Privacy Policy

Your privacy is fundamental to how we built Whisperly. This policy explains how we handle your data with a privacy-first approach designed for developers who value security.

Privacy-First by Design

We built Whisperly with privacy as a core principle, not an afterthought. Here's what makes us different.

Local Processing

Your PCAP files never leave your browser. All analysis happens locally on your machine, ensuring your network data stays completely private.

✓ Zero data transmission to our servers

No Account Required

Use Whisperly Emergency Kit without creating an account, providing personal information, or agreeing to data collection.

✓ Anonymous usage by default

Minimal Analytics

We only collect anonymous usage statistics to improve the product. No personal data, no tracking, no behavioral profiling.

✓ Privacy-respecting analytics only

  • • Approximate geographic region (country level only)

How We Process Your Data

Local-First Architecture

Whisperly is designed with a "local-first" architecture that prioritizes your privacy:

1
File Upload

PCAP files are loaded directly into your browser's memory, never transmitted to our servers.

2
Analysis Processing

All packet analysis happens in your browser using WebAssembly and JavaScript.

3
AI Analysis

Only anonymized pattern signatures are sent to our AI service, never raw packet data.

4
Results Display

Analysis results are displayed in your browser and can be saved locally if desired.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

Third-Party Services We Use

OpenAI API

We send anonymized network pattern signatures (not raw packet data) to OpenAI for AI-powered analysis. No personal or network-identifying information is included.

Analytics Service

We use privacy-focused analytics (not Google Analytics) to understand usage patterns. No personal data or tracking cookies are used.
