Wishboard — Terms of Service
Last updated: 2 August 2026
The short version. Wishboard saves the places you find in videos onto boards you can share. What you save stays yours. Use it for planning trips, not for anything illegal or abusive, and understand that the places a scan finds are a machine’s best guess — check anything that matters before you turn up.
Two things carry real consequences and are easy to skim past: turning on sharing for a board publishes it to anyone with the link, and an invite link is a key to a group board. Both are yours to hand out, and both are explained below.
Who these terms are with
Wishboard is an Android app operated by Lyte Creations LLC (“we”, “us”), of 821 N St, Ste 102, Anchorage, AK 99501, US. These terms are the agreement between you and us for your use of the app, the wishboard.travel website, and the shared board pages we publish on your instruction.
By creating an account or using Wishboard you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the app. Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and who sees it; it forms part of this agreement.
Who may use Wishboard
You must be at least 13 years old. If you are under the age of digital consent where you live — which is 16 in some countries — you may only use Wishboard with the consent of a parent or guardian. You must also be allowed to enter this agreement under the law that applies to you, and not be barred from using the service under any applicable sanctions or export rules.
Your account
- Give us an accurate email address, and keep your password to yourself. What happens under your account is your responsibility.
- One person per account. Do not sell, rent or hand over your account.
- Tell us at support@wishboard.travel if you think someone else has got into it.
You can stop using Wishboard whenever you like, and you can delete your account and everything in it yourself — see Ending this agreement below.
What you may not do
These are the usage rules, and they are the ones we will act on. Do not use Wishboard to:
- Break the law, or help anyone else break it.
- Post content you have no right to post — someone else’s photographs, someone else’s private information, or anything that infringes a copyright, trade mark or other right.
- Upload or share anything abusive: harassment, threats, hate speech, sexual content involving minors, graphic violence, or content that promotes self-harm or terrorism. This applies to board titles, place descriptions, notes, your profile and any photo you upload.
- Impersonate anyone, or use a display name, @handle or profile picture designed to pass you off as another person or organisation.
- Harass other users on a group board, or use an invite link to get onto a board you were not meant to be on.
- Attack or abuse the service: no scraping, no automated scanning at volume, no attempt to get round scan limits, rate limits or access controls, no probing our infrastructure, no reverse engineering beyond what the law expressly allows you.
- Resell what we pay for. The scan pipeline, the place data and the photos behind it cost us money per request. Do not run Wishboard as a backend for another product, and do not extract place data in bulk.
- Advertise, spam, or use a board as a promotional channel.
If you break these rules we may remove the content, take a shared board page down, or suspend or close your account. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will tell you why and give you a way to respond — but we will act first on anything that puts someone at risk.
What you save, and who owns it
Your content stays yours. Boards, place names and descriptions, notes, votes, your profile text and the photos you upload — we claim no ownership of any of it.
To run the app we need your permission to handle it, so you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, copy, resize and display your content, for as long as you keep it with us, and only in order to:
- show it back to you in the app;
- show it to the people you have shared it with — everyone on a group board, and, for a board you have marked as shared, anyone holding its link;
- make the technical copies that hosting, backup and delivery require.
That licence ends when you delete the content or your account, apart from copies already made by people you shared with, and routine backups that age out on their own schedule. We do not use your content to train models, and we do not license it on to anyone else.
Sharing: what you are actually publishing
- A shared board is public. Turning sharing on publishes a web page carrying the board’s title, its country, and its places with their names, locations, photos and source links. No sign-in is needed to read it. Anyone who finds or is given the link can see it. Turning sharing off takes the page down within about a minute.
- An invite link is a key. Anyone holding one can join that group board and edit it. Send it only to people you mean to let in.
- A group board is shared with everyone on it, including people who join later. Everyone can add, edit and delete places, and can see who voted for what.
- A photo you choose for a place sits at a public web address. The address is random and unguessable, but it needs no sign-in, because a shared board page has to display the photo to people who are not logged in, and it carries your account id — the Privacy Policy sets out what follows from that. Treat a place photo you upload as something you are willing to be seen.
You are responsible for what you publish this way, and for having the right to publish it.
Magic Scan, and how far you should trust it
When you share a video, a link, a screenshot or a note into Wishboard, we send it to third-party services on your behalf to work out which places it mentions. The Privacy Policy sets out exactly which services and what reaches them.
