# Whip privacy: what data does Whip collect?

> A plain-language guide to Whip privacy: exactly what data Whip stores, what it never collects, how your chats and app data stay private, and where AI fits in.

Whip stores only what it needs to run your account: your email, name, handle, bio, date of birth, timezone, sign-in provider, your 3 interests, notification preferences, and the profile photo from your sign-in account. It does not store your phone number, address, or any payment details. Your prompts, chats, and app data stay private to you.

This page is the plain-English version. The full legal document lives at [whip.run/privacy](https://whip.run/privacy).

## What Whip stores

To make your account work, Whip keeps a short list of details:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Your account basics" icon="user">
    Email, name, handle (@username), and bio. Plus your profile photo, pulled
    from your Apple or Google sign-in account.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Your preferences" icon="sliders-horizontal">
    Your date of birth, timezone, which sign-in provider you use, the 3
    interests you picked, and your notification settings.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## What Whip does not store

Just as important is what Whip leaves alone:

* **No phone number.** Whip never asks for one.
* **No home or mailing address.**
* **No payment or billing details** — there's nothing to pay for. Whip is free, with no subscriptions or in-app purchases.

## Your prompts and chats stay private

The conversations where you build your apps are yours. Your chat history belongs to you, and only you can download the attachments you added to your builds. When Whip measures how the app is doing, your prompts and comments are never sent to analytics — only their lengths (how many characters), never the words themselves.

<Note>
  Your personal information (like your email) is scrambled before it's ever
  used in analytics — it's never included in plain text.
</Note>

## Your app data is yours alone

Every app you play gets its own private copy just for you. The data inside an app you use — your habit streaks, your saved notes, your high scores — is never visible to the app's creator or to other players.

<Info>
  The only thing an app can share is a game's
  [leaderboard](/using/leaderboards) score, if it has one — and that's just
  your score, nothing else. Outside of that, your data is never shared.
</Info>

## Where AI fits in

Whip uses trusted AI providers to build your apps and to help keep the community safe. The AI that builds apps runs on providers including **Google Gemini** and **OpenAI**.

* **Building apps.** When you describe an app, your prompt and any attachments go to the AI so it can create your app. You consent to this at onboarding, and you can manage it later in **Settings → Permissions**.
* **Keeping content safe.** Public content — like handles, bios, and comments — is screened by AI before it appears, to keep the community welcoming. More in [report content](/account/report-content).

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Does Whip read my private apps?" icon="lock-keyhole">
    Your private apps and drafts stay private. Public content you choose to
    share (titles, descriptions, tags, images, comments) is screened for
    safety — but your personal, private creations are not on display to
    anyone.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I control the AI consent?" icon="toggle-right">
    Yes. The consent that lets Whip's AI process your prompts to build apps
    lives in **Settings → Permissions**, where you can review it. See [data,
    AI, and consent](/using/data-ai-and-consent).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where's the full privacy policy?" icon="scroll-text">
    The complete legal privacy policy is at
    [whip.run/privacy](https://whip.run/privacy). This page is the friendly
    summary; that page is the binding one.

## Deleting your data

You're always in control. When you delete your account, everything private — your apps, chats, likes, follows, and personal info — is erased.
