Privacy Policy
Ghost Monitor (the “Service”) helps you archive your incoming Telegram messages and recover ones that are deleted, edited, or sent as view-once. This policy explains what data we process and how.
1. Information we process
- Telegram account info. When you sign in with Telegram we receive your Telegram ID, name, and username to identify your account.
- Telegram authorization. When you link your account for monitoring, a session is created that lets the Service read your incoming messages on your behalf.
- Message data. Snapshots of incoming messages (text, sender, timestamp) and media you receive are stored so deleted or edited messages can be recovered.
- Google Drive (optional). If you connect Google Drive, we store an access token so your data can be saved in your own Drive.
2. How we use it
Your data is used solely to detect and recover deleted, edited, and one-time messages and to deliver them to you through our Telegram bot. We do not sell your data or share it with third parties for advertising.
3. Where data is stored
Backups (a SQLite database) and media are stored in your own Google Drive if you connect it, or in the Service’s shared storage otherwise. Recovery alerts are delivered only to you, in your Telegram.
4. Data retention
You control how long media is kept (a few days by default). You can unlink your account at any time, which stops monitoring and removes the stored session.
5. Your choices
You can unlink Telegram, disconnect Google Drive, change what is captured, or request deletion of your data by contacting us.
6. Security
Data in transit is protected with TLS. Access is scoped to what is needed, and alerts are sent only to you.
7. Third-party services
The Service relies on Telegram and Google (Google Drive) infrastructure. Their processing is governed by their own privacy policies.
8. Children
The Service is not intended for anyone under the age of 16.
9. Changes
We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date above.
10. Contact
