OYWA

Terms and conditions

Last updated: 11 October 2026

These terms govern the use of the OYWA app and the www.oywa.it website. By using them, you accept these terms.

This is a translation of the Italian original. In case of discrepancies, the Italian version prevails.

1.Who we are

OYWA is the project that develops the OYWA app and the www.oywa.it website (“we”). The controller's details are given in the privacy policy. For any communication: staff@oywa.it.

2.Who can use OYWA

OYWA is intended for people aged 16 or over. By using the app you confirm that you are at least that age.

3.The service

OYWA is a free app to archive the places you visit when travelling. It has no purchases or subscriptions and shows no ads.

The app is currently in testing: it may contain errors and its features may change, be added or be removed. We may suspend or end the test version at any time; the data you have already saved stays on your device.

4.Your data and backups

The content you enter remains yours and is stored only on your device, as explained in the privacy policy. We have no access to your data and cannot recover it if it is lost, for example if your phone breaks or you uninstall the app.

You are responsible for creating and keeping backups. For this purpose the app lets you export a full backup and, if you turn it on, offers a monthly reminder.

5.Permitted use

You may use OYWA for personal purposes. You may not use it for unlawful activities, to infringe other people's rights or to overload the external services it relies on, for example by sending mass automated requests to OpenStreetMap services.

6.Third-party services

For maps, search and geocoding OYWA uses OpenStreetMap services; for navigation it can open external apps such as Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze. Those services' own terms apply. Map data is © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License (ODbL). We are not responsible for the availability or accuracy of third-party services.

7.Intellectual property

The OYWA name and brand, the design, illustrations, texts and software of the app and website belong to us or to their respective owners. You may not copy, modify or distribute them without permission, except as permitted by law.

8.Warranties and liability

OYWA is provided free of charge, “as is”. We do our best to make it work well, but we do not guarantee that it is error-free or always available.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for the loss of data stored on your device or for indirect damages arising from the use of the app. This does not affect liability for wilful misconduct or gross negligence, nor the rights that the law grants consumers and that cannot be waived.

9.Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, for example when the app changes. We will publish the new version on this page with the update date and, for important changes, let you know in the app.

10.Governing law

These terms are governed by Italian law. If you are a consumer, you keep the mandatory protections of the law of the country where you live, and any dispute falls under the jurisdiction of the courts of your place of residence or domicile.

11.Contact

For questions, reports or complaints write to staff@oywa.it.
