Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 23, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how whatsapp.link ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website and services (collectively, the "Service"). By using whatsapp.link, you agree to the practices described below. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Who we are

whatsapp.link is an independent service that lets users generate custom WhatsApp chat links with optional pre-filled messages. We are not affiliated with WhatsApp Inc. or Meta Platforms, Inc. For privacy questions, contact us at privacy@whatsapp.link.

2. Information we collect

2.1 Information you provide

When you create a link, we collect:

• Username — the custom slug you choose (e.g. yourname).
• Phone number — the WhatsApp-enabled phone number the link will open a chat with.
• Pre-filled message — the optional message that appears in the chat when someone clicks your link.

We do not ask for your name, email, or any account information to create a link. If you contact us by email, we will receive your email address and the content of your message.

2.2 Information collected automatically

When you visit whatsapp.link, our servers and third-party services may automatically collect:

• IP address and approximate location (country / region).
• Browser type, operating system, language, and device type.
• Referring URL and pages visited on our site.
• Date and time of access.
• Cookies and similar technologies (see Section 5).

3. How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

• Generate and serve your custom WhatsApp link.
• Redirect visitors of your link to WhatsApp with the correct phone number and pre-filled message.
• Operate, maintain, monitor, and improve the Service.
• Prevent abuse, spam, fraud, and other unlawful activity.
• Show and measure advertising (see Section 6).
• Comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.

4. Public nature of links you create

Every link you generate is intentionally public. Anyone who knows or guesses your chosen username can visit whatsapp.link/username and be redirected to the phone number you provided, with the pre-filled message you set. Do not create a link with a phone number or message you wouldn't want strangers to see or use.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

We and our partners use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to remember your preferences, measure traffic, and deliver and personalize ads. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we display a Google-certified consent banner the first time you visit. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your choices at any time using the "Manage options" / privacy settings link in the banner.

6. Advertising (Google AdSense)

whatsapp.link is supported by ads. We use Google AdSense, which is provided by Google LLC. Google and its partners may use cookies and identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other sites on the internet.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu.
• For more information about how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, see Google's privacy & terms.

7. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only:

• With service providers who help us run the Service (e.g. hosting, analytics, advertising), under appropriate confidentiality terms.
• To comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request.
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of whatsapp.link, our users, or the public.
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with notice where required by law.

8. Data retention

Links you create are stored until you request deletion or until we remove them for abuse or inactivity. Server logs are typically retained for a limited period for security and debugging. Email correspondence is retained as long as needed to address your inquiry and for our records.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@whatsapp.link with enough detail for us to verify your request (for example, the username and phone number tied to the link).

10. Children's privacy

whatsapp.link is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

11. International users

whatsapp.link may be accessed from anywhere in the world. By using the Service, you understand that your information may be processed in countries other than your own, which may have different data protection rules.

12. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top. Material changes will be highlighted on the site. Your continued use of whatsapp.link after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
