Privacy Policy

1. Information We Do Not Collect

Consistent with our product design, Wantly does not request, collect, or store personal identifiers that can be used to recognize you outside the Service. Specifically, we do not collect:

• Names, email addresses, phone numbers, or social handles
• Physical addresses or contact lists
• Shopping history, purchase receipts, or payment information
• Advertising identifiers, behavioral tracking data, or third-party analytics profiles

Because we never ingest this information, we cannot disclose, sell, or lose it.

2. Information We Collect

To provide and maintain the Service, we collect only the information described below. All application data is linked to an anonymous 9-character account code generated when you sign up.

Wishlist Content

Items, list names, notes, gift reservations, and the metadata you intentionally save in Wantly. This data is required so the Service can display your wishlists across devices and keep your information backed up.

Technical Diagnostics

Non-identifying information such as device model (e.g., "iPhone 14"), operating system version, app version, and crash logs. We use this information solely to monitor performance, troubleshoot issues, and secure the Service.

3. How We Use Information

We use the limited data we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the Service
• Sync your anonymous account across devices
• Diagnose outages, errors, and performance issues
• Secure the Service and prevent abuse

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or resale to third parties.

4. Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell or rent your information. We may share anonymized Service data with vendors that help us operate Wantly (e.g., hosting providers), but only under agreements that prohibit those vendors from using the data for any purpose other than providing the contracted services. We may also disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Wantly, our users, or others.

5. Data Security

We encrypt data in transit and at rest, restrict employee access, and limit third-party integrations. Our product roadmap is evaluated against our privacy principles; features that require identifiable information are rejected or redesigned before launch.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

Wishlist content remains stored until you delete it or delete your account from within the Service. When you delete your account, associated data is permanently removed from active systems and backups within a commercially reasonable period. Because we do not store personal identifiers, deleted accounts cannot be restored or linked back to you.

7. Children’s Privacy

Wantly is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone. If we learn that a child has provided data, we will delete it.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the Service or applicable law. When we do, we will adjust the "Last updated" date above and, when appropriate, notify you in the app or through other channels. Continued use of the Service after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
