Privacy Policy for Whatshappening mobile App

Effective Date: June 17, 2025

Version: 1.0

At Whatshappening.ai, your privacy is not just a legal requirement — it's a core part of what we believe in. We understand that your journal entries are deeply personal, and we treat them with the respect and confidentiality they deserve. This policy explains how we handle your data, what we collect, and how we protect it in clear language.

Whatshappening.ai is a service provided by Abhinav Rai, and we operate in full compliance with the UK GDPR and, where applicable, the EU GDPR. If you have any questions about this policy, please don't hesitate to email us at abhi@whatshappening.ai

What Information We Collect

When you sign up using Google or Apple, we receive your name, profile photo, and email address(can be masked private relay in case of apple) from the provider to create your account. Authentication is handled securely via OAuth — we do not access your password.


How We Protect Your Privacy

Your entries are private. Employees do not access your recordings or transcripts unless explicitly required by law (e.g., a valid court order). Third-party providers (Supabase) also follow strict protocols and cannot access your data without legal mandates. All your entries in Supabase are encrypted using industry standard encryption - AES-256-CBC.


Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data to provide the Whatshappening service you signed up for. By creating an account and using the app, you consent to the processing of your data for the sole purpose of delivering this service.

Special Categories of Data

If your entries contain sensitive data (such as information about your health or mental state), you are choosing to provide that data voluntarily. It is processed solely to deliver the service to you. This qualifies as explicit consent under Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, based on your affirmative action of using the app.


Children's Privacy

WhatsHappening is not intended for individuals under 13 years old (or under 16 in the EU where applicable). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.


Third-Party Processors

We work with the following processors, who operate solely on our instructions and DO NOT use your data for their own purposes:


International Transfers

Your data may be processed outside the UK and EU. We rely on trusted providers — including DigitalOcean, Supabase, Anthropic, and Deepgram. DigitalOcean, Supabase, Anthropic, and Deepgram include GDPR-compliant Data Processing Addendums (DPAs) in their service terms.

All transfers use Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to meet GDPR requirements. Anthropic does not use your data to train its models.


Data Security

We implement robust security measures, including encryption, access control, and regular audits, to protect your data from unauthorized access or misuse.

We retain your data until you delete your account or request deletion. You can request removal of your data at any time by contacting us at abhi@whatshappening.ai. You can also delete your data from inside the app by choosing Settings > Danger > Delete My Account and All Data.
