KeepWA — Chrome extension · Last updated: September 8, 2026
Short summary
KeepWA exports WhatsApp Web chats, contacts, and group numbers inside your browser. Chat content is never uploaded. The only things that can leave your device are: (1) a license key you paste, (2) a Contact Us message you type, and (3) nothing else — we do not run analytics on your chats.
1. Who we are
This policy is for the KeepWA Chrome extension (store name: Free WA Chat Export — Backup Chats & Contacts to PDF, CSV — KeepWA). Questions: support@calc-tech.com.
2. What the extension reads
Only on https://web.whatsapp.com, and only for the chat or list you asked to export:
- Messages, timestamps, and sender names
- Contact names
- Group participant names and phone numbers when WhatsApp shows them
That data is turned into a PDF, CSV, TXT, or HTML file on your computer. It is not stored on our servers.
3. What stays on your computer
Chrome local storage may keep:
- Language and export options (format, dates)
- License key and whether PRO is on
- A random install id used only on this browser
- Whether you hid the in-page Export button
Chat history is not saved in extension storage. Uninstalling KeepWA deletes this local data.
4. What can leave your device
Chat messages do not leave your device. These requests can:
- Contact Us. If you send a message from the panel, we receive what you typed (and an email if you entered one), plus extension version and whether PRO is on. No chat export is attached. That form goes to our feedback worker.
- License key. If you paste a PRO key, the key string may be checked with the license provider (Gumroad). No chat content is sent with it. Checkout is not live yet; this only applies when you enter a key.
We do not send chats, contacts, or group lists to a server. We do not sell your data.
5. Permissions
- storage — settings and license on this device.
- sidePanel — the KeepWA panel next to WhatsApp Web.
- offscreen — needed so large PDF files can be saved. No extra data collection.
- downloads (optional) — saves the file after you click Download and Allow.
- web.whatsapp.com — read the chat you chose to export. No other websites.
6. Children
KeepWA is not for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
7. Changes
We may update this page. The “Last updated” date will change. Using KeepWA after a change means you accept the new text.
8. Contact
Email support@calc-tech.com. You can also use Contact Us inside the extension.
