Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 9, 2026
WhatRev ("we", "our", or "us") sends daily Shopify store performance reports to Shopify merchants via WhatsApp. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights under applicable Indian law including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ("DPDPA").
1. What we collect
- WhatsApp number: Your WhatsApp number, including country code, to deliver reports.
- Monthly revenue target: The target you set during onboarding to calculate progress.
- Shopify OAuth token: An access token that lets us read your store's orders and returns. We never store your Shopify password.
- Meta Ads token (optional): An access token to read your ad spend and ROAS from Facebook/Instagram campaigns via the Meta Marketing API.
- Google Ads token (optional): An OAuth 2.0 access token authorising the scope
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords to read your Google Ads spend, impressions, clicks, and ROAS data. - Amazon Selling Partner token (optional): An OAuth token issued through Amazon's Login with Amazon (LWA) flow that lets us read your Amazon seller order and sales data via the Selling Partner API. We never store your Amazon password.
- Amazon Ads token (optional): An OAuth token that lets us read your Amazon Advertising spend, ACOS, and campaign performance data via the Amazon Ads API.
- Slack bot token and destination (optional): If you connect Slack, we store an encrypted bot token plus the Slack workspace and channel you choose, solely to upload your daily report there. We never store your Slack password.
- Telegram chat ID (optional): If you connect Telegram by starting the WhatRev bot, we store the ID of that private chat solely to deliver your daily report there. The bot token is held only as an encrypted Cloudflare secret; we do not store your Telegram password or read your conversations.
- Order and revenue data: We fetch yesterday's and month-to-date order data to generate your report. This data is not stored permanently — it is fetched fresh each day and used only to generate the report card sent to your WhatsApp.
- Usage and log data: When you use WhatRev, our servers may automatically collect your IP address, browser type, device type, and pages visited. This data is used solely for security monitoring and is not linked to your identity.
- Cookies: We use strictly necessary session cookies to keep you logged in. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
2. How we use your data
- To generate and send your daily WhatsApp report card.
- To upload your daily report card to the Slack channel you choose, if you opt in to Slack delivery.
- To upload your daily report card to the private Telegram chat you explicitly connect, if you opt in to Telegram delivery.
- To track your subscription status and trial period through Shopify Billing.
- To calculate progress toward your monthly revenue target.
- We do not sell your data to any third party.
- We do not use your data for advertising or marketing profiling.
3. Google Ads API — limited use disclosure
WhatRev's use of data obtained from the Google Ads API is strictly limited to providing and improving the WhatRev service as described in this policy. We do not use Google Ads data to serve advertisements, build user profiles, or share with any third party other than as required to operate the service. Our use of Google Ads API data complies with the
Google Ads API Terms of Service and Google's Limited Use Policy.
Specifically, data accessed via the Google Ads API is used only to:
- Calculate and display your Google Ads spend, ROAS, and related metrics in your daily WhatsApp report.
- Nothing else. The data is not stored beyond the generation of that day's report.
4. Amazon Selling Partner API & Amazon Ads API — data use disclosure
WhatRev's use of data obtained from the Amazon Selling Partner API and the Amazon Ads API is strictly limited to providing and improving the WhatRev service as described in this policy. We do not use Amazon data to serve advertisements, build user profiles, or share it with any third party other than as required to operate the service. Our use of this data complies with Amazon's
Data Protection Policy and Acceptable Use Policy.
Specifically, data accessed via Amazon's APIs is used only to:
- Calculate and display your Amazon order, sales, and (where connected) advertising metrics in your daily WhatsApp report.
- Nothing else. The data is not stored beyond the generation of that day's report.
5. Data security
All OAuth and bot access tokens (Shopify, Meta, Google, Amazon, and Slack) are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM encryption before being stored in our database. The Telegram bot token is held only as a Cloudflare secret and is never stored in our database. Your WhatsApp number is stored in plaintext as it is required for message delivery. We use HTTPS for all data in transit.
