Statusly Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 11, 2026

Statusly is designed to help you view and save photos and videos from WhatsApp statuses on your Android device.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Statusly handles information when you use the Statusly mobile application ("Statusly", "the App", or "our App").

Statusly is designed with a local-first approach. The App does not require you to create an account and the current version does not operate a server that stores your WhatsApp status photos or videos.

This Privacy Policy explains what information Statusly accesses, how that information is used, whether it is shared with third parties, and how information is retained or deleted.

2. Information Statusly Accesses

Statusly may access photos and videos stored in supported WhatsApp status media locations on your Android device when you give the App the necessary access or select the relevant folder through Android's file or folder selection system.

This access is necessary for Statusly's main functionality: displaying available WhatsApp status media so that you can view and save content to your device.

Depending on your device, Android version, and installed WhatsApp applications, Statusly may support WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business status folders.

3. How Statusly Uses Accessed Media

Statusly uses the status photos and videos it accesses to provide the App's features, including:

The current version of Statusly processes supported status media locally on your device. Statusly does not need to upload your WhatsApp status photos or videos to a Statusly server to provide these core features.

4. Information We Do Not Collect

The current version of Statusly does not require you to create an account and does not intentionally collect personal information such as:

Statusly also does not require a username or password to use its core functionality.

5. Local Storage and App Preferences

Statusly may store certain application preferences locally on your device. These may include information such as whether you have completed the onboarding process or which supported status source you last selected.

This information is stored locally on your device and is used to make the App function properly and remember your preferences.

This local preference information is not used by Statusly to identify you personally.

6. Saved Photos and Videos

When you choose to save a photo or video using Statusly, the resulting file is stored on your device according to the App's saving functionality and Android's storage system.

Statusly does not maintain a server-side copy of your saved status media as part of the App's normal operation.

Files saved by you remain on your device until you choose to delete them using the available device, gallery, file-management, or App functionality.

7. Sharing Information With Third Parties

Statusly does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

In the current version of the App, Statusly does not intentionally send your WhatsApp status photos or videos to third-party servers for storage or advertising purposes.

If you choose to use Android's sharing, opening, or other third-party functionality, the information or media you choose to share may be handled by the application or service you select. That handling is governed by the privacy policy and terms of the third party involved.

8. Third-Party Services and Software

Statusly may use third-party software libraries that are necessary to provide certain technical functions of the App.

Third-party software may process information according to its own technical operation and applicable policies.

If future versions of Statusly introduce analytics, advertising, crash reporting, cloud services, or other third-party services that collect or transmit user data, this Privacy Policy will be updated to explain the applicable data practices.

9. Advertising

The current version of Statusly does not use advertising services as part of its core functionality.

If advertising services are introduced in a future version, this Privacy Policy will be updated to explain the applicable advertising technology, data practices, and third-party services.

10. Data Security

Reasonable measures are taken to protect information handled by Statusly and to limit access to information to what is necessary for the App's functionality.

Because Statusly primarily processes supported status media locally on your Android device, your status media is not normally transmitted to a Statusly server for storage.

However, no electronic storage system or method of transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should also use the security features provided by your Android device to protect your files and information.

11. Data Retention and Deletion

Statusly does not maintain a server-side account containing your personal information.

Local application preferences remain on your device while they are needed by the App. Depending on your Android device and settings, uninstalling Statusly or clearing the App's data can remove locally stored application data.

Photos and videos that you save are files stored on your device. You can delete those files using your device's gallery, file-management application, or other available deletion functionality.

Because Statusly does not require user accounts in the current version, there is no Statusly account that you need to request deletion of.

12. Children's Privacy

Statusly is not specifically designed for children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the App. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that the matter can be reviewed.

13. WhatsApp and Meta Disclaimer

Statusly is an independent application and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected with WhatsApp or Meta Platforms, Inc.

"WhatsApp" and related names, trademarks, and logos belong to their respective owners.

Statusly is a third-party utility intended to help users manage and save status media that they are authorized to access and save.

14. Your Responsibility Regarding Saved Content

Statusly provides tools for saving media that is accessible to you on your device.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have the appropriate rights, permissions, or authorization to save, copy, share, or otherwise use any photo, video, or other content you access through the App.

You should respect the privacy, copyright, intellectual property, and other legal rights of content creators and other individuals.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to Statusly, changes in applicable laws, or changes in data practices.

When changes are made, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be updated.

You are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how Statusly handles information.
