Privacy Policy

Your privacy is fundamental to how ThreadRecap works. We built this tool with privacy-first principles, processing your data locally whenever possible.

Last updated: January 25, 2026

Local Processing

Your chat files are parsed and processed directly in your browser.

No Storage

We don't store your chat content on our servers after analysis.

You Control Deletion

Close your browser tab and your data is gone from our systems.

Information We Collect

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.
  • Account Information: If you create an account, we store your email address and authentication credentials securely.
  • Usage Data: We collect anonymous analytics about how the app is used (pages visited, features used) to improve the service.

How We Use Your Information

Your data is used solely to provide the service:

  • Processing chat content through AI to generate insights and summaries
  • Authenticating your account and managing your subscription
  • Improving the service based on anonymous usage patterns
  • Communicating important updates about the service (if you have an account)

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

Data Security

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
  • Account passwords are hashed using secure algorithms
  • We regularly audit our systems for security vulnerabilities

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

  • AI Processing: We use AI models to analyze your chat content. The content is sent securely and not retained by our AI providers.
  • Analytics: We use Vercel Analytics to understand usage patterns. This data is anonymized.
  • Hosting: Our service is hosted on Vercel with data centers that comply with industry security standards.

Data Retention & Deletion

We retain minimal data for the shortest time necessary:

  • Chat content is deleted immediately after analysis is complete
  • Analysis results are stored temporarily in your browser session only
  • 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

Your Rights

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 privacy@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.
