Your chats, your rules
Your AI gets real access to your conversations. Here is exactly what ConnectChats can see, what it stores, how it is locked, and where the protection stops.
How linking works
ConnectChats connects to a chat app the way that app allows, and only to the chats you share.
-
A linked device, not your password
You link WhatsApp by scanning a QR code, the same way you set up WhatsApp Web. ConnectChats shows up in WhatsApp under Settings, Linked devices, and you can remove it there at any time.
-
Sign in with a passkey
Your ConnectChats account has no password and no email. You sign in with a passkey on your device, and the same passkey locks your stored messages.
-
Only the chats you pick
Choose which chats your AI can read. A chat you do not share never shows up in a tool call.
-
One account, every AI app
Each AI app you connect gets its own access, which you can remove in Settings without touching the others.
Your AI drafts, you approve
Reading is one thing. Sending in your name needs your OK.
-
Drafts by default
When your AI wants to send a message, it creates a draft. Nothing reaches the chat until you approve it.
-
Auto-send, only where you turn it on
You can let your AI send without asking in a chat you trust. Turning it on asks you to confirm a warning first, and you can turn it off at any time.
-
Messages are treated as untrusted
Chat messages are written by other people and can contain instructions aimed at your AI. Every tool that returns message text marks it as written by others and tells the AI to treat it as data, never as instructions.
-
Why approval stays on
Marking messages as untrusted lowers the risk of a message tricking your AI, but it does not remove it. Approving each send is the real safeguard, which is why it is the default.
How stored messages are locked
Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We keep no copy of that key, so we cannot read your stored messages.
-
What is locked
The text of your messages and drafts. It is encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a key that only your passkey can unlock, so anyone who copies our database cannot read it.
-
How the key works
Your key is made in your browser and wrapped by your passkey. We store only the wrapped copy. When your AI asks for messages, they are opened for that request and sent to your AI app.
-
Every connection uses TLS
Traffic between your browser, your AI app and our servers is encrypted in transit.
Where the protection stops
Encryption covers stored message text. These are its limits, in plain words.
-
A message is readable while it arrives
Our server is the linked device that receives your WhatsApp messages, so a message is readable there for a few minutes while it arrives. A message you send through ConnectChats stays readable until WhatsApp confirms it, which usually takes a few seconds and at most a day. Then it is locked.
-
Names and times are not locked
Chat names, contact names, phone numbers, profile pictures, the time of each message and its kind (a text, a photo, a voice note) are not encrypted.
-
Photos, voice notes and files are not kept
We keep only a short text placeholder and the caption, and those are encrypted like any message.
-
Your AI app gets what it asks for
Each AI app you connect holds a token that opens its own copy of your key. Whatever a tool returns goes to that AI provider, and its data policy applies.
-
It protects stored data, not a changed server
Someone who could change the code running on our server could capture the keys of people using it at that moment. The design protects your data at rest.
Deletion and retention
Messages are stored only while a chat app is linked, and never longer than your plan allows.
-
30 days on the free plan
The free plan keeps your messages and drafts for 30 days, then deletes them.
-
Unlinking deletes
Unlink WhatsApp in ConnectChats and we delete its chats and messages at once. Remove the ConnectChats device on your phone instead and we delete them within a few minutes.
-
Wipe everything
Wiping your data or deleting your account in Settings deletes every chat, message and draft at once.
-
If you lose your passkey
We cannot recover your account or its stored messages, because no one else holds the key. Create a new account, link WhatsApp again to import recent history, and remove the old ConnectChats device from WhatsApp.
Questions
Where are my messages stored?
On our servers, while a chat app is linked, so your AI can read and search them. The free plan keeps messages for 30 days, then deletes them. Unlink an app and we delete its chats and messages.
Encryption in transit and at rest
Every connection uses TLS. Stored message text is encrypted with AES-256-GCM, with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We keep no copy of that key, so we cannot read your stored messages.
What does the AI app see?
Only what a tool call returns: the messages your AI asked for, from the chats you allowed. Your AI app's own data policy applies to that content.
Can ConnectChats staff read my stored messages?
No. Stored message text is locked with a key that only your passkey can unlock, and we keep no copy of it. A message is readable on our server for a few minutes while it arrives, as described above.
Can my AI send messages without asking me?
Only in chats where you turned on auto-send. Everywhere else your AI writes a draft and you approve it.
Do you train AI models on my messages?
No. ConnectChats never trains on your messages and never sells your data.
