Frequently asked questions

Straight answers. No runaround.


Trust & legitimacy

Is Whalewatch affiliated with Chaturbate?

No. Whalewatch is an independent product built by Nino Labs LLC. We use Chaturbate's public Events API — the same one any model can generate from their settings page. No partnership, no sponsorship, no data-sharing agreement.

What is Whalewatch?

An intelligence layer for your Chaturbate room. It reads who's watching, scores them from whale to barnacle, flags threats in chat, and prompts you with what to say when it matters. Your stream, your decisions — better signal.

Is this allowed on Chaturbate?

Yes. Whalewatch reads chat through Chaturbate's official Events API. We don't automate your stream, don't send messages as you, don't bypass any rate limits. Everything we do, you could do manually — we just do it faster. It's a read-only lens.

Can my viewers tell I'm using Whalewatch?

No. Whalewatch runs on your machine. Your viewers see the same stream they always did. No overlays, no bot messages, no tells. If your browser or OBS wouldn't reveal it, Whalewatch doesn't either.

Who is behind this?

A small team in Miami — Nino Labs LLC. No crypto. No VCs. No investors pressuring us to ship features you don't want.

Why is the app not signed?

We're mid-way through the Apple Developer ID and Windows signing process. For the beta you'll see a macOS “unidentified developer” or Windows SmartScreen warning on first launch — right-click the app and choose Open (Mac) or More Info then Run Anyway (Windows). We'll have this cleaned up before public launch.

How it works

Does it work with OBS, Streamlabs, or other streaming software?

Yes. Whalewatch runs alongside whatever you already use. It doesn't touch your encoder, your scenes, your audio, or your stream settings. It reads your Chaturbate room data in parallel.

Why a desktop app instead of a Chrome extension?

Desktop app

Faster. Private. Own update path.

Chrome extension

Security risk. CB blocks most.

Does it work on a different PC or while touring?

1 key

locked

Single-device per key. Tour-mode is on the list.

Access

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. $40/month via Stripe. One click from your account page opens the billing portal — cancel there and access ends at the close of the current billing period. No retention calls, no cancellation fees.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. 30 days, no questions — email hello@getww.app. If the tool doesn't click for you, we'd rather have you happy somewhere else than stuck here.

What happens when my invite window expires?

Invite codes have a short window. Once it expires, the code stops working. Ask the member who sent it for a refresh, or join the waitlist for the next batch.

How do I get an invite?

Invites come from members already inside. Each member has a limited allocation. If you don't have a code, join the waitlist — we drip new invites as the network grows.

Privacy & safety

What data do you see and where does it live?

We see your license key, the public chat from the rooms you connect, tips as the platform already publishes them, and viewer identity as the platform shows it. Data lives encrypted on our servers for 90 days then purges. We don't sell it. We don't share it. We never subpoena-share without notifying you first.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

Your license pauses. Your history stays on our servers through the normal 90-day retention window, then purges on schedule — resubscribe inside that window and pick up where you left off. Want it wiped immediately? Email hello@getww.app and we'll delete on request.

Do you keep recordings of my stream?

no video. ever.

Chat metadata + tip records only.

Tech & platforms

Do you support Stripchat, Chaturbate, other platforms?

Chaturbate is the only platform supported in beta. Stripchat and others are on the roadmap — if you stream on another platform, email hello@getww.app and let us know which one so we prioritize correctly.
