Terms & Privacy
Last updated: 1 November 2026
These are the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for the WYN app. Please read them so you know how the service works and how we handle your data.
1. Terms of Service
1.1 Acceptance of Terms
WYN is operated by BCR Software Technologies LLC. By creating an account or using the WYN app, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
1.2 What WYN Is
WYN helps travelers discover destinations, track their travels, and connect with other travelers through profiles, follows, messaging, Moments, reviews, and shared plans.
1.3 Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use WYN, or older where the law of your country sets a higher minimum age to consent to the processing of your personal data. By using the app, you confirm that you meet this requirement.
1.4 Your Account
You sign in with your Google or Apple account. You are responsible for activity on your account and for keeping your device secure. You may delete your account at any time from Settings.
1.5 Your Content
You own the content you add: your profile, travel entries, photos, Moments, Posts, reviews, messages, polls, and events. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, process, and display that content within the app, and on the share pages you create, so the service can work. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies already shared with other users, such as messages you sent. Your privacy settings control who sees your profile, travels, and stats.
1.6 Community Rules
WYN has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. Do not harass, impersonate, or threaten others; do not post sexual, violent, hateful, unlawful, misleading, or spammy content; do not abuse community features such as reviews, messages, Moments, or support forms; and do not attempt to access other users' accounts or data. From the app you can report a profile, a message, a group, a Moment, or a review, and block any user. Our team reviews every report within 24 hours and removes content that breaks these rules, and the accounts that post it can be suspended or removed.
1.7 Subscriptions
WYN offers optional paid plans that unlock extra features. The price, billing period, and any free trial are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple or Google Play account when you confirm the purchase or, if you started a free trial, when the trial ends. Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period and price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your App Store or Google Play account settings; deleting the app or your WYN account does not cancel it. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their own policies. If a price changes, the store tells you before the new price applies. The features of each plan may change over time. The supporter badge included in some plans shows that an account holds that plan; it is not a verification of identity.
1.8 Third-Party Services
Sign-in, payments, maps, and app distribution are provided by third parties such as Apple, Google, and Mapbox, whose own terms also apply. If you downloaded WYN from the App Store, Apple's Standard End User License Agreement (apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula) applies together with these Terms.
1.9 Travel Information Disclaimer
Visa requirements, stay limits, living costs, internet speeds, safety levels, and climate data shown in the app are informational estimates gathered from various sources and can be outdated or incomplete. Always verify travel requirements with official government sources before making travel decisions. WYN is not responsible for decisions made based on this information.
1.10 Termination
We may suspend or terminate access for conduct that violates these Terms or harms other users. You may stop using the app and delete your account at any time.
1.11 Changes
We may update the app and these Terms. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a new date and announced in the app; continued use after changes means you accept them.
1.12 Disclaimer and Liability
The app is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, WYN is not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from your use of the app. Nothing in these Terms limits the rights you have as a consumer under the law of your country.
2. Privacy Policy
2.1 Who We Are
BCR Software Technologies LLC (“WYN”, “we”), a limited liability company registered in Sharjah Media City (Shams), Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, under licence no. 2648630.01, is responsible for the personal data processed through the WYN app and whereyourenext.com. You can reach us about privacy at support@whereyourenext.com.
2.2 Information You Provide
When you sign in with Google or Apple we receive your name, email address, and profile photo. You may add a username, intro, birth date, and gender; your home location; travel entries, trips, and residences; the countries of your passports, your legal residencies, and the issuing country, categories, and expiry date of your driver licences; city reviews and liked cities; photos, Moments, and Posts; messages, shared polls, events, and cards; and help requests you send to support. We do not ask for passport or licence numbers.
2.3 Your Location
If you allow location access, the app reads your device's location while you use it, when you open the app or return to it, and at most every few hours unless you have moved a long way. It sends the coordinates and country to our servers to detect the city and country you are in, keep your travel timeline and stay counter up to date, record trips automatically when auto-tracking is on, and show travelers and places nearby. We keep only your most recent location, replacing it with each update. Other users never see your exact position; they may see your current city and upcoming trips according to your Travel visibility setting. The app does not read your location in the background, and you can turn location access off at any time in your device settings.
