Privacy Policy
Wüdya Inc. ("Wüdya," "we," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to all the websites, apps, events, and other services operated by Wüdya (collectively, the "Services"). Some Services may have their own unique privacy policies, in which case those policies will apply instead of this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
We collect information about you when you use our Services, including basic profile details, access logs, and information from third parties like social media accounts. You also provide information when creating an account, completing your profile, making purchases, participating in surveys or promotions, and contacting customer support. We also receive information about you from other sources, such as other users, social media, affiliates, and partners. Additionally, we may process user chats with other users as well as the content users publish, as necessary for the operation of the Services. We may obtain information from partners regarding the performance of Wüdya ads that have been placed on their platforms, which may include details on the success of a campaign. Also, we may receive information about suspected fraudulent or illegal activity, where legally allowed.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect from you to deliver and improve our Services, connect you with other users, operate advertising and marketing campaigns, prevent fraud and other illegal activities, ensure legal compliance, and for other purposes. Our legal basis for processing your information is to perform the contract that you have with us and for legitimate interests.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and other tracking technologies to personalize your experience and to collect information about your use of the Services. You can read our Cookie Policy for more information on how we use cookies and how to control their use. Additionally, some web browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that can be used to prevent websites from collecting certain information about you, but not all browsers offer this option, and we do not currently respond to DNT signals.
Sharing Your Information
We share your information with others, mainly with other users of the Services, when you voluntarily disclose information on the Services. Your information may be shared with service providers and partners who assist us in providing our Services, with other Wüdya entities for specific purposes, and with legal authorities as required by law. Your information may be shared with service providers and partners for the purpose of performing tasks such as data hosting and maintenance, analytics, customer service, marketing, advertising, payment processing, and security operations. We may also share information with partners who distribute and promote our Services. We share your information with affiliates for limited legitimate purposes, such as making all Wüdya platforms safer, for them to assist in data processing operations, improving user chances at building significant connections with others, and other legitimate business purposes. We may also transfer your information if we are involved in a merger, sale, acquisition, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, bankruptcy or other change of ownership or control. We may disclose your information if necessary to comply with legal processes, assist in the prevention or detection of crime, protect any person's safety, or enforce legal rights.
Your Rights
We want to ensure that you have control over your personal information and have provided tools and settings within the Services to help you access, rectify, or remove information associated with your account. You can also change device permissions for specific types of device data and notifications and can stop all information collection by uninstalling the app. You also have the option to close your account if you choose to stop using the Services. We would like to remind you of your privacy rights, including the right to access and update your personal information, and the right to file a complaint with the relevant data protection authority if you have any concerns about how we handle your personal information.
In addition, you have the right to request access to your personal information, to request that we rectify, delete or restrict the processing of your personal information, to object to the processing of your personal information, and to the right to data portability. You also have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal information at any time, where such processing is based on your consent.
Please note that if you exercise your rights to limit or object to the processing of your personal information, it may affect your ability to use certain features of the Services.
Data Retention
We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. We will securely delete or anonymize your personal information when it is no longer needed.
Children's Privacy
Our Services are not intended for children under the age of 18. We do not intentionally collect personal information from children under 18 years of age. If we discover that we have obtained personal information from a child under 18, we will take prompt action to remove such information.
International Data Transfers
If you are located outside of Canada and choose to use our Services, your personal information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in Canada or other countries where we or our service providers have facilities. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from those of your country of residence. By using our Services, you consent to the transfer of your personal information to countries outside of your country of residence.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our data collection, use, and sharing practices. We will notify you of any changes by posting the updated Privacy Policy on our Services and updating the "Effective Date" above. Your continued use of the Services after we have posted the updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
