2. Principles of our data processing

At Wunschlist, your privacy matters a great deal to us. That is why:

• No sign-up required: You can use the app immediately without registering.
• No advertising: We do not show you any advertising in the app.
• No tracking: We do not track your usage behaviour and do not create usage profiles.
• No analytics: We do not use Google Analytics or any other cookies/analysis tools on the website or in the app.
• Data storage: Wishes and connections are stored on a server in Germany.
• Completely free: There are no hidden costs, subscriptions or in-app purchases.

3. Which data is processed

When you use this app, we process the following data:

3.1 Voluntary profile data

You provide this data voluntarily and can change or delete it at any time:

• Nickname / username
• Profile photo
• Date of birth
• Gender (m/f/other)

3.2 Social connections & content

• Friend lists / connections to other users
• Wishes or personal entries
• Categories and lists

3.3 Technical data

• Device ID (only for push notifications; can be disabled by the user)
• IP address and last login time (exclusively for security and troubleshooting)

Note: New entries (e.g. a new photo or name) automatically overwrite old data. We do not keep a history of your changes.

4. Purpose of data processing

• Creating, displaying and managing the user profile
• Enabling the friend and wish features
• Making it easier to find users (name, photo)
• Sending push notifications (if enabled and requested by the user)
• Technical operation, security, troubleshooting

Important: Your data is never sold and not passed on for third-party advertising purposes.

5. Amazon affiliate programme (optional)

5.1 What does this mean?

What are affiliate links? Many other wish list apps and bloggers already use them: you can voluntarily link your wishes with Amazon product links. If someone makes a purchase on Amazon through such a link, we receive a small commission.

Important: This does not make the product more expensive for you – the price stays exactly the same! These links are limited exclusively to Amazon.

5.2 The important difference to other apps

While many other wish list apps and platforms use affiliate links on a mandatory basis, using them with us always remains voluntary:

• Completely optional: You do not have to use this feature
• No obligation: The app works fully without affiliate links
• Transparency: It is always clearly recognisable when a link is an affiliate link
• No disadvantages: Users without affiliate links have no restrictions

5.3 Data processing with affiliate links

Important: When you use an Amazon affiliate link, Amazon’s privacy policy applies. We ourselves do not store or process any personal data about your purchases or your click behaviour.

When such links are used, Amazon records the following data:

• Time of click and referrer (where the click came from)
• IP address (processed by Amazon, not by us)
• Purchase information (only at Amazon, not with us)

5.4 Legal basis for affiliate links

Affiliate links are used on the basis of:

• Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR – Your consent when you knowingly use the affiliate feature
• Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – Legitimate interest in financing the free operation of the app

6. Legal basis (Art. 6 GDPR)

• Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR – Consent for voluntary information (profile photo, name, date of birth, gender)
• Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR – Use of the app features (e.g. friend lists, wishes)
• Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – Legitimate interest in secure operation and troubleshooting

Note: Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

7. Storage and hosting

Data is stored on a German server at mittwald.de. No third-party cloud services are used.

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, manipulation or disclosure.

8. Disclosure to third parties

Personal data is only passed on if:

• there is a legal obligation to do so
• it is technically necessary (e.g. IT service providers for operating the app, such as mittwald.de as hosting provider)

In the case of Amazon affiliate links: Forwarding to Amazon is transparent and at your own request. We do not pass on any additional data to Amazon.

9. Storage period

Data is stored for as long as your user account exists or the app is installed on your device. After deletion of the account or the app, all personal data will be deleted unless statutory retention obligations apply.

Important: As the app works primarily locally on your device, much of the data is only stored locally and is automatically removed when the app is uninstalled.

10. Rights of data subjects

Under the GDPR you have the following rights:

• Access to stored data (Art. 15 GDPR)
• Rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
• Erasure of data (Art. 17 GDPR)
• Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
• Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
• Objection to processing (Art. 21 GDPR)
• Withdrawal of consent (Art. 7(3) GDPR)

How to exercise your rights:
Simply send us an email at hermann@prachtkind.at with your request. We will process it immediately.

Note: Withdrawal applies to future processing; processing carried out before then remains lawful.

11. Right to lodge a complaint

If you have complaints about the processing of your data, you can contact the Austrian Data Protection Authority:

Österreichische Datenschutzbehörde
Barichgasse 40–42
1030 Vienna
Austria
www.dsb.gv.at

12. Minors

The app is not specifically aimed at children below the legally permitted minimum age (usually 13 years). Should data of minors be collected inadvertently without the consent of their parents or guardians, it will be deleted immediately once we become aware of it.

13. Cookies and tracking

Important: Our app and website use no tracking cookies and no analysis tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel or similar.

We create no user profiles and do not track your behaviour. Your privacy matters to us!

14. Changes to this privacy policy

This privacy policy may be amended if legal requirements or features of the app change. Changes will be announced in the app or via the link to the privacy policy.

Current version: February 2026
