Below is an overview of the categories of Personal Data we process about you, as well as the purposes and legal bases for our processing.
Our processing does not include sensitive Personal Data.
Purpose: To administer and deliver the Services — including creation, activation, deactivation and maintenance of the Services and your profile and any sub-accounts — we request certain Personal Data from you. Failure to provide this data may mean we cannot enter into a contractual relationship with you, and you may be unable to use our Services.
Categories of Personal Data:
When creating sub-accounts or kids accounts, including wish lists for others, we process name, age and gender based on the information you provide when activating the account. If you use information about other individuals, you must ensure those individuals are also made aware of this privacy policy.
Legal basis: Article 6(1)(b) GDPR — processing necessary for the performance of a contract with you.
For phone number and profile picture: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest in communicating with you and providing a personalised experience.
Purpose: Personal Data is processed for the development and improvement of the Services — for example through data analysis — as well as for the development of new services and solutions.
Categories of Personal Data:
Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest in improving and developing the Services and solutions, including generating useful and accurate statistics.
Purpose: To make it easier for you to find and connect with friends who already use the app, and to invite friends who do not.

You can disable this feature in your phone's settings at any time. GoWish only syncs phone contacts if you actively grant permission via your phone's settings.

Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest in helping you invite friends to your wish list.
Purpose: Personal Data is processed so that GoWish can send you newsletters and information about products or services related to GoWish and its partners via electronic media, such as email, SMS or push notifications, where you have given your consent in accordance with the Danish Marketing Practices Act. We do not send newsletters to users under the age of 15.
Categories of Personal Data:

We therefore provide recommendations and inspiration lists in our inspiration universe to deliver better personalised content and more relevant product information. For this purpose, we segment users' wishes based on basic demographic data and compile statistics at an aggregate level based on wish list items, age and gender. The goal is to create top lists of popular products for various occasions and present these to you in your profile.
Categories of Personal Data:
Please note: Recommendations and inspiration lists may contain advertisements and affiliate links.
Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest in providing better individual services and more relevant product information.
Purpose of the processing: We process your personal data to show you relevant marketing about Ønskeskyen and our partners' products on the digital media and social platforms you use. This includes targeted advertising based on your interests and behaviour, as well as retargeting, where you as a previous visitor may be shown relevant ads on third-party platforms and social media such as Facebook, Instagram and Google. In connection with this, we may share your email address in hashed form with selected platforms and partners in order to match you with relevant advertisements.