A scan is a machine’s best guess, not a fact. The model can misread a sign, invent a name, or confidently match a real-sounding name to the wrong business. Opening hours, prices, whether somewhere still exists, and whether it is safe or sensible to go there are all things we do not check. Verify anything that matters before you rely on it — and certainly before you travel, book or pay.
You must only scan content you are allowed to. If you share in a link, you confirm you accessed it legitimately, and you remain bound by the terms of the platform it came from — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Pinterest or anywhere else. Wishboard is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a partner of any of them.
Scans are limited per day and per month. We may change those limits, and we may refuse or stop a scan that looks abusive or automated.
Google Maps and Places
Wishboard shows maps and place information supplied by Google. By using Wishboard you also agree to the Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service (including the Google Privacy Policy), which govern that part of the service.
Booking links and commissions
Wishboard may show links to travel booking sites. We may earn a commission if you book after following one, and it never changes your price. These links are marked where they appear, and a commission never changes the order things are shown in.
Anything you book happens between you and that company, on their site, under their terms. We are not a travel agent, we are not a party to your booking, and we are not responsible for what they do or fail to do.
Paid features
Wishboard is free to use. If we offer a paid tier, it is sold through Google Play, and the following will apply:
- The price, the billing period and what is included are shown to you before you buy, in the Play purchase flow.
- Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel. You cancel in Google Play, not in the app, and cancelling stops the next renewal — you keep the tier until the period you have paid for runs out.
- Payment, refunds and tax are handled by Google under Google Play’s terms. Refund requests go to Google first.
- If you are a consumer in the UK or EU you have a statutory right to cancel within 14 days, which you may lose once digital content has been supplied with your consent. Nothing here removes it.
- Paid tiers carry fair-use caps, which are shown where the tier is described. We will not lower a cap on a tier you have already bought.
Reporting content, and takedowns
If you see something on Wishboard that breaks these rules, report it. In the app, use the report action on the person, the board or the place itself; a shared board page carries a link to report that board, which needs no account. Either way you pick a reason and can add whatever detail helps. You can also write to support@wishboard.travel with a link and enough detail to find it, which is the route for content of yours published by somebody else. We look at what arrives and act where it is warranted. What a report records, and what happens to it if the account it is about is deleted, are in the Privacy Policy.
For a copyright complaint, tell us what the work is, where the copy is on Wishboard, that you believe the use is unauthorised, and how to reach you. We remove infringing material and will close the accounts of repeat infringers.
Availability, and changes to the app
We do our best to keep Wishboard running, but we do not promise it will be available without interruption or free of faults. We may change, suspend or withdraw features. If we withdraw something significant, or shut the service down, we will give you reasonable notice and a chance to get your content out where we can.
Ending this agreement
- You may stop at any time. To have your account and everything in it erased, use Settings → Delete account in the app, which works however you signed up; or, if you no longer have the app installed, the form at wishboard.travel/delete-account, which asks for your email address and your password and so cannot serve an account made with Google sign-in; or write to support@wishboard.travel and we will do it for you. The Privacy Policy sets out what each route erases.
- We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, or where we are required to by law.
- Closing an account removes your own boards, the places on them, and your profile; a board of your own that you had shared stops being reachable with them. A group board is not yours alone, so it is not yours to take down: we take your account off it and the board stays, with the places you added still on it, unless you were the last person on it. Reports and blocks about the account are kept — the Privacy Policy says why, for each. Content that other people on a group board have copied elsewhere is outside our reach.
Our responsibility to you, and its limits
Wishboard is provided as it is. To the fullest extent the law allows, we exclude implied warranties, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profit, lost data beyond our reasonable control, or anything arising from your reliance on a scan result, a place’s details, or a third party you reached through the app.
Where we are liable, our total liability to you is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or £50.
None of this cuts down rights you have as a consumer. If you are a consumer, you keep every right your local law gives you — including for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, and for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded. Where a term here conflicts with a right you cannot waive, that right wins.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If a change matters, we will update the date at the top and tell you in the app before it takes effect. Carrying on using Wishboard after that means you accept the new version; if you do not, close your account.
The legal fine print
- These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between us about Wishboard.
- If a court finds part of them unenforceable, the rest stands.
- Not enforcing something once does not mean giving it up.
- You may not transfer your rights under these terms. We may transfer ours if the business is sold, and your rights are unaffected.
- These terms are governed by the law of the State of Alaska, United States, and its courts have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, you may also bring proceedings in the country you live in, and the mandatory consumer law of that country still protects you.
