Your data stays on your machine. By design.
SocialMate runs as a server on your own computer. There is no SocialMate cloud that can read, store, or leak your WhatsApp conversations — because there’s no “us” in the middle.
Where your data lives
Contacts, chats, messages, media, and session auth all live in a folder on your machine (~/.wa-agent-server/), stored in a local SQLite database. Nothing is transmitted to a SocialMate server for storage — there is no such server for that data. You can back it up, inspect it, and delete it. It’s yours.
Encryption & a hardened shell
- AES-256 at rest — credentials and session data are encrypted on disk.
- Hardened Electron — contextIsolation enabled, nodeIntegration disabled, and a strict Content-Security-Policy.
- Sandboxed media — media is served through a sandboxed custom protocol, not raw filesystem access.
- Immutable audit log — legal acceptance, license activation, and account changes are recorded append-only.
What we can — and cannot — see
We cannot see your WhatsApp data. There is no server of ours it flows through. What socialmate.app does handle is the website and licensing: your email and payment at checkout (via the payment processor), your license-key ↔ machine binding so Pro works, and basic, privacy-first website analytics. That’s the whole list.
Telemetry is off by default. The desktop app ships with telemetry disabled. If you ever opt in, what’s sent is coarse, contains no message content or PII, and is described plainly before you turn it on.
Your license, cryptographically bound
Pro licenses are RSA-2048 signed and machine-bound (format SM4-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX); each license includes one device, and you can add seats to run it on more computers at once. The app verifies the signature locally; a server outage never demotes you, because the app honors a grace window. Move machines anytime from your account.
Anti-ban is risk reduction — stated honestly
SocialMate’s 8-layer engine and live risk cockpit exist to reduce the risk of a ban and make it visible — not to eliminate it. No tool can guarantee against account bans. Automating WhatsApp may violate its Terms of Service. We recommend you don’t automate a number you can’t afford to lose, and let new sessions warm up over the full 72 hours.
