WhatsBoax.com (“we” or “our”) is a WhatsApp marketing platform based in India. We value your privacy and comply with applicable data protection laws. In particular, India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act) mandates that personal data be used lawfully, fairly, transparently, and only for limited purposes This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and protect it, and your rights regarding that information.
Information We Collect
We collect only the personal information you voluntarily provide when using our Service. This includes, for example:
Name: Your full name (for identification).
Email Address: Used for account login and notifications.
Phone Number: Provided for WhatsApp integration and communications.
We do not collect sensitive data (like financial or health data) beyond these basics. These examples align with common practice – apps typically collect basic personal info (name, email, etc.) to operate effectively We collect this data only for clear purposes (e.g. account setup and communication) and do not gather unrelated information.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide to operate and improve the Service. For example:
To create and manage your user account.
To send you administrative messages (password resets, updates).
To enable WhatsApp-based marketing features you request.
To respond to your inquiries or requests.
We do not use your personal data for purposes beyond what is necessary. In line with the DPDP Act, we process data only for the specified purpose and do not keep it longer than needed We will never use your name, email, or phone number for unsolicited marketing beyond WhatsApp messages you approve.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience and the functionality of our site. Cookies may be used to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and monitor site performance. Importantly, under India’s DPDP Act, we obtain explicit consent before placing any non-essential cookies .This means you will be informed about our cookie usage and must agree before we track any personal data via cookies.
Essential Cookies: Required for basic site functions (login sessions, security, etc.).
Non-Essential Cookies: We do not use tracking cookies for analytics or advertising without your permission.
You can choose to disable or block cookies through your browser settings. If you do so, note that some features of the Service may not function properly For example, disabling cookies might prevent automatic login or personalized settings from working.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third-party marketing or analytics companies. For instance, as noted in other privacy policies, organizations often affirm “we do not share personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes” Similarly, WhatsBoax.com will never disclose your name, email, or phone number to third parties for their independent use.
We may share your information only in very limited ways:
Service Providers: We may share data with trusted vendors who perform services on our behalf (e.g. hosting providers), subject to confidentiality requirements.
Legal Compliance: We may disclose information if required by law (e.g. court orders) or to protect legal rights.
Aside from these cases, your data remains solely with us. We never share data with advertising networks or analytics services without your consent.
Data Security
We implement strong security measures to protect your data. All information is transmitted over encrypted connections (SSL/TLS) to prevent eavesdropping – in fact, SSL encryption is considered “an easy first step to ensure that any information going in and out of your website is secure” On our servers, data is stored with industry-standard safeguards: access to personal data is restricted only to authorized personnel, and encryption and access controls are used where appropriate Although no system is completely foolproof, we regularly review our security to maintain confidentiality and integrity of your data.
Your Rights and Choices
You have control over your personal information. In accordance with privacy best practices and legal rights, you can:
Access Your Data: Request a summary of the personal data we hold about you.
Correct Inaccuracies: Ask us to update or correct any incorrect or incomplete data we have (this is the “right to correction” under India’s DPDP Act)
Delete Your Data: Request that we delete your personal data where we have your consent to process it (the “right to erasure” under the DPDP Act)
We make it easy to exercise these rights. For example, you can contact us to request changes to your profile or ask that we remove your data. These user rights are consistent with data protection principles worldwide, which emphasize that individuals have “the right to access, correct, or delete their personal data” We will honor all valid requests promptly and as required by law.
Children’s Privacy and Age Restriction
WhatsBoax is intended for users 13 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. In line with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) – which requires parental consent for under-13 users – we assume users are at least 13. If we learn that a person under 13 has provided personal data, we will delete it. If you are under 13, please do not use the Service or provide us with any information.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time (for example, when laws change). When we make significant changes, we will notify you by email or via a notice on our website. This approach follows best practices: privacy policies should explain how users will be informed of changes
Please review this policy periodically. Your continued use of WhatsBoax after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
