Information Collection and Use

Information You Provide

When you interact with our Service, you may provide us with:

  • Account Information: Your name, email address, phone number, and login credentials
  • Business Data: Company details, team member information, and business profile data
  • WhatsApp Connection Data: WhatsApp Business API credentials and connection tokens
  • Content: Conversation flows, funnel designs, templates, and messages you create
  • Customer Data: Information about your leads and customers that you input into our system
  • Payment Information: Billing details, subscription preferences, and transaction records
  • Communications: Support requests, feedback, and survey responses

Automatically Collected Information

Our systems automatically gather:

  • Device Information: Type, operating system, unique identifiers, and browser details
  • Usage Data: How you navigate and use our features, including clicks, actions, and interaction patterns
  • Performance Metrics: System performance, load times, and error reports
  • Location Data: General location based on IP address or precise location with your permission
  • AI Interaction Data: Conversation patterns and response performance metrics

Conversations with the in-app assistant

When you use the assistant inside the Whappy dashboard, we keep what you write to it and its replies for 30 days, so we can find and fix mistakes in its answers. They are then deleted automatically. Only Whappy staff can read them, and they never include the messages your leads send you.

For each answer we also keep, for 90 days, a technical record of what the assistant did (which actions it took and whether they worked, never the text of the conversation) and, if you gave one, your rating (thumbs up or down) and comment.

Third-Party Sources

We may receive information about you from:

  • WhatsApp Business API and Meta services
  • Authentication providers when you use single sign-on
  • Payment processors and financial institutions
  • Marketing and analytics partners
  • Connected business tools (CRMs, calendars, etc.)
  • Public and commercially available sources

Connected CRMs

When you connect a CRM to Whappy, you decide what it may read and what it may write, and both are limited to the one sub-account you connect.

What we read. Contacts and their tags, so a new or newly tagged contact can start a WhatsApp conversation. The custom fields defined on that sub-account, so you can choose which of them an answer belongs in. Calendars and their free slots, so the assistant offers times that are genuinely available. Pipelines and their stages, so you can choose where a finished conversation leaves the deal. We never read your CRM's own inbox or its conversations.

What we write. Nothing, until you switch each part on. Once you do: the conversation transcript as a note on the contact, the outcome as a tag, each answer in the custom field you mapped it to, appointments on the calendar you chose, and the opportunity in the stage you picked.

How long we keep it. CRM-sourced data lives under the same retention as the rest of your account and is deleted with it. Disconnecting the CRM stops all reading and writing immediately; deleting your account removes what we hold.

Our role. Your CRM is a source and a destination, not a sub-processor of ours. We do not send your CRM data to it on our own behalf, and we do not use one customer's CRM data to serve another.

Connected stores (Shopify)

When you connect a Shopify store, the Whappy app reads from that store only what it needs to message the customers who agreed to it, and you decide which store events start a conversation.

What we read. Customers who agreed to WhatsApp marketing in Shopify: their name, email and phone number, their Shopify tags, and changes to their consent. Abandoned checkouts (cart contents, total and recovery link) and recent orders (order number, date, items, total, status and tracking) of those customers, so a conversation can follow up a checkout or answer "where is my order?". We do not read addresses. Customers without WhatsApp marketing consent never become leads.

What we write. Nothing in your store. Whappy only reads.

How long we keep it. Abandoned checkouts 30 days, recent orders 90 days. Leads created from the store follow the rest of your account. When Shopify forwards a buyer's request for their data, we email the store owner an export of it (download link valid 7 days, file deleted after 30 days); when it forwards a deletion request, we anonymise that buyer's leads and conversations. After you uninstall the app, everything we received from the store is purged when Shopify asks us to, 48 hours later.

Our role. For your customers' data we are your processor, under our Data Processing Addendum. We do not use it to train AI models and do not use one store's data to serve another.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Provide Our Services: Deliver core functionality, process transactions, and manage your account
  • Power AI Features: Run and improve our AI features for better conversation quality. We do not use your leads’ or customers’ personal data to train AI models

  • Improve Our Services: Analyze usage patterns to enhance features and performance

  • Business Partners: Third parties with whom we integrate or collaborate
  • Meta and WhatsApp: When you connect your WhatsApp Business account
  • Legal Authorities: When required by law, legal process, or to protect our rights
  • Business Transferees: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale

We never sell your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including:

  • Encryption for data in transit and at rest, including backups
  • Secure authentication mechanisms with multi-factor options
  • Staff access limited to those who need it, with two-step verification
  • Logs of access to secrets and stored exports, kept for 400 days
  • A written incident response policy: we notify affected customers within 72 hours of becoming aware of a breach of their data

While we take significant precautions, no system is completely secure. We encourage you to use strong passwords and secure your account.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

  • Access and receive a copy of your data
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Delete your personal information
  • Restrict or object to certain processing activities
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
  • Data portability (receiving your data in a usable format)

To exercise these rights, contact us at team@whappy.ai. We'll respond to your request within the timeframe required by applicable law.

International Data Transfers

As a global company, we may transfer your information to countries other than where you live. When we do, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information and comply with applicable data protection laws.

  • Remember your preferences
