1. The information we collect

We may collect the following types of information:

Information we request from you directly

To provide you Wish Explorer’s Services, we need only minimal information from you. This minimal information is required to ensure the safety of the Service and protect the Service and the users. Apart from this, providing any further information is optional and depends on how many features you want to use.

Essential information

To create a Wish Explorer account, the only thing you need to do is to register with an account (numerical ID) from a safe service such as Google. Services such as Google or Facebook established elaborate procedures to ensure a safe and convenient access for their users. This prevents for example security issues connected with typing in passwords and using the same password for different websites or bot attack from fake accounts.

Information provided automatically by your device or your Facebook/Google/Amazon account

When you register, we also get automatically some further information such as a nickname, an email and the number of your mobile etc. This type of information helps us to connect you with your friends and improves the user experience.

Content data

A major function of the Wish Explorer App is to enable you to organize wishes or things you like in the on-line and off-line world. You will save this content in the Wish Explorer app. Private content remains private. Sharing content with other users or the public is a permission that other users are allowed to use this content at their own discretion. Among other data, this content may include pictures or photos, a title, links or GPS location data.

Cookies and similar technology

We may use some standard app or internet technologies (such as cookies) to understand how you use the App and the Website. Our intention is to provide you a better working App and better content in a more convenient way. For example, it is sure more convenient if you do not have to set up the same preferences every time you open the App (language, your preferred design, your last chat or your last position in the App etc.).

Log file data and device information

Whenever you access a Website or use the App, your browser or mobile send log data. Our servers automatically record certain log file information to improve our Service and provide you relevant content. This information could be your web request, the date and time of your request, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, referring / exit pages and URLs, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, cookie data, how you interact with our content and similar data. We may also collect data regarding the type of your device, device identifiers, operating system and crash or bug reports.

Information from other sources

It may be that our partners allow us to obtain information about how useful you found the content on Wish Explorer and how often clicking on particular link led to a purchase or similar.

2. How we store information

Your information is stored on servers in Europe. If any of our Service providers or affiliates has to process your data for their service, it may be that part of your data will have to be transmitted across international borders. In this case the data transfer will comply with our privacy policy. We will do our best to keep your data safe at all times, but of course cannot provide an absolute guarantee that our measures won’t be breached. By registering for or using our Service you consent to these terms.

3. How we use information

We will use your information to provide you our Services. Besides maintaining the Service this will also include the development of new features and functions. Some of the information you provide to Wish Explorer will be visible to all users. This will be limited to the minimum required to find people you know. People that want to find and interact with you, will need to know your mobile number (or nickname). Your basic profile that will be visible to all users of Wish Explorer consists only of a freely chosen picture and a nickname. You have also options to choose whether or to which extent you want to restrict the view on your content.

In addition to the terms already covered here, we may also use your data to:

4. How and when do we disclose or share information

We will not share your information with any third party, except as described in this Privacy Policy.

To comply with law

We may share information if we have a good faith belief that it is required to comply with a law, regulation, legal request; to address issues such as fraud, safety of our Service or technical matters; or to ensure safety and rights of any person, the public or Wish Explorer.

To protect our interests

We also reserve the right to disclose your information when we have a good faith belief that this is appropriate or necessary to enforce our Terms of Service and to protect the integrity, security, rights, property, or personal safety of our Service, ourselves, you and others including any third-party claims or allegations. In case it is the subject of a legal issue, possible violations of our terms or to otherwise prevent harm, your information may be stored and used for an extended period of time

Other users

Other users will see information that you add to your profile and choose to be public.

Service providers

It might be necessary to share some of your information with specialized service providers in order to provide, maintain or improve our Service. We will share information only to an extent required to provide the demanded service and request the service providers to take appropriate security measures for your data.

Other networks

You will have the option to post your content on social networks such as Facebook or Google+. In this case your friends or followers on those networks will be able to view this content.

Aggregated data and advertisers

We will not share information that could identify you individually on-line or off-line. However, we may also share aggregated and non-personally identifiable information. This information could be used to analyze how popular certain features or services are.

Transfer of business

In the course of business transfer (merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation) some of your information may be transferred. The transferee will have to account for the commitments made in this Privacy Policy.

5. Choices about your information

General

Wish Explorer has features that allow you to connect with your friends, but also to display content publicly. Such content is visible to any user and may also be shared with third parties. Your nickname, your ID (, your status) and content that you choose to be public are such information. In most cases, however, only the small number of people will see your content that you shared your mobile number, your name or your ID with. In fact, Wish Explorer also provides you further options to control visibility of your content. You can have it partly private, all private or all public. You should consider that sharing content with other users gives them the option and permission to use this content at their discretion.

Your profile and privacy settings

You can access and change information in your profile at any time and choose the visibility of your account and your content. You will also be able to opt-in or opt-out to certain email communications such as updates to certain topics or by certain users. You cannot opt-out from essential account notifications (e.g., security notifications, changes to the Service, billing confirmations or reminders).

6. Deleting your account

You have the right to delete your account and all personal data collected by the app. To do it yourself, log in to the web app at web.wishexplorer.com, tip on ‘Settings’, tip on ‘Profile’, tip on ‘MORE…’, select the last item ‘Close Account’.

7. Our policy on children’s information

This Service is not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under an age where it is legal. In the USA, you certify by your access or the usage of Wish Explorer that you are 13 years of age or older. Parents or legal guardians may not agree to these Terms of Service on behalf of children below an age where it is legal. Parents or other adults may create and maintain an account for children either as a sub-account or an additional account, for which no personally identifiable information regarding the child should be submitted. If Wish Explorer learns that personal information from a minor child has been collected, Wish Explorer will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have collected any such personal data from a minor child, please contact us.