We take the protection of children's Personal Data very seriously. Our processing of data relating to children under 15 is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection legislation (including the GDPR) and the guidelines of the Danish Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet).
The Services are not intended for use by children under 15 without adult consent. If you are the parent of a child under 15 and believe your child has submitted Personal Data to us without your consent, please contact us immediately. We will then delete the information from our system.
We collect and process ordinary Personal Data about children under 15 in order to provide and improve our Services. This may include:
As a Kids Account is linked to a parent account, the parent account is the controlling account.
This information is used to:
Children under 15 do not have access to our creator universe, and no tracking technologies, retargeting or profiling directed at this age group are used. Only the gift generator relevant to the child's age is shown. No advertisements, social feeds or marketing pop-ups are displayed.
Parental controls are built into Kids Accounts. Parents can view and manage wish lists. If the parent account is deleted, the associated Kids Account is automatically deleted.
We only retain children's Personal Data for as long as necessary to provide the Services or meet our legal obligations. When an account has been inactive for 2 years, or when parents or guardians request it, we permanently delete or anonymise the data. Deleted data cannot be recovered, and any associated wish lists are removed at the same time.
We transfer Personal Data to data processors who carry out various tasks on our behalf, including hosting, support, technical operations, analytics, service improvement and newsletter distribution.
We have entered into data processing agreements with all our data processors. They may only access and process Personal Data on our behalf, based on our instructions and for our specified purposes.
We may also disclose Personal Data where required to comply with applicable law, court orders or other public authority decisions, or where disclosure is necessary to uncover or investigate suspected unlawful use of the Services.
We use Google as a supplier of certain technical and analytical solutions, including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Google Cloud services. In this context, Google may receive technical data such as IP addresses, browser and device information, language settings and usage data from our Services. Your customer ID, email, postcode and behavioural data may be stored in Google Cloud. We use Google Cloud to aggregate and process your data in order to better present recommended products on the website and in our marketing. This data is stored within the EU, and only trusted GoWish employees have access to it. Google processes the data as a data processor on our behalf under a data processing agreement.
Where possible, we require our partners to process your data within the EU/EEA. However, some of our suppliers operate outside the EU/EEA, for example in the USA, and use of these suppliers involves the transfer of your Personal Data outside the EU/EEA. Where processing within the EU/EEA is not possible, we ensure transfers take place in accordance with Chapter V of the GDPR.
Transfers to third countries assessed as providing an adequate level of protection do not require specific authorisation.
For transfers to countries outside the EU/EEA, we ensure an appropriate transfer mechanism is in place, such as:
We currently work with the following service providers outside the EU/EEA:
| Provider | Country | Purpose | Data transferred |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare | USA | IT security & performance | IP address, location, website endpoints |
| ActiveCampaign | USA | Newsletter distribution (with consent) | Name and email |
| Twilio | USA | Sending administrative emails | Name and email |
We also share Personal Data collected via cookies on our website with the third-party providers listed in our cookie policy.
We may share your data with third parties, including partners involved in digital advertising, who use it for targeted advertising and so-called "Custom Audience" matching. We currently work with: Google LLC, Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., TV2 Danmark A/S, Dentsu A/S and Snap Group SAS. Users who do not wish to have their data shared may opt out at any time, unconditionally, via their membership profile page under 'Advertising Partners'.
We may also produce aggregated and anonymised analyses based on data collected through the Services — for example, statistical insights about trends, product popularity, wish list activity, traffic patterns or other platform usage metrics. These analyses do not identify individual users and do not contain Personal Data. They may be used internally or shared with partners, service providers or other third parties for analytical, product development or reporting purposes.
We retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary for the purpose of the processing.
This means we will retain your Personal Data for as long as you have an active profile with GoWish. If you delete your account via your profile, your data will be deleted or anonymised within 5 days, unless we have a legitimate interest or legal obligation to retain it.
We retain your data for up to 2 years after the last activity on your profile. "Activity" includes creating a wish, reserving a wish, or similar actions.
For marketing purposes, including newsletter subscriptions, we retain your data until you withdraw your consent and no longer wish to receive communications from us.
If you have participated in a competition, we delete your data no later than 12 months after the competition has been fully concluded and administered. Data necessary to document that the competition was based on valid consent is retained for two years after opt-out, in accordance with the limitation rules in the Danish Marketing Practices Act.
If you have granted GoWish access to your address book in order to see which of your contacts also use GoWish, GoWish deletes that data immediately. It is not stored by GoWish.
We ask you to keep the Personal Data you provide to us up to date and to correct any changes by updating your GoWish profile. If you are unable to correct your information yourself, you can contact us with your specific request at kontakt@onskeskyen.dk.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your profile and login credentials (including your password), and for all activities carried out under your profile. If you create a profile with us, do not share your login credentials with anyone.
Your rights are as follows:
To exercise any of the above rights, please send a request to privacy@onskeskyen.dk. You will receive a response within 30 days.
We have implemented a number of measures to protect your Personal Data and safeguard your rights. Please note that some rights only apply under certain circumstances. Datatilsynet has published guidance on the rights of data subjects.
If you have general questions about this privacy policy, wish to exercise any of your rights as described above, or disagree with the way we process your Personal Data, please contact GoWish at privacy@onskeskyen.dk.
If you disagree with the way GoWish processes your Personal Data, you may also lodge a complaint with the Danish Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet) using the contact details available at www.datatilsynet.dk. We hope, however, that you will first contact GoWish at privacy@onskeskyen.dk so that we can try to resolve the matter together.
This privacy policy is updated on an ongoing basis and revised regularly. The current version is always the one available here on GoWish.com.
This policy has been prepared in Danish and may be translated into other languages. In the event of any discrepancy or ambiguity between the Danish version and a translation, the Danish version shall prevail.
This is version 4 of GoWish's privacy policy, dated 25 March 2026.
