shared link or QR code is designed to keep working. If you would like a Business Page, Product Catalog, or shortened link permanently deleted from our servers, please contact us at the email below and we will remove it.

CSV Export: When you export your history, the file is handled by your device's native sharing system. You are responsible for the security of the exported file.

Sensitive Data: While WhatsApp links are standard, we recommend not including passwords or sensitive financial information in custom messages.

6. Children's Privacy

Whats Link is a professional tool. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Full Control Over Local Data: You have full control over the data stored on your device. You can delete individual Vault records, templates, or clear all local data at any time within the App.

Deletion of Cloud-Hosted Content: To request deletion of a Business Page, Product Catalog, or shortened link from our servers, contact us using the email below.

Permission Management: You can revoke microphone permissions at any time through your device's operating system settings.

Ad Consent & Opt-Out: Where a consent dialog is shown, you can change your choice at any time from the App's settings. You can also limit personalized ads by adjusting your device's privacy settings (e.g., "Reset Advertising ID").

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The updated version will always be accessible via the Settings section of the App.
