SWAapp ("we", "our", "the app") lets you schedule recurring WhatsApp messages. This page explains what data we collect, why, and how it's used.
1. Information We Collect
- Account information: name and email address, either entered directly or provided by Google sign-in.
- WhatsApp connection: your linked WhatsApp phone number and the session needed to send messages on your behalf, via a self-hosted Evolution API instance.
- Contacts and groups: the names and identifiers of WhatsApp contacts and groups you choose as message recipients, synced from your connected WhatsApp account.
- Schedules and messages: the message content, recurrence rules, and recipients you configure.
- Delivery logs: timestamps and status (success/failure) of sent messages, for troubleshooting and history.
- Google Calendar (optional): if you connect a Google Calendar, we request read-only access to list your calendars and cache event titles/times so you can schedule messages tied to events. This is only enabled if you explicitly connect a calendar.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the data above solely to operate the app: authenticating you, sending your scheduled WhatsApp messages, showing your contacts/groups and calendar events for scheduling, and displaying delivery history. We do not sell your data or share it with advertisers.
3. Where Data Is Stored
Account, schedule, and log data is stored in AWS DynamoDB. WhatsApp session data is held by a self-hosted Evolution API instance we operate. Google Calendar access uses OAuth tokens stored securely and used only to fetch calendar/event data on your behalf.
4. Third-Party Services
We integrate with WhatsApp (via Evolution API) and, optionally, Google for sign-in and calendar access. Each provider's own privacy policy governs the data they process on their side.
SWAapp's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Calendar data obtained via the read-only Google Calendar scope is used solely to display your events and let you schedule messages tied to them — it is never used for advertising, never sold, and never shared with third parties, and no human at SWAapp reads it except as needed to provide support you request or to comply with the law.
5. Data Retention & Deletion
We retain your data for as long as your account is active. You can disconnect your WhatsApp or Google Calendar connection at any time from the app, or request full account deletion by contacting us below.