2.4 Photos and Camera
If you allow it, the app uses your camera and photo library only when you take or choose a photo, for example for your avatar, a group, a Moment, or a Post. When a photo includes the date and place it was taken, the app uses them to match it to the right trip, and that place is stored with the photo. Moments are visible to others for 24 hours; Posts stay on your trips until you delete them.
2.5 Health Data
If you connect Apple Health or Health Connect, WYN reads your steps, walking distance, flights climbed, workouts, and sleep to show how you moved during each trip. This data is processed only on your device: it is not sent to our servers, not shared with anyone, not used for advertising or marketing, and never written to Health. You can withdraw access at any time in the Health app or in Health Connect.
2.6 Information Collected Automatically
Device type and operating system, app version, language, connection state, the IP address your device uses to reach our servers, a notification token if you allow notifications, and an integrity check that confirms requests come from the genuine app. If usage analytics is on, we also record how the app is used, such as screens viewed and features used, linked to your account, to improve the app. In the EU, the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland it stays off unless you allow it when the app asks; elsewhere it is on by default. You can turn it on or off at any time in Settings › Permissions. We collect crash and error reports in all cases, to fix problems. We do not use advertising identifiers, we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites, and we do not show ads.
2.7 How We Use Your Information
To provide app features: your travel timeline and map, the stay counter and visa checker, destination recommendations, travelers nearby, your feed, Moments, and real-time messaging; to manage your subscription; to send the notifications you enable; to respond to your support requests; to keep the community safe and review reports; and to maintain and improve the service.
2.8 Legal Bases
Where the GDPR or a similar law applies, we process your data to perform our contract with you (providing the app and your plan); on the basis of our legitimate interests in security, moderation, crash reporting, and improving the service, which you can object to; with your consent for location, photos, health data, notifications, and usage analytics in the EU, the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland, which you give and withdraw through your device permissions and the app's settings; and to meet legal obligations.
2.9 What Other Users See
Your name, username, and photo are visible to other users. Your profile, trips, stats, and Posts are shown according to your Profile privacy setting; private accounts limit them to approved followers. Your current city and upcoming trips follow your Travel visibility setting. Reviews appear with your name. The owner of a Moment can see who viewed it. When you visit a profile, its owner may see that you visited, unless you turn on Browse anonymously in Profile privacy; visitor lists are kept for 60 days. Messages are visible only to conversation participants, except a message you report, which our moderation team reads to review it.
2.10 Share Links
When you share a trip, your profile, or an invite through a link, anyone who has the link can open a preview of it on whereyourenext.com, even without the app.
2.11 Service Providers
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share data only with providers that run parts of the service for us, under agreements that protect your data: Amazon Web Services (cloud hosting and email delivery), Cloudflare (photo and file storage), Mapbox (maps; it receives map interactions to render them), Google Firebase (usage analytics, app integrity checks, and notification delivery on Android), PostHog (usage analytics, hosted in the EU), Sentry (crash and error reports, hosted in the EU), RevenueCat (subscription management), Expo (notification delivery), Apple and Google (sign-in, payments, and notifications), and Supabase (the website waiting list). We may also disclose data where the law requires it or to protect the safety of our users.
2.12 International Transfers
Some of these providers process data outside your country, including in the United States. Where that happens we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
2.13 Storage and Security
Data is encrypted in transit. Sign-in tokens are stored in your device's secure storage. Some content is cached on your device so the app works offline; this cache is cleared when you sign out.
2.14 Retention and Deletion
We keep your data while your account is active, and you can delete individual items at any time. Deleting your account from Settings removes your profile, trips, residences, documents, reviews, photos, follows, and blocks from the service. Messages you sent stay in the other participants' conversations, shown as from a “Deleted user”. Residual copies are purged from backups within a reasonable period. Records the law requires us to keep are kept only for as long as it requires.
2.15 Your Rights
You can view and update your profile and privacy settings in the app, and delete your account at any time. Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to access, correct, export, or erase your data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to withdraw your consent. Email us to exercise them; we reply within one month. If you are in the EU, the UK, or a country with similar laws, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.
2.16 Website and Waiting List
If you join the waiting list on whereyourenext.com, we store the email address and any Instagram or TikTok handle you enter, only to contact you about WYN. Email us to be removed. The website does not use advertising or analytics cookies.
2.17 Children's Privacy
WYN is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
2.18 Changes to This Policy
We will post any changes here and update the date above. We will tell you in the app about material changes.
