Privacy Policy

ThreadRecap is designed to minimize data collection. Here is what we handle:

• Chat Files (Temporary): When you upload a WhatsApp export, the file is parsed in your browser. Only the text content needed for AI analysis is sent to our servers, and it is immediately discarded after processing. We never store raw chat files.
• Audio & Video (Temporary): If you include voice notes or videos, audio is extracted locally in your browser and sent to our transcription provider. Audio files are discarded immediately after transcription.
• Account Information: If you create an account, we store your email address and basic profile information through our authentication provider (Clerk). We also store your credit balance and saved analysis results (encrypted at rest).
• Usage Data: We collect anonymous analytics about how the app is used (pages visited, features used) to improve the service.

Your data is used solely to provide the service:

• Processing chat content through AI to generate insights and summaries
• Transcribing voice notes and video audio using AI transcription
• Authenticating your account and managing your credits
• Saving analysis results to your dashboard (only when you choose to)
• Improving the service based on anonymous usage patterns

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

We implement industry-standard security measures:

• All data transmission uses TLS/SSL encryption
• Chat content is processed in memory and not written to persistent storage
• Saved analysis results are encrypted at rest in the database
• Authentication is handled by Clerk, a dedicated identity provider
• We regularly audit our systems for security vulnerabilities

We use the following third-party services:

• AI Analysis (Anthropic): We use Claude by Anthropic to analyze your chat content. The content is sent securely and not retained by Anthropic after processing.
• Transcription (OpenAI): Voice notes and video audio are transcribed using the OpenAI Whisper API. Audio is sent securely and not retained after transcription.
• Authentication (Clerk): Account creation and login are handled by Clerk, which manages your credentials securely.
• Payments (Stripe): Credit purchases are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full payment details.
• Hosting (Vercel): Our service is hosted on Vercel with data centers that comply with industry security standards.
• Analytics: We use Vercel Analytics to understand usage patterns. This data is anonymized.

We retain minimal data for the shortest time necessary:

• Chat content and audio files are deleted immediately after processing
• Unsaved analysis results exist only in your browser session
• Saved analyses are stored in your account until you delete them
• Account data is retained until you request deletion
• You can delete your account at any time, and all associated data will be removed within 30 days

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Withdraw consent for data processing
• Export your data in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at support@threadrecap.com.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting a notice on our website or sending you an email (if you have an account).

Your continued use of ThreadRecap after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
