Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information the Status Saver Android app ("the app", "we") accesses, how it is used, and the choices you have. We wrote it to be read, not skimmed: the short version is that the app works entirely on your phone and does not send your statuses, photos, videos or personal information to us or anyone else.
1. What the app does
Status Saver lets you view the WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business statuses you have already opened in those apps, and save copies of them to your phone's gallery before they expire. Everything happens locally on your device.
2. Information the app accesses
- Status media folder. With your permission, the app reads the folder where WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business keep statuses you have viewed (for example
Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Media/.Statuses). On Android 11 and newer you grant this by choosing that folder in the system folder picker; on older versions you grant the standard storage permission. The app reads only this folder. It does not read your chats, contacts, messages or any other files. - Gallery (saved copies). When you tap Save, the app writes a copy of the status into
Pictures/StatusSaverorMovies/StatusSaveron your device so it appears in your gallery. The app can list and delete only the files it created there. - Installed apps. The app checks whether WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business are installed so it can show the right tabs. It does not collect a list of your other apps.
- Notifications. If you allow notifications, the app periodically checks the status folder in the background and shows an alert when new statuses appear. This check runs on your phone; nothing is transmitted.
3. Information we collect
None. The app has no account system, no sign-in, and no server of ours that it talks to. We do not collect, store or receive your name, phone number, contacts, location, statuses, photos, videos or usage data. Your preferences (theme, chosen app, notification setting, save count for the rating prompt) are stored only on your device and are deleted when you uninstall the app.
4. Third-party services
- Google Play. The app is distributed through Google Play. Google may collect installation and crash statistics under its own policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
- WhatsApp. The statuses you see belong to the people who posted them and are governed by WhatsApp's terms. Status Saver is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with WhatsApp LLC or Meta Platforms, Inc.
5. Sharing and reposting
When you use Share or Repost, the app hands the selected file to the app you choose (for example WhatsApp) through the standard Android share system. From that point the receiving app's policies apply. We never see what you share or with whom.
6. Your responsibilities
Statuses are posted by other people. Please respect their privacy and rights: save and reshare content only where you have permission to do so, and do not use the app to harass, impersonate or infringe on anyone.
7. Children
The app is not directed at children under 13 (or the age of digital consent in your country) and we do not knowingly collect information from them. Since the app collects no personal data, no such information is held.
8. Security
Because your data never leaves your device, its security depends on your phone's own protections. We recommend keeping your device locked and up to date.
9. Your rights
You can revoke the app's folder access at any time in your phone's Settings, and remove saved copies from your gallery whenever you like. Uninstalling the app deletes all of its settings. Users in Nigeria have rights under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, and users elsewhere may have rights under laws such as the GDPR; since we hold no personal data, there is nothing for us to access, correct or erase, but you can still contact us with any question.
10. Changes to this policy
If the app starts doing something new with data (for example, adding advertising), we will update this page and change the date at the top before that version is released.
