Privacy Policy

01 Introduction

Welcome to WA Direct Message PRO ("we," "our," or "us"). We built this application with a strict privacy-first philosophy. Our core mission is to provide a seamless productivity tool without compromising your personal data.

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle, process, and protect your information when you use our iOS application. By using WA Direct Message PRO, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

02 Information We Do Not Collect

Unlike many other utility applications, WA Direct Message PRO operates on a zero-tracking policy:

• No Accounts: We do not require you to create an account or provide an email address.
• No Analytics: We do not use third-party tracking frameworks or analytics software to monitor your behavior.
• No Ads: We do not display advertisements, hence no advertising identifiers (IDFA) are collected or shared.

03 How We Process Data On-Device

To provide you with our features, the app requires certain permissions. All data processed through these features remains securely on your device:

• Camera Access (OCR Scanner): We request camera access strictly to provide the "Magic OCR Scanner" feature. When you scan a business card or screen, the text recognition (Optical Character Recognition) is processed 100% locally on your device using Apple's native Vision framework. We do not record video, take photos, or upload any scanned images to our servers.
• Clipboard Access: We use Apple's native secure clipboard API to detect if you have copied a phone number. This data is read temporarily and locally to auto-fill the text field. We do not transmit or store your clipboard history elsewhere.
• Chat History & Quick Templates: Any phone numbers you message or templates you create are saved locally on your iPhone using Apple's local database (SwiftData). We have no access to this database.
• iCloud Sync (If Enabled): If you choose to sync your history across your Apple devices, this data is securely transmitted and stored using your personal Apple iCloud account. We do not have access to your iCloud data.

04 Third-Party Services

While our app processes data locally, it interacts with third-party services to fulfill its primary function:

• WhatsApp (Meta Platforms, Inc.): Our app generates a URL scheme to open WhatsApp automatically. We do not have access to your WhatsApp account, messages, or contacts. Once our app redirects you to WhatsApp, you are governed by WhatsApp's Privacy Policy. WA Direct Message PRO is not affiliated with or endorsed by WhatsApp or Meta.
• Apple Inc. (App Store & StoreKit): If you make an in-app purchase (e.g., upgrading to the PRO version), the transaction is processed securely by Apple. We do not collect or have access to your credit card information, billing address, or Apple ID.

05 Security

Because all data (including your chat history and templates) is stored locally on your device, the security of this data relies on your device's security. We highly recommend keeping your iOS device updated and utilizing Apple's built-in security features (such as Face ID, Touch ID, and device passcodes) to protect your device from unauthorized access.

06 Children's Privacy

Our application does not address anyone under the age of 13. Since we do not collect personal data, we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.

07 Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, particularly those that involve collecting data in the future, we will notify you by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy and providing a prominent notice within the app.
