Privacy Policy — WhatsApp Web Call Recorder

Last updated: 2026-08-05

Summary

WhatsApp Web Call Recorder does not collect, store, transmit, or share any user data. Everything the extension does happens locally on your device.

What the extension does

• Records the audio (and, in "All" mode, video) of your active WhatsApp Web call, only when you click "Start recording."
• Saves the resulting file(s) directly to your browser's Downloads folder.
• Remembers your last-chosen recording mode locally, using Chrome's storage.local API, so you don't have to re-select it each time.

What the extension does not do

• It does not send any data — recordings, metadata, or anything else — to any server. There is no backend for this extension; it has none to send data to.
• It does not read your messages, contacts, chat history, or any WhatsApp Web page content beyond detecting that you're on web.whatsapp.com and showing a small on-page recording indicator.
• It does not use analytics, tracking, or advertising of any kind.
• It does not access any website other than web.whatsapp.com.

Recordings

Recorded files are written straight to your local Downloads folder using Chrome's downloads API. The extension does not keep a copy, does not read the file back afterward, and has no way to access it once saved. What you do with the recording — keep it, delete it, share it — is entirely up to you and happens outside the extension.

Third parties

This extension does not integrate with, or share data with, any third-party service.

Your responsibility as the recording party

Recording a call may require the other participant's knowledge or consent depending on your jurisdiction — some places require only the recording party's consent, others require everyone on the call to agree. This is a legal question about how you use the extension, not something the extension itself can determine or enforce, and it is your responsibility to check the rules that apply to you before recording a call with someone else.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the update will be reflected here with a new "Last updated" date.
