Consent when analyzing shared chats
Ethics of running RIZR analyze on couple WhatsApp: whose export, shared knowledge, privacy — without surveillance framing.
Ethics · privacy
A WhatsApp export contains two people's words. Ethical use starts with whether you should analyze at all — not only whether the tech works.
RIZR documents privacy practices on its security page. This article adds relationship ethics: consent is not a checkbox if the other person did not know their messages left the thread.
When export is yours
You participated in the chat and export from your device for personal reflection. Lower risk than obtaining a file through someone else's account without agreement.
- Your device, your export
- Delete copies after use
- Discuss if you share results
Shared analysis
Couples who jointly agree to read a report together can use quotes as shared facts. Surprising someone with pattern printouts is weaponizing, which we discourage.
What not to do
Do not analyze a third party's chat you were not in. Do not use exports from hacked or stolen backups. Do not treat output as evidence in public shaming.
✓ Do this
- Use chat quotes
- Review the report
- Respect privacy
✕ Avoid this
- Assert infidelity
- Weaponize the report
- Ignore green flags
Export WhatsApp, review every quote, decide yourself. RIZR does not issue infidelity verdicts.
