1. Introduction
Whisper is a private, offline messaging app that enables communication between nearby devices using Bluetooth. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information.
2. Information We Collect
Whisper does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to external servers.
The app only processes information locally on your device:
- Bluetooth connection data (device name, Bluetooth address) to establish communication.
- Messages sent and received are stored only on your device and the device of the recipient.
- Settings preferences (e.g., dark mode, sound, haptics, debug mode).
No accounts, phone numbers, or internet access are required.
3. How Information Is Used
- To enable peer-to-peer Bluetooth messaging.
- To support optional features such as message timeouts (self-destruct).
- To store your preferences (e.g., theme, sounds, debug mode).
All processing happens locally on your device.
4. Data Sharing
Whisper does not share, sell, or transmit your data to any third parties.
5. Security
- Messages are encrypted before transmission.
- No data is stored in the cloud or on remote servers.
- Once a message self-destructs, it is permanently deleted.
6. Children’s Privacy
Whisper is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
7. Your Control
You can delete your conversations at any time within the app. Once deleted, they cannot be recovered.
8. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect improvements to the app. Updates will be posted along with a new “Effective Date.”

✅ This is minimal but compliant for MVP. You only need to:
- Add your contact email.
- Host this text somewhere (GitHub Pages, Notion, or a simple website).
- Paste the link into Google Play Console.
Would you like me to also draft a Terms of Service (ToS)? Sometimes Google doesn’t require it for MVPs, but it can help with things like disclaimers (e.g., “Bluetooth range may vary, not responsible for lost messages”).
