1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how Sharma Tech Labs (“we”, “us”, or “our”) handles information in connection with the Android application WhatsApp Status Saver, package name com.sharmatechlabs.whatsappstatussaver (the “App”).
The App is designed to help you view, preview and save WhatsApp status media that is already available on your device. Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with it, you should not use the App.
This document is an informational privacy notice. It does not create rights beyond those required by applicable law.
2. Information We Collect
WhatsApp Status Saver does not ask you to create an account and does not request WhatsApp login credentials, usernames or passwords.
Depending on how you use the App and which version you install, the following types of information may be processed:
- On-device media. Status images and videos that are already stored in locations accessible on your device, which you choose to view, preview or save.
- Device and app information. Technical details that Android or third-party libraries may process in order for the App to function, such as device type, operating system version, language, app version or crash diagnostics.
- Approximate identifiers. Advertising or analytics SDKs, if present in a given version, may process advertising IDs or similar identifiers according to their own policies and Android settings.
We do not require you to submit personal profile information such as your name, phone number or WhatsApp account details in order to use the core saving features.
3. Media and Device Storage
The App is intended to access status media from locations available on your device and to save copies locally when you choose to do so. Media that you select, preview or save is handled according to Android storage and media permissions and the App’s on-device functionality.
Saved files typically remain on your device in folders chosen by the App or by the Android system. We do not operate a cloud backup of your status media through this App. If you uninstall the App, files you previously saved to device storage may still remain until you delete them yourself.
You are responsible for the media you choose to save and for how you use it. The App does not grant you ownership of content created by others.
4. Permissions
The App may request Android permissions that are reasonably needed for its features, which can include:
- Access to photos, videos, files or storage, so the App can display and save status media available on the device.
- Notification permission, if you enable alerts about new status content.
- Other permissions required by the Android system or by libraries bundled with a particular version of the App.
You can review and change many permissions in your device settings. If you deny a permission, some features may not work as expected.
5. How We Use Information
Information processed by the App is used to:
- Provide core features such as browsing, previewing and saving status media on your device.
- Remember preferences you set in the App, such as theme or notification options, where stored locally.
- Operate, maintain and improve the App, including diagnosing crashes or technical issues when such tools are included.
- Display advertising or measure app usage, if those services are included in the version you install.
- Comply with legal obligations where applicable.
We do not use the App to collect WhatsApp passwords or to sign in to your WhatsApp account.
6. Third-Party Services
Depending on the version of the application, the App may use third-party services for analytics, advertising, crash reporting, distribution or other functionality. Those providers process information under their own privacy policies and may be located outside your country.
Google Play and related Google services may also process install, update and device information when you download the App from the Play Store. We do not control Google’s practices.
This policy does not list every possible SDK by name, because bundled services can change between versions. If a third-party service is presented in-app (for example, an ad or a link), you should review that provider’s own notices as well.
7. Advertising
Some versions of the App may display advertisements supplied by third-party advertising networks. Those networks may collect or receive device identifiers, approximate location derived from IP address, interaction data and similar technical information in order to provide and measure ads.
You may be able to limit ad personalization through Android advertising settings or equivalent controls offered by Google. Disabling personalized ads does not always remove advertising entirely.
We do not sell your WhatsApp messages or status media as a product. Advertising, if shown, is provided through third-party networks according to their terms.
8. Analytics
Depending on the version of the application, the App may use third-party analytics or crash-reporting tools to understand how the App performs, which screens are used and where errors occur. These tools typically process technical and usage events rather than the contents of your saved media.
Analytics providers have their own privacy policies. Data collected for analytics, if any, is used to improve stability and features, not to log into WhatsApp on your behalf.
9. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to a lightweight Android utility, including relying on the security features of the Android platform. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hardware loss or software vulnerabilities will never occur.
You can help protect your information by keeping your device updated, using a screen lock and reviewing app permissions.
10. Data Retention
Media that you save remains on your device until you delete it or until the operating system removes it. Local preferences generally remain until you clear app data or uninstall the App.
If third-party advertising or analytics services are used, those providers may retain technical data according to their own retention schedules, which we do not fully control.
11. Children's Privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it where we are able to do so.
12. Third-Party Links
The App or this website may contain links to third-party websites, stores or services, including Google Play. Those destinations are not operated by us. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and we are not responsible for their content or handling of information.
13. WhatsApp Disclaimer
WhatsApp Status Saver is an independent third-party application. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected to WhatsApp LLC or Meta Platforms, Inc. WhatsApp is a trademark of WhatsApp LLC.
The App does not require WhatsApp login credentials. It is intended to help you manage media that is already available on your own device. Use of the App is not a substitute for WhatsApp’s own features, terms or privacy policy.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example when the App’s features, permissions or third-party services change, or when the law requires it. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when we do so.
Continued use of the App after an update means you should review the revised policy. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice in the App or on this website where practical.
