Privacy policy
Your library is private. This page says exactly what happens to everything you save, in plain words.
Your library. No other Waggli user can see it. See how Anthropic reads your saves.
Draft for legal review. A lawyer hasn’t checked this page yet, so it may change. Until it’s final, you can leave Photos access off and share one item at a time.
The short version
- With full Photos access, Waggli automatically uploads each new screenshot. It uploads the whole screen, including anything visible from another app. It starts when you grant access and skips older screenshots and other photos.
- To look a save up, our AI provider reads it, and the web is searched for what’s in it. Our AI provider is Anthropic. Its terms don’t allow it to train its models on what we send.
- No other Waggli user can see your library.
- The hive is opt-in and only counts topics. If you say yes, the hive counts topics like “ramen in Sydney” from your saves. A topic only appears if at least 20 different people saved it in the week or month shown. It never counts your images, notes or name. It’s off unless you turn it on.
- We don’t sell your data. There are no ads, and there’s no third-party analytics or tracking in Waggli.
- You can delete individual saves, clear your library or close your account at any time.
Who we are
Waggli is run by Jiffi Consultancy Pty Ltd (ABN 48 667 406 868), Unit 1/136 Cronulla St, Cronulla NSW 2230, Australia (“we”, “us”). We handle personal information under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. Contact us about privacy at hello@waggli.co.
What we collect, and why
| What | Why | How we get it |
|---|---|---|
| Your email address and password | To create and secure your account. Your password is stored as a one-way hash by our sign-in provider, and we never see it. | You |
| Screenshots taken after you give photo access, as full-size images | To save and look them up. Each new screenshot is uploaded on its own, and you don’t have to do anything. Anything on the screen goes with it, so think before you screenshot passwords, bank details or other people’s messages. | Your iPhone, through the photo access you grant |
| Things you share to Waggli | Links, images, text you select, and the text of the page you’re sharing (up to 50,000 characters), so a shared page can be looked up | You, through the share sheet |
| What Waggli works out | The text in each screenshot, what it is, a title, a summary, tags, dates, and the details found (hours, prices, links, a place’s street address for a place you save, and the page each came from) | Our AI provider, from your save |
| Notes, collections, groups of screenshots taken together, and tried, loved and skipped | So your library works the way you use it | You, and Waggli on your phone |
| Your time zone | To read dates like “this Friday” correctly. If it’s an Australian time zone, web searches also look for Australian results. It’s not your location. | Your iPhone’s settings |
| Usage counts | How many saves have been read and looked up today and this month, to apply your plan’s limits | Our servers |
| Your plan, if you subscribe | To know which plan you’re on. Payment is handled by Apple or Stripe, and we never see your card. | Apple or Stripe |
What we don’t collect:
- your device location
- your contacts
- your other photos
- advertising or device identifiers
- browsing history
Waggli has no direct access to your other apps. With full Photos access, it automatically uploads everything visible in each new screenshot, including messages or account details on screen. If you use the share sheet, Waggli receives the item you choose.
Waggli has no analytics, advertising or crash-reporting code. Waggli doesn’t store a push notification token today. If we add push notifications, we’ll update this policy first.
On your iPhone only:
- Notifications about finished saves are created on your phone.
- Calendar events and reminders you add from a save go into your own Calendar and Reminders.
- Your weekly digest is built on your phone.
What happens when you save something
- It’s uploaded to your private library on our servers. You can open it in the iPhone app.
- It’s read. We send the image and the text in it to Anthropic, which works out what it is.
- It’s looked up. For saves that need it, Anthropic’s model searches the web and opens public pages to find details, using searches built from what’s in your save.
- Go deeper, when you ask, sends the save’s text (not the image) to Anthropic for more research.
- Groups. When several screenshots arrive together, their short summaries (not the images) go to Anthropic to group them.
- Check it’s still current, when you tap it, sends the save’s summary (up to 1,000 characters) to Tavily, a web search service. No image, name or email is sent.
Anthropic
Anthropic’s Commercial Terms of Service (effective 17 June 2025) say: “Anthropic may not train models on Customer Content from Services.” Under Anthropic’s standard commercial terms, what we send is kept only for a limited time, for safety and abuse monitoring.
