Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 30, 2024

At Messages Wrapped, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our service. By accessing or using the Messages Wrapped Application or Website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of personal information when you use our service:

  • Phone Number: The primary information you provide to access the service.

  • Email Address: Optional information you may provide when accessing the service from a non-Mac device.

2. How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used for the following purposes:

  • To Provide Services: We analyze your text message data locally on your computer to generate insights, create visual stories, and offer features that enhance your experience.

  • Email Communication: If you access our service from a non-Mac device and choose to provide your email, we'll send you a link to try Messages Wrapped on your Mac. We will not use your email for any other purposes.

3. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to enhance our service:

  • Resend: We use Resend to deliver emails to users who want to try Messages Wrapped on their Mac. While Resend stores email addresses for delivery purposes, these addresses are not linked to any of your Messages Wrapped data or analysis results. Email addresses are only collected and used when users explicitly choose to receive the Mac download link.

4. Data Storage and Retention

Temporary Storage: Your text message data is never stored by us. It is analyzed locally on your computer. Your results are sent to our encrypted server using end-to-end encryption, meaning only you can access them and neither Messages Wrapped nor any third parties can view your results. Once the analysis is complete, your encrypted results are automatically deleted within 24 hours.

Story Sharing: When you choose to share a story from your Messages Wrapped, an image of that story is temporarily stored on our servers for 48 hours to enable sharing via a unique link. After 48 hours, this story data is automatically and permanently deleted from our servers. Only the specific story you choose to share is stored, and it's stored in isolation from your other data.

Phone Number Storage: Your phone number may be stored securely so we can reach out to you in the future to inform you of new features and updates to the product.

5. Analytics

We collect anonymous analytics to help us understand how our services are used and to improve your experience. Our analytics collection is:

  • Cookie-Free: We don't use cookies or track users across websites.

  • Anonymous: All collected data is anonymous and cannot be traced back to individual users.

Our analytics are configured to respect user privacy and collect only anonymous, aggregated data. No personally identifiable information is collected through our analytics system.
