Waypost

Privacy, the short version

These are the rules Waypost is built on, in plain words. The full privacy notice will be published on this page before the pilot opens.

Invite-only

Your group’s organizer approves each phone number. A forwarded invite link alone gets no one in.

No location tracking

Waypost never asks where you are. You search by neighborhood name.

Counts, not names

A place shows how many members recommend it, never who.

Months, not days

Dates show the month a place was last confirmed, so nobody can tell who was there yesterday.

Your searches stay yours

What you search for isn’t saved to your name.

Leave anytime

Reply DELETE ME and your account, notes and recommendations are erased from the live database within 30 days, and roll off automated database backups as those backups expire.

Waypost uses WhatsApp’s business platform, so messages to Waypost pass through Meta’s servers, as they do for any business on WhatsApp. Hosting platforms (Netlify and Supabase) keep short-lived request logs that include IP addresses for security and operations.
