Privacy
Your data stays with you
Your messages never leave your phone or computer. When you upload a chat to WhatsTyped, the file is read and analysed by code running inside your own browser. Nothing is uploaded. There is no server receiving your messages, no database, no account, no email capture.
Verify it yourself
On a desktop browser you can watch the Network tab in the developer tools and confirm that nothing leaves when you run an analysis. This only works on desktop — mobile browsers (Android, iPhone) don't expose a network inspector.
Chrome (Windows or Mac)
- Open WhatsTyped in Chrome.
- Press F12 on Windows, or Cmd + Option + I on Mac, to open DevTools.
- Click the Network tab.
- Upload your chat and let the analysis run.
- You'll see requests for the page's own files — nothing going to any external server.
If you have accepted analytics, you will also see small page-view requests to our analytics providers when a page loads. They never contain your chat, and the analysis itself sends nothing.
Safari (Mac)
- First enable the Develop menu: go to Safari → Settings → Advanced and tick Show features for web developers.
- Open WhatsTyped, then go to Develop → Show Web Inspector.
- Click the Network tab.
- Upload your chat and let the analysis run.
- You'll see only local requests — no data sent to any server.
The one exception, clearly labelled
If you buy the premium unlock and choose the AI-written story, your browser sends only anonymous statistics (counts, percentages, your two Texter Types) to our server so an AI can write your story. Never message text. Never names. This is opt-in and labelled at the moment you tap it.
Payments
Payments are handled by Lemon Squeezy; we never see your card details. The only thing stored on your device is your unlock key (in localStorage), which you can clear at any time.
Analytics and cookies
Analytics are off until you say yes. If you tap Accept on the cookie notice, we use PostHog (servers in the EU) and Google Analytics to count visits and see how people find WhatsTyped: pages viewed, device and browser type, rough location (country only) and where you came from. That is page-level only. Neither service ever receives your chat, your names, or anything from the analysis. If you tap Decline, none of this is collected. We never sell this data or use it to advertise to you.
We also use Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights, which count page views and loading speed and are designed to work without cookies.
