4. Where your phone number goes
Your phone number is your login. We send a one-time password to it over WhatsApp, and we use it to contact you about deliveries.
If you have not set a profile picture, the app shows an automatically generated illustration. A code derived from your phone number is sent to the service that generates it. No other information about you is sent, and the service does not receive your name or address.
