If you are using our global Wysa mobile app then please read the terms here. When using our apps and services, you agree to follow these terms and let us use your data as described in our Privacy Policy.

These terms of service are a legal agreement between you and us (“Wysa”). Wysa’s holding company (Touchkin eservices Private Limited) is registered in India. Wysa is also registered in England and Wales as Wysa Ltd and in the USA as Wysa Inc.
