Privacy policy
WaSeen · Last updated September 2026
WaSeen (“we”, “us”) helps families coordinate with transparent WhatsApp presence insights
(online/offline patterns). We do not read message contents and we do not sell personal data.
Data we process
- Account identity — Firebase Authentication (Google sign-in): your user id (
uid) and basic profile fields Google provides.
- Optional app usage events — if enabled in consent settings, your signed-in Google email and approximate app open/close times for live service monitoring. These logs are kept for up to 30 days and are available to authorized operators.
- Profiles & contacts you configure — stored in Firebase Realtime Database under your account paths.
- Presence signals — online/offline-style events used for timelines, rhythms, and insights (not chat messages).
- Device tokens — for push notifications and reliability (FCM).
- Support data — messages you send via in-app live chat (e.g. Tawk.to), support tickets, or related logs needed to help you.
- Billing status — subscription state from Google Play (we do not receive your full payment card details).
How we use data
- Provide app features: presence display, history, insights, notifications, and account limits.
- Operate the service: security, abuse prevention, rate limits, debugging, and incident response.
- Improve reliability and support quality.
- Monitor opt-in live app usage and troubleshoot service availability.
Legal basis & your responsibilities
You must only monitor people who understand and agree in your jurisdiction (e.g. family/household coordination).
You are responsible for lawful use. WaSeen cannot bypass WhatsApp privacy settings (e.g. hidden last seen).
Retention & deletion
- Presence and operational logs are trimmed by automated retention on our servers.
- You can remove tracked profiles in the app.
- Delete account data in the app or at waseen.online/delete-account (Google sign-in + Firebase UID confirmation).
Third parties
- Google (Firebase, Play Billing, Sign-In) — see Google’s privacy policy.
- Live chat may be processed by Tawk.to or similar providers under their terms.
Security
- API access uses Firebase ID tokens; optional App Check may be enforced.
- HTTPS for data in transit; access controls and rate limits on the backend.
Children
WaSeen is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your region). Parents/guardians should enable monitoring only with appropriate consent.
