  • Delivering invoice payment links to clients automatically via WhatsApp and Email.
  • Processing client payment confirmation screenshots using automated AI-OCR parsing.
  • Dispatching payment receipts and notifying freelancers when proofs are submitted or approved.

3. Webhooks & Third-Party Processors

To run our platform integrations, we transmit data to specialized third-party services. We ensure these partners adhere to strict confidentiality guidelines:

4. Opt-Out Policy (WhatsApp Compliance)

In strict compliance with Meta Policy and local regulations regarding unsolicited communications, clients receive messages only for pending payments they owe. Clients can instantly opt out of WhatsApp notifications by replying with "STOP". Once opted out, automated delivery to that phone number is immediately suspended.

5. Security & Retention

All client-submitted screenshots, PDF invoices, and account credentials are saved using secure, SSL-encrypted transport protocols. We retain your information as long as your Virbic account remains active or to comply with accounting, legal, and financial reporting standards.
