Security
Your customers trust you with their number. We take that seriously.
WhatsApp engagement means names, phone numbers, consent records and conversations. Buddy protects that data, your workspace, and the connection to your WhatsApp Business account.

Three layers of protection.
Your customer data, protected
Subscriber, consent, campaign and workspace data is encrypted in transit and at rest with our hosting and database providers.
Only the right people get in
Sign-in, workspace membership and roles mean only your team can manage your customer communication.
Official WhatsApp, never workarounds
Buddy runs on Meta's official WhatsApp Business Platform, never scraped numbers or unofficial automation.
Security is part of keeping the relationship healthy.
A customer who shares their WhatsApp number is trusting you with a direct line to them. Keeping that data safe, and messaging only with consent, is how that trust lasts.
How Buddy protects your data.
Security is built into how data is stored, accessed and sent.
Stored safely
Encrypted in transit and at rest with established hosting and database providers.
Accessed carefully
Roles and workspace membership control who can see and change what. API keys are scoped and revocable.
Sent responsibly
Every message goes through the official WhatsApp Business Platform, and only to people with an active opt-in.
The details.
Consent records for every subscriber.
When someone opted in, where, and what they agreed to, with STOP handled instantly. Privacy and messaging rules are built into how Buddy works.
Scoped, revocable API keys.
Each key belongs to one workspace and can be revoked any time.
