What the service is

Kahal Yaad is a tool that lets business owners, organizations and communities broadcast messages to WhatsApp groups they manage, handle incoming private messages, run automated replies, and run referral ("bring a friend") campaigns. It connects to WhatsApp through the customer's own phone number.

Information we process

• Group members: phone numbers and display names of members of the groups the customer manages, as provided by WhatsApp. Used to count reach, detect joins and leaves, and deliver messages.
• Messages: messages the customer posts in their source groups (to be broadcast) and private messages people send to the customer's number (shown to the customer in an inbox and, if enabled, answered automatically).
• Files: images, videos and documents the customer uploads for sending.
• Account details: the customer's name, phone, email, username and an encrypted password.
• Usage data: number of sends, timing, success or failure, used for operations, support and billing.

What we do not do

• We do not sell or share personal information with third parties for marketing.
• We do not message people who did not contact the customer, and we do not add people to groups.
• We do not use customers' messages for any purpose other than running the service. For operations and support, the service operator and automation tools he runs, including AI tools, may access the data.
• Each customer's data is stored separately and is never merged.

Where data is stored and how it is protected

Data is stored on a server we operate in the European Union. Access is protected by encryption keys, passwords are stored hashed, and all traffic to the dashboard is encrypted (HTTPS). Daily backups are kept for recovery.

Third-party services

• WhatsApp (Meta): all messages are transmitted through WhatsApp and are subject to Meta's terms and privacy policy. Kahal Yaad is not affiliated with or endorsed by Meta.
• Google: only if the customer connects a Google account (for example to back up data to Google Sheets or Google Drive). In that case we access only the files and sheets needed for that feature. The data is stored in the customer's own Google account, or in the service operator's Google account shared with the customer, and Google user data is used solely to provide that feature. We do not transfer Google user data to anyone else, and we do not use it for advertising. Google API usage complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
• AI providers: only if the customer enables AI-assisted replies, the text of an incoming message is sent to an AI provider (Google Gemini) to draft an answer.

Retention

Data is kept for as long as the account is active. You can ask us to delete your data at any time. Group membership data is continuously updated from WhatsApp; people who leave a group are marked as having left.

Your rights

Customers can view and delete their data in the dashboard or by contacting us. If you are a group member or you messaged a customer's number and you want to know what is stored about you or have it deleted, contact us and we will handle the request or refer you to the relevant customer. You can leave any WhatsApp group at any time.

Cookies and browser storage

The dashboard stores a login token and display preferences in your browser so you stay signed in. There are no third-party cookies and no advertising tracking.

Children

The service is intended for users aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information about children.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date at the top of this page and notify customers in the dashboard about material changes.
