1. Introduction

Welcome to WhatsApp Group Contact Exporter, a browser extension designed to help users export available contact information from WhatsApp groups they belong to.

This Privacy Policy explains how the extension accesses, processes, stores, and handles information when you use its features.

We are committed to transparency, user privacy, and responsible data handling.

2. Information Accessed

When you use WhatsApp Group Contact Exporter, the extension may access the following information from WhatsApp Web:

• WhatsApp group participant names
• Phone numbers available to your account
• Visible group member information
• Information necessary to generate CSV or vCard (VCF) export files

The extension does not require users to create an account or provide a password to use its contact export functionality.

3. How Information Is Used

Contact information accessed by the extension is used to provide its core functionality.

• Identify available WhatsApp group contacts
• Organize names and phone numbers
• Generate downloadable CSV files
• Generate downloadable vCard (VCF) files
• Allow users to manage exported contacts

Contact information is processed for user-requested export functionality.

4. Data Storage and Retention

The extension is designed to process extracted contact information locally within the user’s browser.

During an export session, contact information may be temporarily held in browser memory to prepare downloadable files.

Exported CSV and VCF files are saved to the location selected or configured by the user’s browser.

Users are responsible for managing, securing, and deleting files downloaded to their devices.

Temporary information held in the extension’s memory is not intended for permanent storage. It is generally cleared when the relevant extension context is closed or reset.

5. Data Transmission and Sharing

The extension’s intended purpose is to process WhatsApp group contact information locally for export.

The extension does not require a separate account or cloud synchronization service to perform its core export functions.

We do not sell exported contact information.

We do not use exported contact information for advertising or marketing purposes.

The extension is not intended to transmit exported contact lists to an external developer-controlled server.

6. Browser Permissions

The extension requests browser permissions necessary to perform its functionality.

• Active Tab: Allows interaction with the active browser tab when applicable.
• Scripting: Allows required extension scripts to operate within WhatsApp Web.
• Downloads: Enables users to save exported CSV and VCF files.
• WhatsApp Web Host Access: Enables the extension to interact with supported WhatsApp Web pages.

The extension’s functionality is intended to operate on WhatsApp Web rather than unrelated websites.

7. Data Security

We aim to minimize unnecessary access to information and limit processing to the extension’s stated functionality.

Users should protect exported files, avoid sharing sensitive contact lists with unauthorized parties, and keep their browsers updated.

No software or electronic environment can guarantee absolute security.

8. User Control and Consent

Users control when they activate the extension and initiate exports.

Users may:

• Choose when to export contact information
• Select the available export format
• Delete downloaded contact files
• Disable or uninstall the extension

Users must respect applicable privacy laws and obtain appropriate authorization before collecting, storing, sharing, or using another person’s contact information.

Exported information must not be used for spam, harassment, or unsolicited communications.

9. Third-Party Services

WhatsApp Group Contact Exporter operates in connection with WhatsApp Web, which is a third-party service.

Your use of WhatsApp Web remains subject to WhatsApp’s own terms, policies, and privacy practices.

We do not control how WhatsApp processes information through its own platform.
