Privacy Policy
Developer: Akash Shiyal
Akash Shiyal ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our mobile application, WA Chat Backup.
Information We Collect
We do not collect, store, or share any personal data or media files. All processing happens locally on your device to provide essential app features.
WhatsApp Chat Export and File Handling
Our app allows you to import WhatsApp chat data using exported ZIP files. This feature is used to help you store your exported chat locally inside the app.
We have no affiliation with the WhatsApp application, and we do not access or interact with WhatsApp directly.
If you choose to back up your chats using our app, we do not store any backup files on our servers. All backup files remain on your device only.
As a result, if you delete the app, your backup files (including chat data) will also be deleted permanently.
Please keep this in mind.
Permissions Used and Purpose

Camera access is required to capture a selfie if someone enters the wrong password. This helps secure your app by identifying unauthorized access attempts.
