WhatsDirect mobile application (the "App"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our App and the choices you have associated with that data.

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information Collection and Use

WhatsDirect is designed with privacy in mind. The core functionality of the App does not require an internet connection and does not collect, transmit, or store any of your personal information, phone numbers, or messages on our servers.

All operations, including formatting phone numbers and launching the WhatsApp application, happen entirely on your device locally.

2. Permissions We Request

To provide specific convenience features, our App may request the following permissions on your device:

Read Call Log (android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG): We request this permission solely to display your recent calls within the App, allowing you to easily select a recently dialed or received number to message without manually typing it. Important: This data never leaves your device. It is processed locally and is never uploaded, shared, or sent to our servers or any third parties.

3. Third-Party Services

While our core app respects your privacy by processing data locally, we integrate third-party services that may collect information used to identify you, provide essential services, or to display advertisements.

These third-party service providers have their own Privacy Policies addressing how they use such information:

Google Play Services & Google Play In-App Updates: We use Google's services to check for and deliver app updates securely.
- Google Privacy Policy
Unity Ads: We use Unity Ads to display banner advertisements that help support the development and maintenance of this free app. Unity Ads may collect technical and device-specific information (such as your device's advertising ID and IP address) to serve relevant ads.
- Unity Privacy Policy

Note: The App interacts with WhatsApp (owned by Meta) by launching intents to open specific chats. We are not officially affiliated with WhatsApp. Once you are redirected to WhatsApp, their respective privacy policies apply.

4. Log Data and Analytics

We do not inherently collect custom usage logs or analytics data. However, in the event of an error or crash, third-party services (like the Google Play Store developer console) might collect anonymous crash data from your device on our behalf. This Log Data may include information such as your device model, operating system version, the configuration of the app during the crash, and the time and date of your use of the Service.

5. Security of Data

The security of your data is paramount to us, which is why none of your personal chat data or phone numbers are ever stored on our servers. All processing is done locally on your phone. However, remember that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

6. Children's Privacy

These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