Who processes your information
| Provider | What they do | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Hosts our database, file storage, sign-in and server functions | Your account and your library. |
| Anthropic | Reads and looks up saves | Screenshots and their text. Shared page text. The text of saves for grouping and Go deeper. Your time zone. |
| Tavily | Freshness checks | The summary of one save, when you tap Check it’s still current |
| Apple | App distribution, in-app purchases, notifications on your phone | What Apple’s own terms describe |
| Stripe | Payments on the web, when web billing starts | Your card details go only to Stripe, on Stripe’s own pages. Stripe also receives your email, the plan or top-up you buy, your billing address and your tax location. We receive your plan and its status. |
| Websites | Pages Waggli opens while looking a save up, and the preview image of a link you share | A normal web request from our servers, not from your phone |
Overseas. Some of these providers process information outside Australia, including in the United States. We use providers whose terms cover the information we send them.
The hive
The hive shows what lots of people are saving right now. It’s built from counts of topics only:
- It’s off unless you turn it on. When you first use Waggli we ask “Add your saves to the hive?”, and you can choose Add my saves or Not now. You can change your mind any time in Settings, under “Count my saves in the hive”. Turning it off removes you from future counts.
- Anyone can see the hive’s trends, whether or not they add their saves.
- A topic appears only if at least 20 different people saved it in the week or month shown. For example, a topic can appear in the monthly view even if it never reached 20 people in any single week.
- Counts are rounded, so nobody can be picked out by comparing numbers.
- Some topics are never counted: health, money, religion, politics, sexuality, legal matters, children, people’s names or handles, and long numbers like phone, card, account or order numbers.
- Places are counted at city or suburb level only.
- The hive never sees your images, your notes, your name or your library.
How long we keep things, and deleting
| You… | What happens |
|---|---|
| Keep using Waggli | Your library stays until you delete it. |
| Delete a save | It moves to Recently Deleted. After 30 days, the iPhone app tries to remove it from your library and our servers when you launch Waggli signed in, sign in, open Recently Deleted or iOS runs a background refresh. The save can stay on our servers for longer if the app doesn’t run or can’t finish the deletion. |
| Tap Delete in Settings > Recently Deleted and confirm | Waggli deletes the save from our servers first. Once that succeeds, the app removes it from Recently Deleted. |
| Choose Delete All Data in Settings > Data & Privacy | Waggli deletes your library from our servers, then clears it from your phone once that succeeds. Your account stays. A few working files stay on your phone until you delete your account or the app: copies of screenshots that were still waiting to upload, Waggli’s list of screenshots it has already seen, and changes waiting to sync. Your usage counts stay on our servers until you delete your account. |
| Delete your account | Waggli deletes your account and library from our servers. Once that succeeds, the iPhone app clears the library and its screenshot copies from your phone. If you have a web plan, it’s cancelled first. Your app preferences and anything you added to Calendar or Reminders stay on your phone. If our team acted on your account (for example to raise a limit), we keep a security record of who acted, when and why. That record keeps your old account number, not your email or your saves. See how to delete your account. |
| Archive a save | It’s hidden, not deleted. |
| Sign out | Your library is removed from that phone. Screenshots still waiting to upload stay on the phone, so they finish uploading when you sign back in. |
Web payments after you delete your account. If you paid on the web, we keep your Stripe customer reference for 30 days after deletion. It’s there only so we can refund a payment that arrives after deletion. Stripe can link that reference to its own record of you. After 30 days we delete it. Stripe keeps its own records under its terms. If we can’t reach Stripe to cancel a web plan, the deletion doesn’t go ahead, so a plan is never left running on a deleted account.
Deleted data can stay in our provider’s encrypted backups until those backups roll off on the provider’s normal schedule. Server logs used to fix problems can incidentally contain a few lines of a save’s text, and they’re kept for the provider’s log period.
Your choices and rights
- See and export your library at any time. Export is in Settings.
- Correct anything by editing a save, a note or your email.
- Delete a save, your library or your account. See above.
- Stop uploads by turning off photo access for Waggli in iPhone Settings. Nothing new is uploaded until you turn it back on.

Security
Every request to our servers checks that you’re signed in and that the save is yours. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. On your phone, waiting uploads are protected by iOS file protection, and your sign-in is kept in the Keychain. If a data breach is likely to cause you serious harm, we’ll tell you and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, as the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme requires.
Children
Waggli isn’t for anyone under 16. If you think a child has given us information, tell us at hello@waggli.co and we’ll delete it.
Complaints
Tell us first at hello@waggli.co, and we’ll respond within 30 days. If you’re not happy with our answer, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle your information, we’ll update this page and the date at the top. If the change matters, we’ll tell you in the app before it takes effect.
Early-access requests
The early-access form sends only your email address through Vercel to Resend, which holds our waitlist in the US. We use it for early-access news. You can unsubscribe or email hello@waggli.co to have it removed.
If you email us, we receive your address and whatever you include in the message. We use it to manage early access. To withdraw your request, email hello@waggli.co.
