Wishfolk Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 31, 2026

Wishfolk is a wishlist and gift-planning app for families and friends. This policy explains what the app does with your information. The short version: your lists live on your device and in your own iCloud account, and we never see them.

What we collect: nothing.

Wishfolk has no accounts of its own, no servers, no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party trackers. We (the developer) cannot see your wishes, your people, your groups, or anything else you put in the app.

Where your information is kept

What you enter (your profile, wishes, idea board, people, birthdays, groups, reservations, and gift history) is stored on your device and synced through your own iCloud account using Apple’s CloudKit, so it can appear on your other devices. Apple handles that storage under Apple’s Privacy Policy.

Sharing with a group

When you choose to share your list with a group, its members can see your shared wishes through Apple’s iCloud sharing. Everyone you share with sees the same shared list. On lists you manage alone, you can mark individual wishes Only me to keep them private. You can stop sharing your list with a group at any time. Reservations and purchases are shared only with the other shoppers, never with the person the gift is for. Removing access cannot erase screenshots or copies someone has already made.

Contacts

When you add someone from Contacts, you choose a card using Apple’s contact picker. Contacts access is optional. If you allow it, Wishfolk reads linked cards to keep names, birthdays and pictures up to date. It also uses targeted phone-number or email lookups among the contacts you allow it to access to label pending invitations and match joined group members to people you have already saved. These lookups happen on your device; contact labels and contact-card links stay on that device. You can change Contacts access in Settings.

Camera and photos

You can take a picture or choose photos to read a gift list or product, or to add pictures to an idea. Text in a picture is read on your device. Photos you add to an idea are stored with your lists in your iCloud account. Wishfolk uses Apple’s photo picker, so it sees only the photos you choose.

Links you paste

When you paste or share a link to a product, Wishfolk loads that web page directly from your device to fill in the name, price, and picture. The page’s own website receives that request, as it would if you opened the link in Safari. Nothing is sent to us.

Apple Intelligence

On devices that support it, Wishfolk can use Apple’s on-device language model to help turn text, pictures, or a pasted list into wishes. That processing happens on your device.

Notifications

If you turn on reminders, Wishfolk schedules notifications on your device a week before birthdays and gift days. No notification is sent through a server.

Children

A parent can keep a list for a child inside the parent’s own account. Children do not need their own account, and Wishfolk collects nothing from them.

Deleting your information

Delete wishes, people, or groups in the app, or delete the app and remove its data in Settings › [your name] › iCloud. Because we hold no copy, there is nothing for us to export or delete on our side.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page.
