WA Chat Pinner
Plain English Policy

Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 2026

The Short Version

We do not collect, store, sell, or transmit any of your personal data. The extension runs 100% locally on your computer. Your chats are yours.

How Your Privacy Works in Real Scenarios

Scenario: You pin a highly confidential business chat

When you click "Pin", the extension simply saves a tiny text file in your browser's local cache saying "keep chat ID #123 at the top". It does not send this information to the cloud. We have no idea who you are pinning.

Scenario: You receive private photos and audio messages

The extension only modifies the "sidebar" layout of WhatsApp Web. It does not contain any code capable of reading your message content, downloading your media, or listening to your voice notes.

Scenario: You delete the extension

Because everything is stored locally on your Chrome profile, deleting the extension instantly wipes all your pinned configurations. There is no account to delete, and no server records to erase.

Scenario: You log in on a completely different computer

Your pins will not sync to the new computer automatically. Because we don't use cloud databases to track your activity, your preferences are tied securely to the specific computer you are using.


The Technical Details

1. Why do we need permissions?

When you install the app, Chrome asks for a few permissions. Here is exactly what they do:

  • Storage Permission: Allows the extension to remember which chats you pinned even after you close the browser tab.
  • Host Permission (web.whatsapp.com): Ensures the extension only activates when you are actually on WhatsApp Web, keeping the rest of your browsing secure and untouched.

2. Analytics & Tracking

We do not use Google Analytics, tracking pixels, or any third-party behavioral trackers inside the extension.

3. Policy Updates

If we ever change this policy (e.g., if we release a Pro version with optional cloud-sync features in the future), the core principle will remain the same: your local data stays local by default.
