Safety

Is BotWave safe to use? Does it read my messages?

BotWave does not store your messages. All message processing happens in memory and is discarded immediately after the bot responds.


Here is what BotWave can and cannot access:


What BotWave can see:

  • Messages sent in groups where the bot is active (needed to detect commands)
  • Your WhatsApp session token (needed to maintain the connection)

  • What BotWave cannot do:

  • Read your private messages (unless you send a command in a private chat)
  • Access your WhatsApp contacts
  • Send messages without your bot being active
  • Access your phone data

  • Security measures:

  • Session credentials are stored in Supabase with row-level security (only you can access your own sessions)
  • API communication is encrypted
  • No plain-text secrets stored
  • Your QR session runs from your own device IP

  • BotWave is built by a small indie team focused on the African market. We have no interest in your message data. The bot only processes messages that start with the ! prefix.
