Privacy Notice
1. Identity and address of the Data Controller
The party responsible for processing your personal data is:
RICARDO ULISES ESLAVA VENTURA, sole proprietor (persona física con actividad empresarial), with address in APODACA, NUEVO LEÓN, Mexico, hereinafter referred to as “Wishpoints”, “we”, “us” or “the Controller”.
Contact details for privacy matters:
- Email: hola@wishpoints.mx
- General support email: hola@wishpoints.mx
- Website:
https://wishpoints.mx
2. Personal data we collect
In order to provide you with the Wishpoints service, we collect the following personal data:
2.1 Identification and contact data
When you create an account:
- Name or display name
- Email address
- Password (stored as a cryptographic hash — we never have access to the plain text)
- Country of residence (optional)
- Avatar photo (optional)
If you sign in with Google or Apple Sign In, we additionally receive from those providers:
- Your name and email address associated with that account
- Your public profile picture (if applicable)
- A unique identifier for that account
If you use Apple’s “Hide My Email” option, we will receive an anonymous relay address generated by Apple instead of your real email address.
2.2 Platform usage data
As you use Wishpoints, the following data is generated:
- Places you save as “want to go” or “visited” (wishpoints)
- The category automatically assigned to each wishpoint
- Personal tags you add to each wishpoint
- Personal notes you write on each wishpoint
- Photos you upload to your wishpoints
- The date on which you mark a place as visited
- The emotion associated with a visited wishpoint (if you choose to add one)
- “Favorite” marks on your wishpoints
- Countries counted in your digital passport
2.3 Geolocation data
- Geographic coordinates and address of the place you save as a wishpoint (this is the location of the place, not your real-time location)
- If you enable the “My location” permission on the map: your approximate location at that moment, used solely to center the map. We do not store your personal location on our servers unless you choose to save it as a wishpoint.
2.4 Technical data
As part of the app’s normal operation and for security purposes:
- The IP address you connect from
- A client identifier (
X-Client-Id) generated locally by the app - An installation identifier (
installationId), an anonymous, persistent identifier generated when you install the app, used exclusively to associate your device with push notifications - A push notification token (Firebase Cloud Messaging), required in order to send notifications to your device
- Operating system and version, device model
- Application version
- Activity logs relevant to security and auditing (authentication logs, failed attempts, password changes, account deletion, etc.)
- Encrypted session tokens
We do not use behavioral analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking tools (for example, Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, or advertising SDKs). Firebase is used solely to deliver push notifications.
2.5 Transaction data
When you purchase a Premium subscription:
- We neither receive nor store your bank card details. Payments are processed directly by the Apple App Store or Google Play, depending on your device.
- We receive from the payment processor (via RevenueCat): your subscription status, the plan purchased, the start date and the renewal or cancellation date, and an anonymous purchaser identifier.
2.6 Sensitive data
We do not request or knowingly collect sensitive personal data (racial or ethnic origin, health status, genetic information, religious, philosophical or moral beliefs, union membership, political opinions, sexual preference). However, the photos you upload may contain your image or that of third parties. This is addressed in section 6.
3. Purposes of processing
3.1 Primary purposes (necessary for the service)
Without these purposes we cannot provide you with Wishpoints. By using the application you consent to processing for the following purposes:

- Preventing fraud, abuse and unauthorized access, and protecting the security of the platform and of other users
- Complying with legal obligations and responding to requests from competent authorities
- Responding to support requests you send us
3.2 Secondary purposes (optional, you may object)
You may object to the following purposes without this affecting the provision of the service:
- Sending email communications about new features, improvements, editorial content related to travel, and tips on using Wishpoints
- Sending promotional and reminder push notifications (non-transactional) about Wishpoints or related products from the same Controller

The link stops being available when you delete the corresponding wishpoint or your account.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not share data with advertisers or data brokers, or for any purpose other than those described in this Notice. Wishpoints does not display advertising.
No additional transfers without consent: other than those described above and those provided for by law (article 37 of the LFPDPPP, for example requests from a competent authority), we do not transfer your personal data to third parties without your consent.

- Do not upload photos of minors without the consent of their guardian or legal representative.
- Do not upload photos with intimate, sexual, violent, illegal or offensive content (see Terms and Conditions, Prohibited Conduct section).
- When you delete a wishpoint or your account, the associated photos are permanently deleted from our storage.

You have the right to Access the personal data we hold about you, to Rectify it when it is inaccurate or incomplete, to Cancel it when you consider it is not necessary for any of the stated purposes, and to Object to its processing for specific purposes (known in Mexico as ARCO rights).

Send a request to hola@wishpoints.mx containing:
- Your full name and the email address registered with Wishpoints
- A document proving your identity (a copy of a valid official ID; you may redact any information other than your name and photograph)

7.3 Negative or unsatisfactory response
If you are not satisfied with our response, you may file a request for the protection of your rights with the competent data protection authority in Mexico.
8. Account deletion
You may delete your account at any time from Settings → Delete my account within the application.
Deletion is immediate, permanent and irreversible. Upon confirming deletion, the following are definitively erased:

Withdrawal will not have retroactive effect on processing carried out before the withdrawal, nor does it affect processing that is necessary to comply with legal obligations or that arises from the legal relationship between you and the Controller.
