Straight answers about privacy and safety on Whip: what data is stored, who sees your app data, AI providers, moderation, blocking, and deleting your account.
Whip is built on a simple privacy idea: what you build and do in apps is yours. Every player gets their own private copy of every app, creators never see your data, and public content is screened before it appears. Here are the questions people actually ask, answered plainly.
Your email, name, handle, bio, date of birth, timezone, sign-in provider,
the interests you picked, and your notification preferences — plus the
apps and chats you create. Whip does not store your phone number,
address, or payment details (there’s nothing to pay for). The
plain-language rundown lives at privacy & your
data; the legal version at
whip.run/privacy.
Can an app's creator see what I do inside their app?
No. When you open any app you get your own private
copy — your entries and saved data are
invisible to the creator and to every other player. The only thing an app
can share is a leaderboard score, if it has one,
and even that shows just your score, nothing else.
Are my build chats and prompts private?
Yes. Your builder conversations are yours — they’re not public even when
the app is, only you can download your chat attachments, and your prompt
text is never sent to analytics (only its length is).
Which AI companies power Whip?
Whip’s building and in-app AI runs on third-party providers — Google
Gemini does the heavy lifting for app generation and in-app chat, and
OpenAI helps screen public content, with Gemini double-checking. You
consent to AI features once during onboarding and can review this in
Settings. More in your data inside apps.
Can apps access the internet with my data?
Apps can only reach a curated list of about 40 safe, keyless public data
sources (weather, currency, trivia, Wikipedia…) through Whip’s own
servers. They can never browse freely, phone home, or read your
clipboard. The full safety rails.
Because it wants to use them — and on Whip, every app must ask you
directly with a real Allow/Deny prompt before its first use, per app.
Granting your camera to one app grants nothing to any other. Review or
revoke everything in Settings → Permissions. How permissions
work.
What's the consent sheet I see before opening some apps?
Apps that use AI chat, save data to your account, or fetch internet data
show a one-time sheet explaining exactly that before they first open.
I agree proceeds; Maybe later closes the sheet without opening the app.
Details here.
Yes, twice over. Everything public — app titles, descriptions, tags,
images, comments, bios, handles — passes automated screening (two
independent AI checks) before appearing, and the community can
report anything to human reviewers. If the
screening service ever goes down, content waits instead of slipping
through.
How do I report something bad?
Tap the ⋯ menu on any app, comment, or profile → Report, pick a
reason, done. Reports go to human review. Reporting,
step-by-step.
What does blocking someone actually do?
Complete mutual invisibility: you vanish from each other’s feeds, search
results, profiles, comments, and notifications — in both directions.
They’re never told. Manage it all in Settings → Blocked Users.
Blocking explained.
Why is Whip 18+?
Whip is a platform of AI-generated, user-created content — the honest
answer is that it isn’t built for kids, so Whip checks age at sign-up
and holds the line. Age requirements.
Settings → Delete Account. Whip shows you exactly what will go, then
starts a 28-day grace period during which you can cancel with one tap.
After that, everything private is permanently erased — private apps,
chats, likes, follows, personal info. Apps you published stay playable,
credited to “[deleted]”. Want those gone too?
Delete those apps first. Full detail:
delete your account.
Does uninstalling the app delete my account?
No — uninstalling just removes the app from your phone. Your account,
apps, and data wait for you. To actually delete, use the deletion
flow inside Whip.
