This Privacy Policy was posted and is effective for new users on [public posting date], 2024.

The prior versions of WAVE BUDDY’s privacy policies apply until [public posting date + 10 days] and are available upon request to [email protected].

The Privacy Policy applies to the personal information collected from users of the Services in which the Privacy Policy is posted or linked, when the Privacy Policy is specifically referenced in the Services or when WAVE BUDDY asks you to acknowledge it. This Privacy Policy also covers personal information that we collect from consumers who contact us by email, telephone and offline, such as during an in-person event.

This Privacy Policy also may apply to personal information provided to us by consumers who engage with us through social media. Please contact us at [email protected]. if you have questions about whether this Privacy Policy applies to specific personal information connected with social media.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to websites and other online services operated by other organizations. Those other websites and services follow their own privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy. Please make sure to check those privacy policies so you know how your information is handled.

We use cookies and other data collection technology to recognize you and/or your device(s) when you use the Services and collect personal information about you.

In some rare cases, there may be some websites that are part of the Services which have specific notices about cookies and other data collection technology that apply to specific websites and consumers. If you visit a WAVE BUDDY website with a notice about cookies, then that website’s cookie notice applies.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are sent to or accessed from your web browser or your computer's hard drive. A cookie typically contains the name of the domain (internet location) from which the cookie originated, the “lifetime” of the cookie (i.e., when it expires) and a randomly generated unique number or similar identifier. A cookie also may contain information about your computer or device, such as settings, browsing history and activities conducted while using the Services.

wave buddy also uses “pixels” (sometimes called web beacons). Pixels are transparent images that can collect information about email opens and website usage across websites and over time.

Cookies that wave buddy sets in the Services are called first-party cookies. Cookies set in the Services by any other party are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality on or through the Services, such as analytics and marketing automation. The parties that set third-party cookies can recognize your device both when you use it to access the Services and also when you use it to visit certain other websites. To learn more about cookies generally, visit www.allaboutcookies.org (http://www.allaboutcookies.org).

Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome) incorporate a “Do Not Track” (DNT) or similar feature that signals to websites that a user does not want to have his or her online activity and behavior tracked. If a website that responds to a particular DNT signal receives the DNT signal, the browser blocks that website from collecting certain information from the browser cache. Not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform. For this reason, many website operators, including wave buddy, do not yet respond to DNT signals.

Why does wave buddy use cookies and other data collection technology?

Some cookies are required for the Services to operate. Other cookies enable us to track the interests of users for targeted advertising and to enhance the experience of the Services.

The types of cookies served on through the Services and why they are used is as follows:

• Strictly necessary cookies are required for the Services to operate.
• Performance or Analytics cookies collect information about how the Services are used so we can analyze and improve the Services. Performance or analytics cookies typically remain on your computer after you close your browser until you delete them.
• Advertising cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you by helping us display advertisements that are based on your inferred interests, prevent the same ad from appearing too often and ensure that ads are properly displayed for advertisers.
• Social media cookies allow users to interact more easily with social media platforms. We do not control social media cookies and they do not allow us to gain access to your social media accounts without your permission. Please refer to the relevant social media platform’s privacy policy for information about the cookies used.

Data collection technology enables wave buddy to monitor the traffic patterns from one webpage to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether users visit the Services after seeing our online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve performance of the Services and to measure the success of our email marketing campaigns. wave buddy’s Cookie Policies (available in certain jurisdictions) describe wave buddy’s use of data collection technology.

Google Products

Where permitted by applicable law, the Services use Google Analytics for targeted advertising (which Google sometimes refers to as ‘remarketing’). Google uses cookies that Google recognizes when consumers visit various websites. The data collected through Google’s cookies helps wave buddy analyze how the Services are used and, for some Services and in some jurisdictions, to personalize marketing communications and digital advertising.

The Services also embed videos from YouTube (a Google company) by framing. This means that, after you click the button to play a YouTube video through the Services, a connection between the Services and the YouTube servers is established. Then, an HTML link provided by YouTube is inserted into the code of the Services to create a playback frame. The video stored on the YouTube servers is then played by the frame in the Services. YouTube also receives information that informs YouTube that you are currently using the Services: your IP address, browser information, the operating system and settings of the device you are using, the URL of the current web page, previously-visited web pages if you have followed a link, and the videos you watched. If you are logged into your YouTube account, the information may be associated with your YouTube user profile. You can prevent this association by logging out of your YouTube account before using the Services and deleting the corresponding cookies.

For more information about how Google uses cookies in advertising, please visit Google’s Advertising (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) page.

To prevent Google Analytics from using your data, you can install Google’s opt-out browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).

To opt out of ads on Google that are targeted to your interests, use your Google Ads settings (https://adssettings.google.com/).

If you are located in the EEA, Switzerland or UK, please note in particular that, if you allow Google’s cookies in wave buddy’s Privacy Preference Center, the information generated by those cookies about use of the Services is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. wave buddy used technology tools, including Google’s IP Anonymization tool, to exclude the last part of your IP address before the data is transferred by Google to the United States, as well as Google’s tools for deactivation of data sharing and Google signals and User-ID settings in Google Analytics for certain jurisdictions. Google will not associate an IP address with any other data held by Google.

On behalf of wave buddy, Google will use the data described above to compile reports that help wave buddy operate and provide the Services.

Meta Products

Some part of the Services use products and features offered by Facebook, Instagram and Messenger and Facebook apps (Meta Products). The Meta Products use tags, pixels (the Meta Pixel (https://www.facebook.com/business/help/742478679120153?id=1205376682832142)) and other unique tracking codes and technology that collect user information (including personal information) from the Services. Facebook tracks user interactions with the Services after a user clicks on an ad placed on Facebook or other services provided by Meta (called a conversion) and enables wave buddy to learn more about how users engage with ads (https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy?subpage=4.subpage.2-AdvertisersAndAudienceNetwork&dialog_back=1) and similar information. The Meta Products use the collected data for Meta’s own purposes, including to improve the Meta Products. Meta may transfer data that it collects from the Services to the USA and other countries, where you may have fewer rights to related to your personal information. To learn more about how the Meta Products collect, use and process personal information and how you can manage or delete personal information about you, please see the Privacy Policy for the Meta Products at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.

Your Cookie Choices

You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is set. (Most browsers accept cookies automatically but allow you to disable them but note that some features of the Services may not work properly without cookies.)

As noted above, Google has developed an opt-out browser add-on if you want to opt out of the cookies used for Google Analytics. You can download and install the add-on for your web browser here: (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout). You may refuse the use of these cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. To learn more about how to view and manage your information on the Meta Products, please see here: (https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy?section_id=6-HowCanYouManage).

Certain jurisdictions in which the Services are available also have cookie policies which are separate from and supplement this Privacy Policy and tools to manage cookies.
