AI providers and third parties
Message generation uses external AI services. When you generate a message, your inputs are sent to our AI provider (Groq) for processing. We do not sell your data to any third party. We also use Resend for transactional email delivery.
Email communications
We only send emails when you explicitly opt in. Every reminder email includes a working unsubscribe link. We comply with CAN-SPAM: our postal address and an unsubscribe mechanism are included in all marketing emails.
Your rights
- Access: View your saved data in your account dashboard.
- Delete: Delete individual items or your entire account from account settings.
- Opt-out: Use the unsubscribe link in any email or turn off notifications in settings.

Children
WhatToWrite is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We use HTTPS, secure httpOnly session cookies, and server-side API keys. We minimize data retention and do not log personal details from generation inputs in identifiable form.
