Privacy Policy - watoo | Your Data, Your Control

1. Overview

TL;DR: watoo doesn't collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data. Everything runs locally on your device.

watoo is a browser extension designed with privacy as the core principle. We believe that your data belongs to you, and you alone. This privacy policy explains our commitment to protecting your privacy and outlines how watoo operates without compromising your personal information.

2. Data Collection

What We DON'T Collect:

❌ Personal information (name, email, phone number)
❌ WhatsApp account credentials
❌ Downloaded status images or videos
❌ Browsing history or activity
❌ IP addresses or location data
❌ Device information or identifiers
❌ Cookies or tracking data

What We DO Collect:

Nothing. watoo operates entirely on your local device. We have no servers, no databases, and no way to access your data.

3. How We Use Data

Since we don't collect any data, there's nothing to use, share, or sell. watoo's functionality is entirely client-side:

✅ All processing happens in your browser
✅ Downloaded statuses are saved directly to your device
✅ No data is transmitted to our servers (we don't have any)
✅ No analytics or tracking scripts

4. Data Storage

watoo uses minimal local storage only for:

Extension Settings: Your preferences (e.g., download location) are stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API.
No Cloud Sync: Even if you use Chrome sync, watoo's settings are kept local to each device.

You can clear all watoo data at any time by removing the extension from your browser.

5. Third-Party Services

watoo does not integrate with any third-party services, analytics platforms, or advertising networks. The extension only interacts with:

WhatsApp Web: To detect and download status media (images/videos)
Your Local File System: To save downloaded files to your chosen location

We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other tracking tools.

6. Your Rights

Under GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations, you have the right to:

Access: Since we don't collect data, there's nothing to access.
Deletion: Uninstall the extension to remove all local data.
Portability: Your downloaded files are already on your device.
Opt-Out: No opt-out needed—we don't track you in the first place.

This privacy policy may be updated from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes.
