How Whisper iOS handles data
1. Publisher
This page concerns the Whisper iOS mobile application, published by Vincent Gengembre.
For any question related to privacy, support or the exercise of your rights, you can write to pro.gengembre.vincent@gmail.com.
2. Nature of the service
Whisper iOS is an iPhone application that lets users connect to a Whisper server, join servers, access text and voice channels, manage their profile and interact with other users.
The application works as a mobile client. A significant part of the data depends on the server configured by the user or by their organization.
3. Data that may be processed
Depending on how the service is used, Whisper iOS may process the configured server address, session and authentication data, profile information, message content, metadata related to channels and servers, as well as local preferences such as notification settings.
If push notifications are enabled, a device identifier or notification token may be sent to the configured Whisper server so alerts can be delivered to your device.
4. Purposes of processing
Data is used to allow connection to the server, maintain the user session, display messages and channels, manage social interactions, send notifications, improve app stability and provide the requested support.
Whisper iOS is not intended to use personal data for advertising purposes.
5. Legal basis
Processing strictly necessary for the operation of the application is based on the execution of the service requested by the user.
Notifications and certain device permissions may rely on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time from iOS settings.
6. Data retention
Information necessary for the local operation of the application is kept for as long as it is useful for the service, then deleted when the user signs out, deletes the application or resets local data, depending on the case.
Content and data hosted by the Whisper server you use are retained according to the rules defined by that server administrator.
7. Data recipients
Data is primarily intended for the Whisper server configured by the user or by their organization.
Depending on the enabled features, some technical data may transit through infrastructure providers necessary for mobile operation, including Apple for notifications and, where relevant, services used by the server infrastructure.
8. Security
Whisper iOS implements reasonable security measures to protect local data and sessions, including the use of secure storage mechanisms provided by iOS where applicable.
The overall security of the service also depends on the configuration of the Whisper server in use, its hosting, its administration and the practices of its operators.
9. Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may request access, rectification, deletion or restriction of processing of data concerning you where those rights apply.
To exercise your rights or report a difficulty, contact pro.gengembre.vincent@gmail.com. If your request concerns content or data stored by a third-party Whisper server, you may also need to contact the administrator of the relevant server.
