WAAIV

WAAIV ("we", "the service") is an artificial intelligence service that checks whether an image was likely generated or edited by AI. When you interact with WAAIV — including over WhatsApp — you are talking to an AI system, not a human. This page explains what data we collect and how it is used. By using WAAIV, you agree to the practices described here.

WHAT WE COLLECT
  • Images you submit for analysis.
  • Your phone number (WhatsApp channel) or account identifier (web channel), used only to identify your requests and enforce fair-use limits.
  • Scan results: the AI-detection score and verdict produced for each image.
  • Chat messages you send us about a scan result.
HOW IT'S USED

Solely to provide the image-verification service: analyzing your image, storing the result so you can ask follow-up questions about it, and enforcing fair-use limits. We do not use your data for advertising and we do not sell it.

THIRD PARTIES WE SHARE DATA WITH

To analyze an image, we send it to one or more third-party AI-detection providers. To generate a plain-language explanation of the result, we send the providers' output (and basic technical metadata extracted from the image, such as dimensions and EXIF data) to our AI language model provider. Each of these providers processes data under their own privacy policy.

STORAGE AND RETENTION

Images, scan results, and chat messages are stored on secure cloud infrastructure, only for as long as needed to provide the service. We retain and delete this data in line with our internal retention policy, which follows current data protection regulations and market best practices. You can request earlier deletion at any time by contacting us (below).

YOUR RIGHTS

Regardless of where you connect from, you may ask us at any time to access, correct, or delete your data before its automatic retention period ends.

DEVELOPMENT STATUS AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

WAAIV is an early-stage project currently under active development. While every reasonable effort is made to handle data responsibly and in line with the principles set out in this policy, some operational and technical measures required for full compliance with the Meta Platform Terms, the WhatsApp Business Messaging Policy, and applicable data protection legislation in the jurisdictions our users connect from worldwide may still be in the process of being implemented as the service matures. We are committed to achieving and maintaining full compliance with all such policies and laws within a reasonable timeframe, and to updating this policy accordingly as those measures are put in place.

RESOLUTION OF CONCERNS AND DISPUTES

If you, a platform operator, or any regulatory authority identifies a concern, alleged non-compliance, or dispute relating to this service or this policy, we request that you first contact us directly at the email address below before pursuing any other action. We will make good-faith, prompt efforts to review, respond to, and, where warranted, remedy any such concern amicably and cooperatively.
