What we do NOT store

We do not store your phone number. Phone numbers are immediately hashed (one-way SHA-256) — meaning we can count unique users but can never recover or share any phone number. We store only: intent type (e.g. "paye"), country mentioned, response time. No names, no contacts, no message content beyond the current conversation window.

✓

No spam. We will never send you a WhatsApp message unless you message us first.

✓

No selling. We do not sell or share any data with third parties.

Webhook secured with HMAC-SHA256 signature verification on every message.
