Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026
What information we collect
Whisper collects only what is necessary to deliver a personalised experience:
- Onboarding data — the name, preferences, and interest categories you choose during setup. This is stored locally on your device.
- Liked & saved quotes — stored locally via AsyncStorage so your favourites persist across sessions.
- Premium status — a flag indicating whether you have unlocked Premium, stored locally.
- Anonymous analytics data — to improve the app experience, we collect anonymous usage data including screen views, feature usage, and onboarding progress. No personally identifiable information is collected.
- Advertising identifier (IDFA) — if you grant permission via the App Tracking Transparency prompt, we collect your device's advertising identifier to measure the performance of advertising campaigns. You can decline this prompt and the app will function normally without it.
- Attribution data — we collect anonymous install and in-app event data (e.g. subscription events) to understand which advertising campaigns bring users to Whisper. This data is processed by AppsFlyer and shared with advertising partners such as TikTok.
How we use your information
Personal data you provide during onboarding is used solely to customise which quotes appear in your feed. We do not use it for advertising or profiling. Advertising identifiers and attribution data, when collected, are used only to measure advertising campaign performance and optimise ad delivery through our advertising partners.
Data stored on your device
By default, Whisper stores all user data on your device using local storage (AsyncStorage). No data is transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly opt in to a feature that requires it (e.g. cloud sync, if introduced in a future version).
Advertising and tracking
When you first open Whisper, you will be shown Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt asking for permission to track your activity across other companies' apps and websites. If you consent, your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) will be shared with AppsFlyer and our advertising partners (such as TikTok) to measure ad campaign performance. If you decline, the app will still function normally — only anonymous, aggregated data will be used for attribution via Apple's SKAdNetwork framework.
This website (the landing page) may use basic analytics provided by our hosting provider (Vercel) to understand traffic patterns. No personal identifiers are collected or shared via the website.

- AppsFlyer — to measure advertising campaign performance and attribute app installs and in-app events (such as subscriptions) to their originating ad campaigns.

How long we keep your data
Data stored locally on your device persists until you delete the app or manually clear app data. We do not retain copies of this data on any server.

Children's privacy
Whisper is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can remove it.
