1. Introduction
Wappline ("we", "our", or "us") operates a multi-channel messaging platform that enables businesses to communicate with their customers through WhatsApp Business API, Instagram Messaging API, and other channels. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, protect, and share your personal information when you use our services.

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties
4.1 Meta Platforms (Data Processor)
We integrate with Meta's WhatsApp Business Platform and Instagram Messaging API. As a data processor, Meta:
- WhatsApp Personal Messages: Personal WhatsApp messages between end-users use end-to-end encryption (Signal protocol)
- WhatsApp Business API Messages: Messages sent via the Business API are transmitted securely via HTTPS but are not end-to-end encrypted from the business perspective. This allows businesses (like Wappline) to provide customer service features
- Retains message metadata for up to 30 days for delivery purposes
- Does not use your Business API message data for advertising purposes
- Processes data in accordance with WhatsApp Business Policy and Meta Platform Terms
4.2 Bitrix24 Integration
If you connect Bitrix24, conversation and contact data may be synchronized with your Bitrix24 CRM instance according to your configuration.
4.3 Service Providers
We may share data with trusted service providers who assist in operating our platform, including:
- Cloud hosting providers (data encryption at rest and in transit)
- Analytics services (anonymized data only)
- Security monitoring services
4.4 Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or governmental request, or to protect our rights, property, or safety.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
5. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:
- Encryption: Sensitive data (access tokens, API credentials) is encrypted using industry-standard AES-256 encryption
- Secure Transmission: All data is transmitted over HTTPS/TLS
- Password Security: Passwords are hashed using bcrypt with salt
- Multi-Tenant Isolation: Strict database-level isolation using Eloquent Global Scopes and unique constraints prevents cross-company data access
- Access Controls: Role-based permissions restrict data access to authorized personnel only
- Regular Security Audits: We conduct periodic security reviews and vulnerability assessments
While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations:
- Active Accounts: Data is retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period after account closure
- Active Messages: Message data is retained according to your configured retention settings
- Account Deletion: After you delete your account, all data is permanently deleted within 30 days (see Section 8 for exceptions)
- Legal Compliance: Some data may be retained longer to comply with legal, tax, or regulatory requirements
- Backups: Data in encrypted backups may persist for up to 30 days after deletion for disaster recovery purposes
7. Multi-Tenant Data Isolation
Wappline is a multi-tenant platform. We implement strict technical and organizational measures to ensure complete data isolation between customers:
- Database Scopes: All queries automatically filter by company/instance to prevent cross-customer data access
- Unique Constraints: Database-level constraints prevent a single phone number or Instagram account from being connected to multiple instances
- Authorization Checks: Every data access request is verified against user permissions and company ownership
- Exact Identifier Matching: We use exact matching for all identifiers (no wildcard/partial matches) to prevent data leakage
Guarantee: No customer can access another customer's data under any circumstances. This is enforced at the application, database, and infrastructure layers.
