Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 5, 2026
WA Group Extractor is a Chrome extension that exports WhatsApp Web group contacts directly in your browser. This policy describes what data is processed and for what purpose.
1. Data processed by the extension
- Names and phone numbers of group participants visible in WhatsApp Web, only when you click to extract.
- License status, license key, and the WhatsApp number you provide when activating the Pro version.
- Local preferences (such as export format) and a counter of successful extractions, used to decide when to show a review prompt. The Free version exports up to 20 contacts per group.
- Anonymous usage events (for example: popup opened, groups loaded, extraction finished, upgrade button clicked, welcome page viewed) with only numeric counters, tied to a random install ID. They never include contacts, phone numbers or group names.
2. How data is used
- Extracted contacts are used solely to generate the export file (Excel, CSV, JSON or vCard) in your browser — they are never uploaded to our servers.
- The license key and WhatsApp number are sent to our backend only for license activation and validation.
- Anonymous usage events are used only to understand and improve the product (for example, where users drop off).
- We do not sell personal data or share it with third parties for advertising purposes.
3. Data storage
- Local (browser): license status, license key, WhatsApp number, export format, extraction counter, the number of contacts hidden by the Free limit in your last export (used to remind you of it), and a random install ID.
- Backend: license key, purchase email, payment/order identifier, and the WhatsApp number bound to the license. Anonymous usage events are stored with a random install ID.
4. Payments
Payments are processed by Kiwify (and, for legacy purchases, Stripe). We do not store credit card data on our servers.
5. Your rights & contact
For questions, data update requests, or deletion requests, please contact us at support@wa-extractor.com.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available on this page.
