Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 2, 2026

Wheyvhey is designed to be a safer, friendlier way to connect. We intentionally minimize the information we process and avoid long-term storage of user content whenever reasonably possible. This Privacy Policy explains what information we process, why we process it, and the limited circumstances in which it may be disclosed.

The Service is intended for individuals 18 years of age or older. By using the Service, you acknowledge the practices described below and represent that you meet the age requirements set forth in our Terms of Service.

1. Information We Process

We limit information processing to what is reasonably necessary to operate, secure, and maintain the Service.

Depending on how you use the platform, we may process:

A. Account or Session Information

• Username or display name
• Login credentials (if applicable)
• Session identifiers
• Account status information

B. User-Generated Content

• Profile images
• Messages or chat content
• Content you voluntarily upload or transmit

C. Technical and Device Information

• IP address
• Device type
• Operating system
• Browser type
• Connection data
• Basic usage logs
• Timestamps of activity

This information may be processed automatically as part of system functionality, security monitoring, and abuse prevention.

2. Temporary and Ephemeral Content

Wheyvhey is structured to minimize persistent storage.

User messages, profile images, and other content are processed transiently and are not maintained in permanent archives once they are no longer necessary to:

• Facilitate real-time communication
• Maintain technical functionality
• Detect, prevent, or investigate abuse
• Enforce our Terms of Service
• Comply with legal obligations

However, limited temporary copies may exist in:

• System memory
• Security and monitoring logs
• Backup systems
• Abuse detection systems

for short durations necessary for operational integrity, dispute resolution, or legal compliance. We do not maintain long-term message histories.

3. How We Use Information

• Enable communication between users
• Operate and maintain platform functionality
• Detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, or unlawful behavior
• Enforce our Terms of Service
• Maintain security and system integrity
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not use personal information for advertising purposes. We do not sell or rent personal information.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (U.S. Transparency Notice)

• Your consent
• Performance of a contract (providing the Service)
• Legitimate business interests in safety, fraud prevention, and system security
• Compliance with legal obligations

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell or rent user data. We may disclose information only:

• To service providers strictly necessary to operate infrastructure (such as hosting or security providers), subject to contractual confidentiality obligations.
• When required by subpoena, court order, or lawful legal process.
• To protect the rights, safety, or property of users, the Company, or the public.
• To investigate or prevent violations of our Terms of Service.
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or business transfer, subject to appropriate confidentiality safeguards.

We do not share user content for marketing or advertising purposes.

6. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Provide the Service
• Maintain operational integrity
• Resolve disputes
• Enforce agreements
• Comply with legal obligations

Retention periods may vary depending on technical, security, dispute resolution, or legal requirements. Because content is designed to be temporary, most user-generated content is removed through standard system processes once it is no longer operationally necessary. Certain technical logs or security records may be retained for a limited duration for abuse prevention, dispute resolution, or legal compliance.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. The Service is provided as described in our Terms of Service, and use of the Service is at your own risk.

8. User Rights and Choices

Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights to:

• Request access to personal information we process
• Request deletion of personal information
• Correct inaccurate personal information
• Request information about our data practices

To submit a request, contact: @Wheyvhey

We may require reasonable identity verification before fulfilling requests. Because much content is ephemeral, deletion may occur automatically as part of normal system operation.

9. Assumption of Risk

• Online communications inherently involve security risks.
• Temporary technical storage may occur in the normal course of system operation.
• No system can guarantee absolute confidentiality.
• You are responsible for the content you choose to share.

10. Age Restrictions

The Service is intended only for individuals 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18. If we become aware that an individual under 18 has provided personal information, we will take reasonable steps to delete such information and may terminate the associated account.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Material changes will be posted with a revised effective date. Continued use of the Service after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
