Is DryText safe? What happens to an uploaded chat
Before using a dry text analyzer, inspect what is uploaded, where the chat is used, how long it remains, and how you can delete it. These controls lower risk but do not make any online service risk-free.

What is uploaded
DryText accepts a WhatsApp TXT transcript up to 25MB, or a ZIP archive up to 100MB with an extracted TXT transcript up to 25MB. iMessage uses a TXT export up to 25MB. WhatsApp ZIP files are extracted in your browser, but the transcript is uploaded for analysis; local extraction does not mean the conversation stays on your device. Media is not analyzed.
Before uploading, confirm that you selected the intended chat and remove details you do not need. See the WhatsApp export guide for format limits and a privacy checklist.
Where AI enters the process
The transcript needed for your requested analysis is sent to the configured AI provider. The product then checks quoted evidence against the uploaded transcript and labels the confidence of each report section. This reduces unsupported claims; it does not make every interpretation objectively true.
Retention and deletion
- No report created: transcript deletion within 48 hours.
- Report created: transcript deletion within seven days of the latest report.
- User control: delete the conversation or report earlier from your account.
- Operational records: account, order and support records may be retained as described in the privacy policy.
Use it responsibly
Ask yourself whether everyone whose messages appear in the export would reasonably expect this use. Remove media and unrelated content. Do not use an AI report to make medical, legal, employment or safety-critical decisions.
Reduce what you expose
Use the shortest representative period that can answer your question. Review participant names and remove unrelated personal details before uploading. Never include passwords, payment credentials, identity documents, health records or information that could put somebody at risk. The service can limit retention and access, but the safest unnecessary data is data you never upload.
Read the controls before choosing an upload
Use the WhatsApp export guide to check TXT and ZIP handling, and review the Privacy Policy for the full data practices. The How DryText Works guide explains evidence and interpretation limits. If you would rather keep messages offline, compare the manual and human alternatives.
Frequently asked questions
Is DryText safe to use?
The service uses HTTPS, private application storage and limited retention controls, but no online service is risk-free. Remove media, avoid uploading highly sensitive conversations, and only upload chats you are entitled to use.
How long is my chat stored?
A transcript is deleted within 48 hours if no report is created, or within seven days after the latest report. You can delete it sooner from your account.
Is my full conversation made public?
No. Raw conversations are not public pages. The transcript is processed to create the report you request, and only short evidence excerpts appear inside your private report.
Is payment information stored by the site?
Card details are handled by the configured payment provider. The application stores the order and entitlement records needed to deliver the purchase, not your full card number.
