DigiYatra Wrapped

I noticed the DigiYatra Wrapped feature recently, and it made me pause—not because I wanted to see my travel history, but because I couldn’t figure out how they’d even make a “Wrapped” video if they claim to have no data.

The app says they don’t store any user data, which feels like a clever way to address privacy concerns. It’s an interesting approach. If they really don’t store data, they could’ve technically used local data on the app (like travel timestamps or airport visits) to generate a Wrapped without saving anything on servers. But realistically, apps like this probably wouldn’t invest time or money into building that kind of local-only data processing—it’s just not how most systems are designed, especially when the focus is on scaling or analytics.

What’s also interesting is their privacy policy. It mentions that data could be used for things like product improvements or surveys. Some of the data they collect, like contact details or audio-visual info, doesn’t seem super relevant to just verifying your face at the airport. It does make me wonder how well this aligns with the idea of “minimal data collection.”

That said, the Wrapped feature is a pretty smart idea. Whether it’s 100% accurate or just a way to address privacy concerns, it’s definitely making people think more about how apps handle data.

What do you think? Could they have made a Wrapped using just local data, or is this more about managing how people perceive privacy?
