Rogue Chat

Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Rogue Chat collects, uses, shares, and deletes information when you use the service, including account sign-in and WhatsApp messaging.

Last updated: June 30, 2026

Information we collect

When you create or access a Rogue Chat account, we collect the information needed to manage that account. If you sign in with Google through Clerk, we may receive your name, email address, profile image, and Google Account ID. We use this Google sign-in data only for authentication, account management, service communications, abuse prevention, and security.

Rogue Chat does not request or access your Gmail messages, Google Drive files, Google Calendar, Google Contacts, or other Google account content. We do not use Google sign-in data for advertising, and we do not sell it.

When you use Rogue Chat through WhatsApp, we collect the information needed to provide the service. This can include your WhatsApp phone number, WhatsApp display name, message content, image captions or image media identifiers, button interactions, delivery status, timestamps, and technical webhook payloads received from Meta.

We also store conversation session state, generated assistant responses, processing status, error details, delivery attempts, model name, token counts, latency, and estimated processing cost so we can operate, debug, and improve the service.

How we use information

We use this information to receive your WhatsApp messages, generate AI responses, send replies, preserve recent conversation context, prevent duplicate processing, handle reset requests, monitor reliability, secure the service, and respond to support or deletion requests.

We do not sell your messages. We do not use your WhatsApp conversations for advertising.

Rogue Chat is currently a closed beta. We use WhatsApp account access only to provide the messaging experience to approved users and to operate the connected WhatsApp integration.

Cookies and similar technologies

Rogue Chat and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary to provide the service, including authentication, security, fraud prevention, payment flow continuity, and account setup.

During invite-only sign-up, we may set a short-lived, HTTP-only security cookie to confirm that the same browser opened the original invitation link before we continue account setup after payment. This cookie does not contain your Clerk invitation ticket, payment details, message content, or advertising identifiers.

We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site behavioral tracking.

AI processing

Your messages and recent conversation context may be sent to OpenAI to generate assistant replies. If you send an image, the image content may also be sent to OpenAI so the assistant can respond to it.

Sharing

We share information with service providers only as needed to run Rogue Chat. These providers may include Clerk for authentication and account management, Google when you choose Google sign-in, Meta/WhatsApp for messaging delivery, OpenAI for AI response generation, AWS for queue and worker infrastructure, Supabase for database hosting, and Vercel for website hosting and deployment.

We may disclose information if required by law, to protect the security and integrity of the service, or to enforce applicable terms.

Retention

We retain WhatsApp account identifiers, conversation records, webhook records, delivery records, and operational logs for as long as needed to provide Rogue Chat, maintain conversation context, troubleshoot issues, meet legal obligations, and protect the service.

You can ask us to delete your Rogue Chat data at any time using the contact instructions below.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect the information we process. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, but we limit access to production systems and use signed webhook verification for webhook traffic.

Your choices

You can stop using Rogue Chat by no longer messaging the service on WhatsApp. You can also request access, correction, or deletion of your Rogue Chat data by contacting us.

To request deletion, email support@roguechat.ai from the email address you use for support and include the WhatsApp phone number associated with your Rogue Chat account. We may ask for confirmation before deleting data to protect against unauthorized requests.

Children

Rogue Chat is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy as the service changes. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page.
