This privacy notice for Kostas Filios ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), located in Athens, Greece, describes how and why we might collect, store, use, and/or share ("process") your information when you use our services ("Services"), including:
Questions or concerns? If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our Services. Contact us at wishboxappinfo@gmail.com.
Local-first by default. You can use Wishbox to track transactions, wishboxes, and budgets on your device without creating an account. That on-device data is not uploaded unless you choose a cloud feature described below.
What personal information do we process? It depends on how you use the Services. An optional account, Wishbox+, Collaboration, Cloud Sync, push notifications, and the AI Assistant each send specific data off the device. Learn more.
Do we process sensitive personal information? We do not collect Apple or GDPR special-category data such as health, race, or biometric identifiers. If you use Collaboration, Cloud Sync, or the AI Assistant, financial details you enter (amounts, categories, descriptions, wishbox titles) may leave the device. Optional voice input is processed for speech-to-text and is not used to create a voiceprint.
Do we receive information from third parties? Yes, when you choose those features: Apple or Google for sign-in and in-app purchases, Apple or Google for push delivery, OpenAI when you use Wishbox Assistant, and Apple iCloud or Google Drive when you turn on Cloud Sync.
How do we process your information? To provide, secure, and administer the Services you ask for (accounts, subscriptions, collaboration, assistant), and to comply with law. We do not sell personal information and we do not use it for advertising. Learn more.
Your rights. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your information. Email wishboxappinfo@gmail.com. Learn more.
In Short: We collect information you provide, information created when you use optional cloud features, and limited technical data needed to run the Services.
Transactions, wishboxes, categories, budgets, backups, and CSV/Excel imports are stored in the app database on your device. We do not receive this data unless you sign in and use Collaboration, Wishbox Assistant, Cloud Sync, or another feature that you explicitly enable. The Apple Watch companion shows data stored on your paired phone. If you use Wishbox Assistant from the Watch, the same assistant terms and privacy practices apply.
If you create an account or sign in with Apple or Google, we may process:
Apple Sign In and Google Sign In send us an identity token and the profile information you allow (typically email and name). We do not offer Facebook or Twitter login.
If you tap the microphone in Wishbox Assistant, we record only while the mic is active. That audio is sent to our servers and then to OpenAI to convert it to text. We do not store the recording on Wishbox servers. The transcript is treated as a message you sent (including for chat history). Language is detected automatically, so you can speak Greek or another language even if your phone is set to English. We do not use voice recordings to identify you or to build a voiceprint.
Wishbox+ is billed by Apple or Google. We do not collect payment card numbers. We store subscription receipts, product identifiers, transaction identifiers, and expiration needed to unlock Plus. Payment data is processed by Apple and Google under their notices: Apple Privacy Policy and Google Privacy Policy.
We use a device identifier to bind Wishbox+ entitlements to your installation and may store a push token (FCM or APNs) if you enable notifications. These identifiers are not used for advertising and we do not collect IDFA or Google Advertising ID.
If you allow notifications, we store a device push token and your notification preferences so we can send collaboration or account updates. You can disable notifications in your device settings.
If you share a wishbox with others, we store on our servers the shared item metadata (titles, icons, currency, balances as needed to sync) and the transactions belonging to that shared wishbox, including amounts, dates, categories, and descriptions. Members of that collaboration can see the shared data. Unrelated wishboxes and accounts stay on your device.
Cloud Sync is optional and requires Wishbox+. If you connect iCloud or Google Drive, the app uploads a copy of the database on your device (transactions, wishboxes, categories, settings, and related app data) to that service under your account. Wishbox does not host that file on our servers. The copy is stored and processed by the service you choose under their terms and privacy notices:
The upload is a zip of the app database. Wishbox does not encrypt that file with a separate password or key. Access is controlled by your iCloud or Google Drive account and that provider's security. Anyone with access to that account can read the copy.
When more than one device syncs, the newest copy wins. Restoring a cloud copy replaces the data on that device.
You can disconnect Cloud Sync in the app. Disconnecting stops new uploads from this device; it does not by itself delete the file already stored in your iCloud or Google Drive account. To remove that copy, delete the Wishbox Sync files in that account yourself. We cannot delete them for you. Cloud Sync is separate from Collaboration.
