Whisper to the World™ is a digital art project and interactive platform that allows people to send anonymous, ephemeral messages visible to everyone for 24 hours. The service is operated under the brand "Whisper to the World" and accessible at wh1spr.space.
We are committed to minimal data collection. Here is exactly what we store:
We do not collect: real names, email addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, device fingerprints, GPS location, cookies for tracking, or any data from third-party services.
The data listed above is used exclusively to:
We do not sell, share, rent, or transfer any data to third parties for marketing, advertising, analytics, or any other purpose.
Whisper messages are ephemeral by design. All messages automatically expire and become inaccessible after 24 hours from creation. Expired messages are periodically purged from the database.
Cooldown records (anonymous ID + timestamp only) are retained for 48 hours to enforce posting limits, then become obsolete.
If you wish to request deletion of any data associated with your anonymous session, please contact us and we will comply promptly.
The platform uses Google Firebase (provided by Google LLC) for hosting, authentication, and database services. Firebase processes data in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy and Firebase Terms of Service.
We use Firebase Anonymous Authentication, which does not require or collect any personally identifiable information from users.
No other third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services are integrated into this platform.
Whisper to the World is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since the service uses anonymous authentication with no registration, no personal data from any user — including minors — is collected or stored.
Messages containing profanity, hate speech, or harmful language in English, Ukrainian, and Russian are automatically detected and visually blurred to protect the community. Such messages are flagged but not deleted, as they contribute to the platform's aggregate "light vs. dark" karma mechanic — a core design element.
We reserve the right to remove any content that violates applicable laws or poses a genuine safety risk.
The name "Whisper to the World", the visual design, user interface, interaction mechanics (including but not limited to: ephemeral floating message bubbles, the light/dark karma system, the dynamic corruption theme engine, and the 24-hour lifecycle concept), and all associated branding elements are the proprietary intellectual property of the creator.
Unauthorized reproduction, cloning, reverse-engineering, or creation of derivative works based on this platform's design, mechanics, or concept — in whole or in part — is strictly prohibited and may be subject to legal action under applicable intellectual property laws including but not limited to copyright, trade dress, and unfair competition statutes.
All original source code, visual assets, and creative elements are © 2025 Whisper to the World. All rights reserved.
By submitting a whisper, you grant Whisper to the World a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display your message publicly for up to 24 hours. After expiration, the content is deleted and the license terminates automatically.
You retain any rights you hold in the content of your message. You are solely responsible for the content you submit.
The service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, accuracy of content filtering, or permanent availability of the platform.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
