We do not sell or share your personal information
Not for money, and not for cross-context behavioural advertising. There is no "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" action to take, because there is nothing to opt out of. If that ever changes, this page changes first and a link appears in the app.
Categories collected
Identifiers (username, email, IP address), commercial information (purchases, listings), internet activity limited to what running the Service requires, the country you declare, precise location in one case only (where a seller or their courier is while delivering an order locally), your date of birth, and the content you choose to send. Sources: you, and your device. Purposes: those listed in the Privacy Policy.
Sensitive personal information
Some of what we hold is "sensitive" under these laws: your account log-in (username or email with your password), the contents of your messages (ordinary chats are readable by our servers; private chats are end-to-end encrypted and are not), and a courier's precise location during a local delivery. We use them only to provide the Service you asked for (signing you in, delivering your messages, showing a buyer their delivery), never to infer anything about you, and never to advertise to you. How long each is kept is in Data Retention; the last delivery location is deleted after 30 days.
Your rights
- Know what we collect and why — this page and the Privacy Policy.
- Access a portable copy — self-service, Settings → Your data & privacy.
- Delete — self-service, same place, immediate.
- Correct inaccurate information — in the app, or legal@whinchat.app.
- Limit use of sensitive personal information — we do not use it beyond providing the Service, which is already the limit.
- Not be discriminated against for exercising any of these. Nothing about your plan, price or service changes because you did.
Authorised agents and appeals
An authorised agent may act for you with written permission we can verify. If we refuse a request you may appeal to legal@whinchat.app; we respond to appeals within 45 days and tell you how to complain to your state Attorney General if you are still unsatisfied.
Sensitive information and minors
We do not sell or share the personal information of anyone, and we do not knowingly hold any for a person under the age limits in Child Safety.
What has changed
11 October 2026 · version 2
