WebDual Privacy Policy

App: WebDual: Dual Web Scanner (com.redfox.webdual) · Developer: Redfoxappstudio · Effective 1 October 2026

WebDual is an independent utility. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to WhatsApp LLC or Meta. This policy explains what the app accesses, why, and what happens to it.

Summary

Web sessions

WebDual opens the official web client of your messaging service inside the app, with a separate, isolated storage profile for each account you link. Messages, contacts and attachments you send or receive in a session travel directly between your phone and that service, under that service's own privacy policy. WebDual does not copy, read for its own purposes, or transmit this content anywhere else. Session cookies and site storage are kept on your phone. Removing an added account deletes its profile; the main account's session is cleared with Log out inside the session.

Message history (notification access)

If you choose to turn it on, WebDual uses Android's notification access to read the text of incoming message notifications (sender name, message text and time) from supported messaging apps, and saves them in a local database on your phone. The only purpose is to let you read a message again after the sender deletes it. This data is never uploaded. It leaves your phone only if you share it (Share on a conversation) or copy a message and paste it elsewhere. You can turn capture off in Settings, clear the history from the Message history screen, or revoke notification access in Android settings at any time. Uninstalling the app deletes the history.

Status saver and saved media

To show statuses you have already viewed, WebDual reads your messaging app's status folder on your phone. On Android 11 and later you can pick that folder with Android's system folder picker, which limits the app to the folder you grant. On Android 12 and earlier, if you allow storage access, the app also reads the known status folders of WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business directly. Status files are only read on your phone and never uploaded. Files you choose to save are written to your phone's shared storage (Pictures/WebDual and Movies/WebDual).

Photos and videos you download inside a web session are saved to Pictures/WebDual or Movies/WebDual; documents, audio and other downloads go to Downloads/WebDual.

Camera and microphone

Requested only when you take a photo or record a voice note inside a web session, and used only to pass that photo or recording to the web client you are using.

Other on-device data

Quick replies, message reminders, direct-chat number history, app lock and display settings are stored only on your phone. App lock uses Android's biometric or device-credential prompt; WebDual never sees your fingerprint, face data or PIN.

Backups

WebDual excludes its web sessions, captured messages and settings from Android cloud backup and device-to-device transfer, so none of it is copied to your Google account backup.

Children

WebDual is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly process data from them.

Data deletion

Because we hold no data on servers, there is nothing for us to delete on request. App data (sessions, message history, settings) can be deleted on your phone by clearing it in the app, clearing the app's storage in Android settings, or uninstalling the app. Files you saved to Pictures/WebDual, Movies/WebDual or Downloads/WebDual are ordinary shared files and stay on your phone after uninstalling; delete photos and videos from the app's Clean up screen or your gallery, and downloads from your Files app.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address with a new effective date.