Wishbox Assistant is optional. It requires a Wishbox+ subscription and your explicit agreement in the app. You can revoke that agreement in Settings → AI Assistant. Turning consent off stops new data from being sent to OpenAI. It does not by itself delete stored chat history or collaboration data you already published; you can delete conversations in the assistant history, or email us to request deletion.
When you use the assistant, we send to OpenAI (via our API) the data needed to answer you, which may include:
Voice is recorded only while the microphone is active. We send the audio to OpenAI for speech-to-text with automatic language detection, then handle the transcript like a typed message. We do not store voice recordings on Wishbox servers, and we do not use them to create a voiceprint.
We store a consent receipt on our servers (account, terms version, platform, app version, IP address, user agent, and time). We store assistant chat history on our servers so you can reopen conversations, up to the limit you set in the app (default 50, maximum 100). Older conversations beyond that limit are removed automatically.
OpenAI processes this data to transcribe optional voice input and generate replies. We do not use assistant data for advertising. We configure our OpenAI chat requests so they are not stored in OpenAI's dashboard. Voice is sent through OpenAI's audio transcription API; we do not keep the recording. OpenAI's handling of API data, including whether it is used to train models, is described in OpenAI's Privacy Policy and OpenAI's enterprise privacy information. We do not control OpenAI's policies and they may change.
Assistant output can be wrong. It is not financial, tax, or investment advice. Do not paste other people's private data into the assistant unless you have the right to do so. Do not record other people with the microphone unless you have the right to do so.
In Short: We process information to provide the features you use, authenticate you, validate subscriptions, sync shared wishboxes, run Cloud Sync to your own storage, run the assistant you opted into, send the notifications you enabled, secure the Services, and comply with law.
We do not sell personal information and we do not use it for third-party or developer advertising.
In Short: We process personal information when we have a valid reason under applicable law.
If you are in the EU or UK: we may rely on (1) performance of a contract (providing the app features you request, including Cloud Sync when you connect a service), (2) consent (AI Assistant and optional notifications), (3) legitimate interests (securing the API, preventing abuse), and (4) legal obligations. Connecting Cloud Sync is a feature you turn on; we do not store a separate Cloud Sync consent receipt.
If you are in Canada: we may process information with your express or implied consent, or as otherwise permitted by law. You may withdraw consent by contacting us or, for the assistant, in Settings → AI Assistant. You can disconnect Cloud Sync in the app at any time.
In Short: We share information with the processors needed to run a feature you use, and as required by law.
We do not run offer walls, ads networks, or social logins other than Apple and Google.
If you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive the profile information those providers share with us (typically name and email) and use it only to create or link your Wishbox account. Review Apple's and Google's privacy notices for their practices. We do not control those providers.
In Short: We keep information as long as needed for the purposes in this notice, unless a longer period is required by law.
When we no longer need personal information, we delete or anonymize it, or isolate it in backups until deletion is possible.
We use HTTPS for data in transit to our servers and access controls on those servers. Cloud Sync files in your iCloud or Google Drive account are protected by that provider and your account, not by a Wishbox encryption key. No transmission or storage system is 100% secure. Use the Services on a device you control and keep your account credentials private.
We are based in Greece. Our servers and processors (including Apple, Google, and OpenAI) may process information in the United States or other countries. Those countries may have different data-protection laws than your own. Google Drive Cloud Sync transfers go from your device to your Google account.
In Short: In some regions, including the EEA, UK, and Canada, you can access, correct, or delete personal information we hold, or withdraw consent.
Email wishboxappinfo@gmail.com to request access, correction, or deletion of your account, collaboration data, or assistant history. We will respond in line with applicable law. You can also:
If you are in the EEA or UK and believe we process your information unlawfully, you may complain to your local supervisory authority: EU authorities. Switzerland: FDPIC.
Withdrawing consent: Withdrawal does not affect processing that already happened. Revoking AI consent does not automatically erase prior chat history or published collaboration data.
Upon a request to terminate your account, we will delete or deactivate the account and information from our active databases, except where we must retain limited records for fraud prevention, legal claims, or legal requirements.
We do not currently respond to DNT browser signals. We do not use third-party advertising or analytics SDKs in the app or on this website.
In Short: Yes. California residents have rights to know, delete, and not be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights.
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 (Shine the Light) allows an annual request about personal information disclosed to third parties for direct marketing. We do not disclose personal information for direct marketing.
