Privacy Policy

Last updated 13 November 2026

Wanna Try helps you save things you want to try (places, food, videos, ideas) and brings them back at the right moment. This page says what we collect, why, and what you can do about it.

What we collect

• Your account: name, email, a password (stored only as a one-way hash), or your Google sign-in.
• What you save: links, screenshots and photos you upload, voice notes and their text, notes, ratings, plans and reminders.
• What we work out from it: titles, summaries, places and categories, and things you tell Wanna Try about yourself (for example "I'm vegetarian"). You can see and delete these in the app under Profile, What I Know About You.
• Location, only if you turn it on: used while the app is open to show places near you, for reminders when you are near a place you saved, and to suggest a good place nearby you have not saved (at most one a day, which you can turn off in Settings, Location, "Suggest New Places Near Me"). Your city is used for Ask and Discover.
• Location while the app is closed, only in the Android app and only if you turn on "Remind Me When the App Is Closed": Android tells the app when you move about 1 km or come near a place you saved. The app then sends your location once to our server, which decides whether something you saved, or a good place nearby, is worth a notification there (at most 3 a day, none between 10 pm and 8 am). We keep only your latest location, never a history of where you have been, and we do not share it for ads or sell it.
• Device details: a notification address for your phone if you allow notifications, and basic error reports when the app crashes (screen, app version).
• Payments: if you buy Pro, Razorpay processes the payment. We keep the order and payment reference and the dates of your plan, never your card or UPI details.

Why we use it

• To read what you save and organise it, answer your questions in Ask, remind you, and suggest what to try next.
• To send account emails (sign-in codes) and, unless you turn them off, a weekly email and tips about using the app.
• To keep your account secure, fix problems, and count the free plan's monthly limits.

We do not sell your data and we do not show you ads based on it.

Who helps us run it

Your data is stored and processed by services we use for this purpose only: Google Cloud and Firebase (hosting, in India), MongoDB Atlas (database), Upstash (cache), Cloudinary (images); AI services that read and summarise content and answer questions (Anthropic, Groq, Google Gemini); Sarvam (speech to text); search services for Ask's web answers (DuckDuckGo, SerpApi, Brave); Resend (email); Razorpay (payments); Ola Maps (to find places near you and how far they are by road; it receives the location used for that search, not your saves). When Ask looks something up on the web, only the search words are sent, not your saves.

How long we keep it

As long as you have an account. Temporary copies made while reading a post are deleted after processing. When you delete your account, your saves, notes, voice notes, memories and settings are deleted.

Your choices

• Edit or delete any save, and forget anything Wanna Try learned about you.
• Turn notifications, location, reminders while the app is closed, suggestions of new places and the weekly email off in Settings at any time, or use "Stop emails" at the bottom of any email. On Android you can also take back "Allow all the time" in Android settings; signing out stops location while the app is closed.
• Delete your account in the app (Settings, Account and Security, Delete Account) or from the web at wannatry.in/delete-account.

Children

Wanna Try is not meant for children under 13.

Contact

Questions or complaints about your data: in the app, Settings, Help and Support, Contact Support, or through this form. We reply by email within 30 days. If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will tell you in the app.
