Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 27th July, 2025
Last Updated: 27th July, 2025
This Privacy Policy describes how Maziwa LLC ("Cognition," "we," "us," or "our") handles information in relation to our WhatsApp chat analysis service available at cognitioncv.com (the "Service").
1. Information Collection and Use
Your WhatsApp Conversations Are Never Collected
Cognition employs revolutionary client-side architecture that makes data collection impossible:
Zero Server Contact: Your messages don't touch our infrastructure. Not during upload. Not during processing. Not ever.
Browser-Only Processing: All analysis occurs exclusively in your web browser using WebAssembly
No Digital Footprint: No cloud backups, no analytics tracking, no cookies remembering content, no logs, no traces, no exceptions
Verifiable Privacy: Open your browser's developer tools, click the Network tab, and verify yourself—no data flows to our servers
1.2 Limited Information We Collect
Account Information (via Clerk)
Email address for authentication
Encrypted password
Account creation date
Last login timestamp
Payment Information (via Stripe)
Payment method token (we never see full card details)
Transaction identifier
Purchase date and amount
Billing email address
Basic Technical Information
Browser type and version (for compatibility only)
General geographic location (country level from IP)
Error logs that contain no personal data
1.3 How We Use Information
The limited information we collect is used solely to:
Authenticate your access to the Service
Process your one-time payment
Provide customer support
Ensure Service compatibility
Comply with legal obligations
2. Data Processing Architecture
2.1 The Client-Side Revolution
Everything happens in YOUR browser. Unlike every other analytics app, Cognition never sees your data. Your conversations analyze themselves—we just provide the mirror.
2.2 End-to-End Processing Flow
2.3 Direct Browser-to-AI Architecture
All API calls originate directly from your browser to Google's Gemini API endpoints. No intermediary servers. No proxies. No data routing through our infrastructure.
3. Information Sharing and Disclosure
3.1 We Cannot Share What We Don't Have
Since your WhatsApp conversations never reach our servers, sharing them is architecturally impossible.
3.2 Limited Sharing of Account Information
We may share your email address only:
With Clerk for authentication services
With Stripe for payment processing
When required by law (though we'll resist where possible)
With your explicit consent
3.3 Government Requests Return Empty
Subpoenas, warrants, court orders—they all receive the same response: we have no conversation data to provide. Not won't provide. Can't provide. Your privacy is architecturally guaranteed.
4. Third-Party Services
4.1 Google Gemini (AI Processing)
Processes data directly from your browser
Never touches our servers
Under Gemini's enterprise terms, conversations are never used for model training
Data analyzed in milliseconds then permanently deleted
Verify yourself: API calls go directly to generativelanguage.googleapis.com
4.2 Clerk (Authentication)
Maintains minimal authentication data in isolation
Cannot access conversation content (none exists in our system)
Subject to Clerk's privacy policy for authentication data only
4.3 Stripe (Payments)
Handles PCI-compliant payment processing
Has zero access to conversation data
Maintains only transaction records
Subject to Stripe's privacy policy
5. Data Security
5.1 Why This Architecture Matters
Data Breaches Can't Touch You
When Target gets hacked, millions suffer. When Facebook leaks data, billions are exposed. When Cognition gets hacked? Nothing happens. Because we have nothing. Your data never existed on our servers.
Employee Access Impossible
Even we can't read your conversations. Our own team, our CEO, our engineers—nobody can access what was never uploaded. This isn't policy; it's physics.
5.2 Security Comparison
Traditional Apps:
Upload your data to their servers
Store conversations in their databases
Employees can potentially access
Vulnerable to breaches
Can be subpoenaed
Track your usage patterns
Cognition:
Everything stays in your browser
No server storage whatsoever
Impossible employee access
Breach-proof architecture
Nothing to subpoena
Zero tracking or analytics
5.3 Additional Security Features
Automatic Data Purging: The moment you close your browser tab, every trace vanishes. No cleanup needed. No "delete my data" requests.
Verifiable Security: Don't trust—verify. Use your browser's developer tools to confirm no data leaves your device.
6. Data Retention
6.1 Conversation Data
Retention Period: Zero (never stored on our servers)
Browser Storage: Temporary, cleared on tab closure
Our Access: None
6.2 Account Data
Active Accounts: Retained while account exists
After Deletion: Removed within 30 days
Payment Records: 7 years (tax law requirement)
7. Your Rights
7.1 Universal Rights
You have the right to:
Access: Request the limited account data we maintain
Rectification: Correct your email or account information
Erasure: Delete your account entirely
Verification: Confirm our privacy practices yourself using browser tools
Objection: Opt-out of any optional communications
7.2 Regional Rights
California Residents (CCPA)
Right to know what personal information is collected (detailed above)
Right to delete personal information
Right to opt-out of sale (we never sell any data)
Right to non-discrimination
EU/UK Residents (GDPR)
Right to data portability
Right to withdraw consent
Right to lodge complaints with supervisory authorities
Right to restriction of processing
8. Children's Privacy
The Service is not intended for users under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If we discover underage usage, we terminate the account and delete all associated data.
9. International Data Transfers
Since conversation data never leaves your browser, there are no international transfers of chat data. Limited account data may be processed in the United States by our service providers under appropriate safeguards
10. Cookies and Tracking
We use minimal, essential cookies only for:
Session authentication (via Clerk)
Basic security functions
Behavioral profiling
Analytics cookies
Advertising cookies
Cross-site tracking
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. For material changes, we will:
Email registered users
Display prominent website notices
Provide 30 days notice before changes take effect
12. The Privacy Promise
Your conversations achieve greater privacy through Cognition than native WhatsApp storage. We've architected physical impossibility of data exfiltration through zero-knowledge architecture. Data access isn't restricted—it's architecturally impossible.
