Guestbook & Message Wall privacy policy

Last updated: November 11, 2026

Guestbook & Message Wall ("the app", "we") is an app for Wix sites that lets visitors leave a message, an emoji and a photo in a guestbook, and lets the site owner approve what is published. This policy explains what data the app uses and why. By using the app, you agree to this policy.

Data from visitors who sign the guestbook

• The name and message the visitor types, the emoji they pick and, if they add one, a photo. Before upload the photo is made smaller in the visitor's browser, which also removes metadata such as the location where it was taken.
• An anonymous visitor id that Wix gives to every site visitor, the language of the page and the time of the entry. The app uses them to limit how often one visitor can post and to show dates. The app does not ask for or store emails, phone numbers or IP addresses.
• Entries are stored in a data collection on the site's own Wix account and not on servers of ours. Photos are stored in a Guestbook folder of the site's Media Manager. Visitors see only published entries, with the name, message, emoji, photo and date; the visitor id and the reason an entry waits for approval are never shown.
• Submissions that look automated, such as a filled hidden field or a form sent within seconds, are discarded and not stored.
• The app does not use cookies, tracking or analytics.

Data from site owners

• The app stores your guestbook settings in the same site's data collection: approval, blocked words, form and look options, notification choices and the language of your dashboard for emails.
• To tell you about new entries, the app reads the site owner's email (Read Site Owner Email permission) and sends an email through Wix (Manage Email Marketing permission), plus a notification in your dashboard and the Wix app (Manage Notifications permission). The email does not include the visitor's name or message. You can turn each off in the settings.
• Photos are uploaded to and removed from your Media Manager (Manage Media Manager permission). Deleting an entry moves its photo to the Media Manager trash.
• The app reads the app plan from Wix to know whether the guestbook should show on the live site, and keeps only whether the plan is active and when it was checked.
• If you ask Aria about your guestbook, the app returns counts of entries and your settings to Aria inside Wix, never names or messages. Aria can only read, not change anything.

We do not sell data and we do not use it for advertising. As the site owner, you decide what to publish and are responsible for telling your visitors how you use their entries.

Where data is processed

The app runs on Wix hosting, and data stays in the site's Wix account. Wix acts as our service provider. If you email us, we use your message and address only to answer you.

Retention, access and deletion

Entries stay until you delete them in the app dashboard; hiding an entry only removes it from your site. You can export entries to a CSV file at any time. A visitor who wants an entry removed can ask the site owner. When you uninstall the app, Wix may keep or delete the app's data collection under its own rules, so export your entries first; photos already in your Media Manager stay there until you delete them. To ask a question about your data, email us.
