WishCopy ("we", "our", "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect and how we use it.
Most of WishCopy runs entirely in your browser. General preferences (favourites, ratings, feedback history, theme preference, a random device identifier) are stored locally on your device using browser localStorage and are not linked to your real identity.
If you use the Interactive Experience feature to turn a wish into a shareable link (any of WishCopy's reveal formats, including Time Capsule, Group Wish, and Invitations), the message text, recipient/sender names you enter, and any photos, sticker images (created in Sticker Studio), or voice or video message you choose to add are uploaded to our database so the link can be opened by the recipient. Voice and video are alternatives to each other — you can attach one or the other, not both, since a video already includes its own audio. Experience links and their media are automatically deleted 7 days after they become openable: for a normal or Musical Card experience that's 7 days after creation; for a Time Capsule (which you can schedule up to a year ahead) it's 7 days after your chosen unlock date; for a Group Wish that hasn't been sent yet, the collection board is kept for up to 90 days so contributors have time to add their wishes, and then follows the same 7-day window once you send it; an Invitation instead follows a 14-day window after its event date, as described below. Your device identifier is stored alongside each link so you can track its status (opened/not opened, or still collecting) in the "Sent" tab — we do not otherwise know who you are.
A Group Wish lets you share a private link so multiple friends can each add their own name, line, and an optional photo or sticker (created with the same Sticker Studio available elsewhere on the site) plus a voice message or video message to one shared experience before you send it (each contributor may add one experience-worth of content — one photo/sticker and one of voice/video — to keep the board from being flooded). Each contributor's content is stored the same way as any other Interactive Experience content, and is visible to anyone with the private contribution link until the board is sent or expires.
An Invitation lets you send a private link with an event date, an optional location, and an optional personal message, along with any photo, sticker, or voice/video message you choose to add — stored the same way as other Interactive Experience content. Anyone with the link can open it and reply with an RSVP (yes, no, or maybe), an optional name and note, and an optional photo, sticker, voice, or video message of their own; each guest's reply is stored the same way as a Group Wish contributor's. Guests only ever see the total RSVP counts and their own reply — never other guests' names, notes, or media — while you, as the organizer, can see every guest's reply on a dashboard. Because guests need to be able to reply for a while after the event, an Invitation link and its replies are automatically deleted 14 days after the event date you set, rather than the 7-day window used for other Interactive Experiences.
Some features request device permissions: the "blow out the candles" interaction and "Shake to Reveal" (which read volume/motion data only, in your browser, to detect a blow or a shake, and never record, transmit, or store that data), and the optional voice- or video-message recording feature (which does save the recording you create, as described above — video recording additionally requests camera access). These permissions are only requested when you actively use the relevant feature, and only with your device's consent.
When you submit a star rating and review through the Feedback feature, your rating and written comment are stored in our database hosted on Netlify. Reviews may be displayed publicly within the app and do not contain your name, email, or any identifying information unless you choose to include it in your comment text.
WishCopy uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. Where required (for example, for visitors in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, or under US state privacy laws), we present a consent choice screen powered by Google's Funding Choices before any personalised advertising cookies are set. You can review or change your choice at any time using the "Manage Ad Preferences" link in the footer of the WishCopy home page, or opt out of personalised advertising generally via Google Ad Settings. This Privacy Policy page itself carries no advertising.
The Custom Vibe Creator feature uses the Anthropic Claude API. When you use this feature, your vibe description and recipient name are sent to Anthropic's servers to generate birthday messages. Please review Anthropic's Privacy Policy for details on how they handle API data.
Because this is a paid, metered feature, we apply usage limits to prevent automated abuse. To do that, your IP address is recorded in our server logs alongside each generation attempt and counted against a short-lived usage quota. These counters expire within the hour and are deleted automatically; the IP address is used only to enforce the limits and to investigate abuse, and is not linked to your wishes or shared with anyone.
WishCopy itself does not set tracking cookies. Google AdSense and Funding Choices may set cookies for advertising and consent-recording purposes, subject to the consent choice described above. You can also manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.
WishCopy is intended for users aged 13 and over and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you create an Interactive Experience for a child's birthday, please avoid uploading identifying photos, voice recordings, or videos of children without a parent or guardian's consent.
You can prevent an Interactive Experience link from being opened by not sharing it further — links are not indexed or made discoverable, and are automatically deleted on the schedule described above. You can clear your local favourites and device identifier at any time by clearing your browser's site data.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of WishCopy after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
