Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

WenYou is an independent messaging project by Hamza Abo Som. Contact: contact@wenyou.app. Official site: wenyou.app.

2. Accounts

WenYou is phone-number based. Your number is used to create and verify your account. A separate public username is not available yet.

3. Messages

Online chat: Supported online messages are end-to-end encrypted. Message content for those chats is not readable as ordinary server-side plaintext in normal operation.

SMS: Carrier SMS uses the mobile network. It is not end-to-end encrypted. Your operator may process and bill SMS according to their own rules.

4. Location

Location sharing sends a Google Maps link (a map pin), online or by SMS depending on connectivity. It is not live tracking. Only share location — and any rapid-access code — with people you trust.

5. Per-contact controls

In the app you can, per contact:

• Hide last seen
• Hide status / stories (or hide theirs from you)
• Mute or unmute notifications
• Block calls
• Favorite or unfavorite a conversation
• Turn on self-destructing messages (off by default)

6. Device storage

Messages and related data are stored in an encrypted local database on your device. Online features also use cloud services for delivery and account functions.

7. What we do not do

WenYou does not show ads in the app and does not sell your private message content. A full commercial data-processing schedule will be published as the public launch approaches.

8. Your choices

Use in-app privacy settings and the per-contact options above. You can also contact us to ask about your account data: contact@wenyou.app or Contact.

9. Changes

We may update this page as the product develops. The date at the top shows the latest update. Related: Security · Terms.
