We’re happy to meet you!
At Waverly AI inc. (referred to as “Waverly”, “Waverly AI”, “we”, or “us”), we understand that you want transparency about how we process your personal data. This Privacy Policy contains information about your privacy and your rights.
This Privacy Policy applies to your use of the Waverly application (“App”), the Waverly AI website at https://waverly.social (“Website”), our use of social media, and the communications you may have with us from time to time (together, the “Services”).
Waverly AI’s App is a cross between a personal journal and a search engine which is powered by artificial intelligence. The App collects information which you provide in order to come up with recommendations that align with your values. In order to be able to offer you this service, we collect personal information about you, so that we may provide you with personalized recommendations.
If you have any concerns or inquiries regarding the processing of your personal data, do not hesitate to reach out to us! You can e-mail us at support@mywaverly.com.
This Privacy Policy applies to personal data. We consider that “personal data” means any information which allows us to identify you directly or indirectly, including “cookies” and other electronic data. Some information may not be personal on its own, but may become personal data if associated with or if the sum of the information allows us to identify you.
A “cookie” is information that a website puts on your computer’s hard drive so that the website can remember something about you at a later time. In this Privacy Policy, when we refer to “cookies” we include other technologies with similar purposes, such as pixels, tags and beacons. If you are looking for more information on cookies, you can refer to websites such as http://www.cookiecentral.com/ and https://www.allaboutcookies.org/.
This Privacy Policy is for transparency purposes and some of the data that we identify in this Privacy Policy as personal data may not be protected as personal data under applicable laws.
If you click through to links to third parties’ websites, applications, or services from our Services, this Privacy Policy does not apply to the processing of personal data by such external services. It is always a good idea to read their privacy policies to understand what they do with your personal data!
For example, if you see content on Waverly which links to an external website and if you click through, that website may also collect personal data about you. We do not control the data collection of these third parties, and if you have any questions about how they process your personal data, you should contact them directly.
We collect personal data to offer our Services, and to perform analytics. Below is a table containing the categories of personal data that we collect, along with the purpose for such collection.
We do not use cookies or other data tracking technologies on our Website. We use tracking technologies such as pixels and cookies to collect statistics on the use of the App. We use Mixpanel to collect analytics data based on usage of the App.
Yes, we do share your personal data with third parties for a number of reasons including providing you with the Services and as required by the law. We may also share your personal data in the context of a merger and acquisition, as part of bankruptcy procedures or for other corporate requirements.
Just to be clear, we are not data brokers, and we do not sell your personal data to third parties.
In the table below, we provide more information on the third parties we share your personal data with, and provide hyperlinks to their privacy policies.
We use AWS to store your personal data. Our service providers may process your personal data internationally, including in the United States, depending on where they are located.
We retain personal data for as long as necessary to provide you with the Services, to perform our marketing campaigns effectively or as required by applicable laws, whichever is longer.
We use physical, electronic, and administrative measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. Our hosting provider AWS is certified ISO/IEC 27001:2013 and ISO 27701. We use identity and access management to limit access to your personal data to the developers who need to access it.
The law provides you with rights over your personal data. Your rights vary depending on the laws that apply to your situation, and the specific circumstances of the request. Waverly acknowledges the right of individuals to access their personal data. Upon request to support@mywaverly.com, we will provide you with confirmation as to whether we are processing your personal data, and have the data communicated to you within a reasonable time. Your rights differ depending on where you are located in the world.
In most locations, you have the right to correct, amend or delete your personal data where it is inaccurate or has been processed in violation of this Privacy Policy.
If you want to exercise one of these rights and the situation allows for such exercise, you can contact us at support@mywaverly.com. We will try to help you with your request free of charge. However, we may request that you pay a reasonable fee if you request a transcript, or a reproduction or for us to send a copy of your personal data, if the law allows us to do so. If we need to charge a fee to process your application, we will contact you before addressing your request.
For security reasons and to avoid fraudulent requests, we may be required to ask that you provide proof of identity with your request. We will not use such personal data for any other purposes.
We will respond to your request within thirty (30) days, unless agreed otherwise. If your request is denied, we will notify you in writing, and provide you with detailed motives and information on how to contest our decision.
