Wauchi was born with one clear goal: the utmost privacy. Here you find, plainly, what happens to your data when you use the app.
Wauchi is an app, not a service that collects data. There is no Wauchi database of users: we don’t ask you to create a Wauchi account, we don’t keep your transactions, your documents or your contracts. Everything you upload or write goes to one place only: your cloud, in your account.
Today the cloud is Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive; the apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac will add iCloud. Wauchi asks for one permission only for your files, the one for the folder reserved for apps: it doesn’t see your files, your photos or your mail, and it can’t touch them. On Drive the folder is hidden; on OneDrive you can see it, it is called Apps › Wauchi. In that folder it keeps your archive: the properties, the tenants, the contracts, the transactions read from the bank statements and the originals of the documents you uploaded.
You sign in with your Google or Microsoft account, directly in Google’s or Microsoft’s own window: your password never passes through Wauchi. The service gives the app a temporary permission, which you can revoke whenever you want from your account’s settings. With Microsoft the app also asks to read your name and your photo, to show them at the top, and to stay signed in for a day without opening the window again.
The vaultcoming soon will be the extra option for those who want the most: the archive is encrypted on your device before it is saved, with a key that stays only on your devices and in the recovery key you keep yourself. With the vault not even Google, Microsoft or Apple will be able to read your data; in return, if you lose all your devices and the recovery key, nobody will be able to get it back, not even us.
The AI assistant is there to read a contract when the app’s rules are not enough, and you use it only if you say yes the first time it is needed (you turn it on and off from Settings). This is the path: your device sends the text of the contract to our bridge, a small function that runs on Cloudflare and holds the provider’s key; the bridge passes it to the artificial intelligence, today Mistral on Scaleway’s servers, in France; the answer comes back to your device. Neither the bridge nor the provider keeps the document, and nothing is used to train the AI.
Before sending, we replace the names of the people already in your archive with placeholders; a digital PDF goes as text, never as an image; photos and scans go as images, because there is no other way to read them. The contract also contains your tenant’s data: if you’d rather it never left your device, leave the AI off and enter the contract’s details yourself.
For a question write to aiuto@wauchi.com; for privacy and personal data to privacy@wauchi.com. The full privacy policy and terms of service will arrive when the app is published.
