Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 14, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Sababa-chat (the “App,” “Service,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) — operated by Evgenii Valdman, sole proprietor (עוסק), registered in Israel (“Operator”) — collects, uses, and protects information when you use the App.

The App may be available to users in Israel, the United States, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and other regions. Additional privacy rights may apply depending on your location, as described below.

1. Independence

Sababa-chat is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or otherwise connected to WhatsApp, Meta, Facebook, or any school or educational institution.

The App has no direct integration with WhatsApp and no automatic access to your chats, chat list, contacts, groups, or message history.

You control what content is shared with the App by manually uploading a chat export or pasting chat text.

2. Data Controller

For users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, the data controller responsible for your personal data is:

Evgenii Valdman, sole proprietor (עוסק), registered in Israel
Email: hello@luminanova.net

3. Categories of Personal Information We May Process

Depending on how you use the Service, we may process the following categories of information:

  1. User-provided content: Chat text you upload or paste manually, including text from school, kindergarten, or parent group chats.
  2. Third-party information that may appear in chat text: Chat content may include names, phone numbers, emails, links, school-related information, deadlines, payment requests, forms, homework, or other information about parents, children, teachers, or school staff. We apply automated filtering before AI processing, but filtering may not detect every detail.
  3. Technical and usage data: Device type, browser type, operating system, IP address, timestamps, app version, error logs, crash data, and similar technical information.
  4. Advertising and app event data: App installs, app opens, device or app information, timestamps, and non-content app events used for advertising measurement, such as paywall views, summary generation events, or subscription-related events, if used.
  5. Purchase and subscription information: If you purchase a subscription, payment is processed by the relevant app store or payment provider. We may receive limited subscription status information, such as whether a subscription is active, expired, or renewed. We do not receive your full payment card details.
  6. Support communications: If you contact us, we may process your email address and the content of your message to respond to your request.

4. Information We Process

We may process the following categories of information:

  • Chat content you provide manually by uploading a .zip or .txt chat export file.
  • Chat text you paste manually into the App.
  • Technical and usage data collected automatically, such as device or browser type, IP address, timestamps, error information, and similar operational data needed to operate, secure, and maintain the Service.
  • Cookies or similar technologies, if used for authentication, essential functionality, security, or basic analytics.
  • Advertising measurement and app event data, such as app installs, app opens, timestamps, device or app information, and non-content app events such as paywall views, summary generation events, or subscription-related events, if used.

Media files contained in chat exports, such as images, videos, audio files, and documents, are ignored and are not used to generate summaries. Only chat text is processed.

5. How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • generate chat summaries at your request;
  • apply automated privacy filtering before AI processing;
  • send filtered chat text to Google Gemini only to generate the requested summary;
  • operate, maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the Service;
  • prevent abuse and comply with legal obligations;
  • improve the reliability, functionality, and user experience of the Service without storing chat content or generated summaries;
  • measure the performance of our advertising campaigns and understand whether our ads lead to app installs, app opens, subscriptions, or other non-content app events.

We do not sell your personal information.

We do not use chat content for advertising.

We do not use chat content to train our own AI models.

6. Automated Sanitization of Chat Content

Before chat text is sent to our AI processing provider, the App applies automated filters designed to remove or mask common sensitive details where possible, including phone numbers, email addresses, payment or banking details, national ID numbers, and links.

This filtering is designed to reduce the amount of personal or sensitive information processed by the AI provider. It is not perfect and may not detect every instance of personal or sensitive information, especially names or context-specific details inside message text.

You remain responsible for reviewing content before upload and for not submitting information you are not authorized to share.

7. AI Processing and Third-Party AI Provider

Sababa-chat uses Google Gemini as a third-party AI provider to generate chat summaries.

To create a summary, Sababa-chat sends filtered chat text to Google Gemini. The filtered chat text may be derived from a chat export file you upload or chat text you paste manually.

The filtered chat text is sent only for the purpose of generating the summary you request.

Before sending chat text to Google Gemini, Sababa-chat applies automated privacy filtering designed to remove or mask common sensitive details where possible, such as phone numbers, email addresses, links, payment or banking details, national ID numbers, and similar patterns.

Automatic privacy filtering reduces the amount of personal or sensitive information sent to the AI provider, but it is not perfect and may not detect every personal or sensitive detail.

Sababa-chat does not store uploaded chat content or generated summaries.

Google Gemini processes filtered chat text on our behalf under applicable data processing terms and safeguards intended to provide the same or equivalent protection as described in this Privacy Policy.

The App asks for your permission before filtered chat text is sent to Google Gemini.

8. User Permission Before AI Processing

Before any chat text is sent to Google Gemini, the App presents a privacy confirmation notice explaining what data is sent, who it is sent to, and why it is sent.

The user must confirm that they are 18 years or older, have the right to upload or paste the chat, and agree that filtered chat text may be sent to Google Gemini to generate the summary.

The App does not send chat text to Google Gemini until this permission is provided.

9. Legal Bases for Processing for EEA/UK Users

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on the following legal bases when processing personal data:

  • To generate a chat summary at your request: performance of a service requested by you and/or your consent.
  • To apply automated privacy filtering before AI processing: performance of the service and our legitimate interest in reducing unnecessary personal data processing.
  • To send filtered chat text to Google Gemini to generate your requested summary: your permission and performance of the service.
  • To operate, secure, troubleshoot, and maintain the Service: our legitimate interests in providing a secure and reliable service.
  • To respond to support requests: our legitimate interests and/or your consent when you contact us.
  • To process purchases and subscriptions through app stores or payment providers: performance of the service and compliance with legal obligations.
  • To comply with legal obligations: compliance with applicable law.

10. Service Providers and Third-Party Processors

We may use trusted service providers to operate the App and provide the Service. These providers process information on our behalf and only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

These may include:

  • Google Gemini / Google Cloud — to process filtered chat text and generate summaries.
  • Cloud hosting and infrastructure providers — to operate, secure, and maintain the App.
  • Analytics and crash reporting providers, if used — to understand app performance, fix errors, and improve reliability.
  • Meta/Facebook SDK and Meta App Events — to measure advertising performance, app installs, app opens, and limited non-content app events.
  • Apple App Store and Google Play — to process app downloads, subscriptions, and purchases.
  • Customer support and email providers, if used — to respond to support requests.

We do not allow service providers to use chat content for their own advertising purposes.

11. Advertising, Attribution, and App Events

We may use Meta/Facebook SDK and Meta App Events to measure the performance of our advertising campaigns, understand whether users install or open the App after seeing an ad, and improve our advertising effectiveness.

Meta may receive limited technical and event information from the App, such as app installs, app opens, device or app information, timestamps, and non-content event names such as paywall_viewed, summary_generated, subscription_started, or purchase_completed, if these events are used.

We do not send chat content, uploaded files, pasted chat text, generated summaries, names, phone numbers, email addresses, links, school names, class names, payment or banking details, national ID numbers, or other user-provided chat content to Meta.

We do not use chat content for advertising or ad targeting.

Depending on your device settings, platform rules, and our App configuration, advertising measurement may be performed using privacy-preserving attribution tools, such as Apple’s SKAdNetwork or similar platform-provided attribution technologies, and/or limited app event data.

If we request permission for tracking under Apple’s App Tracking Transparency framework, the App will ask for your permission before tracking your activity across other companies’ apps and websites.

12. International Data Transfers

Because we are based in Israel and use service providers that may operate in different countries, your information may be processed in Israel, the United States, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and other countries where our service providers operate.

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, your personal data may be transferred outside your country of residence. Where required by applicable law, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as adequacy decisions, Standard Contractual Clauses, data processing agreements, and technical and organizational security measures.

By using the Service and submitting chat content, you understand that your information may be processed in countries other than the country where you live.

13. School Chats, Children’s Information, and Third-Party Data

The Service is intended only for adults who are 18 years of age or older. The Service is not directed to children, including children under 13 in the United States or children under the age of digital consent in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom.

Children may not use the Service or submit information to the Service.

Because school and kindergarten chats may contain information about children, parents, teachers, or school staff, you must only upload or paste chat content if you have the legal right and permission to do so.

You should avoid uploading or pasting highly sensitive information about children or other people, including health information, special education needs, disciplinary matters, identification documents, precise addresses, or financial information, unless you have the legal right and a legitimate reason to do so.

By using the Service, you confirm that:

  • you are 18 years of age or older;
  • you have the necessary right or permission to upload or paste the chat content;
  • you understand that filtered chat text will be sent to Google Gemini to generate the summary;
  • you will avoid uploading sensitive information about third parties beyond what is reasonably necessary.

14. Data Storage and Retention

We do not store uploaded chat content or generated summaries.

Uploaded chat files, extracted chat text, and pasted chat text are processed transiently solely to produce your summary and are not stored in our databases after processing.

Generated summaries are shown to you in the App and are not stored by Sababa-chat.

We do not store chat history or create profiles of children, parents, teachers, or school staff.

Because processing your request involves sending filtered chat text to Google Gemini, Google Gemini may retain request data for a limited period as part of its standard infrastructure logging, as described in its applicable data processing terms. This is not storage or retention by Sababa-chat.

Basic technical and operational logs that do not contain chat content may be retained for up to 90 days for security, debugging, abuse prevention, and operational purposes, unless a longer period is required to investigate security incidents, prevent abuse, resolve disputes, or comply with legal obligations.

Advertising, analytics, crash reporting, app store, payment, and infrastructure providers may retain limited technical, event, subscription, or operational data according to their own applicable terms and data processing agreements.

15. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of personal data we hold about you. You may also have the right to object to or restrict certain processing, withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, and lodge a complaint with a data protection authority where applicable.

  • If you are located in Israel, you may have rights under the Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981, as amended.
  • If you are located in the United States, your rights may depend on your state of residence and applicable state privacy laws.
  • If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may have rights under the GDPR, UK GDPR, and related data protection laws, where applicable.

Because we do not store chat content or generated summaries, these rights primarily apply to account information, technical data, operational logs, support communications, subscription status information, and other limited information we may hold.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email address in the Contact section. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

16. Additional Notice for Certain U.S. Residents

17. Data Security

We apply technical and organizational measures intended to protect information processed by the App against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss.

These measures may include encryption in transit, access controls, limited retention, operational safeguards, and the automated sanitization described in Section 6.

No online service, database, or transmission method is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

18. Data Breach Notification

In the event of a security incident affecting personal data that requires notification under applicable law, we will notify affected users and relevant authorities within the timeframes required by law.
