Wawamiro Inc. is a camera and fashion company. Our
products and services — including Wawamiro.com, Hua Scarf, and others that link
to this Privacy Policy — provide fast and fun ways to express yourself, live in
the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together!
When you use these services, you’ll share some
information with us. So we want to be upfront about the information we collect,
how we use it, whom we share it with, and the controls we give you to access,
update, and delete your information.
That’s why we’ve written this Privacy Policy. And it’s
why we’ve tried to write it in a way that’s easy to understand for all our
users and blissfully free of the legalese that often clouds these documents. Of
course, if you still have questions about anything in our Privacy Policy, just contact us.
You should read our entire Privacy Policy, but when
you only have a few minutes or want to remember something later on, you can
always take a look at this overview and video. We also encourage you to
check out the rest of our Privacy Center. We designed it to give you
easy-to-digest summaries of our privacy practices. For example, our Privacy by Product page provides a breakdown of
specific privacy features for our products.
There are three basic categories of information we
collect:
● Information you provide.
● Information we get when you use our services.
● Information we get from third parties.
Here’s a little more detail on each of these
categories.
Information You Provide
When you interact with our services, we collect
information that you provide to us. For example, many of our services require
you to set up an account, so we may need to collect a few important details
about you, such as your name, username, password, email address, phone number, and
date of birth. We may also ask you to provide us with some additional
information that will be publicly visible on our services, such as a profile
picture or Bitmoji avatar. Some services, such as commerce products, may
require you to provide us with a debit or credit card number and its associated
account information.
Of course, you’ll also provide us whatever information
you send through our services, such as Aawamiro. Keep in mind that the users
who view your published outfit, Chats, photo, and any other content can always
save that content or copy it outside the app. So, the same common sense that
applies to the internet at large applies to our services as well: Don’t send
messages or share content that you wouldn’t want someone to save or share.
When you contact customer support or communicate with
us in any other way, we’ll collect whatever information you volunteer or that
we need to resolve your question.
Information We Get When You Use Our Services
When you use our services, we collect information
about which of those services you’ve used and how you’ve used them. We might
know, for instance, that you watched a particular Story, saw a specific ad for
a certain period of time, and sent a few outfit. Here’s a fuller explanation of
the types of information we collect when you use our services:
● Usage Information. We collect information about your activity through our services. For example, we may collect information about:
● how you interact with our services, such as which Clothes or Outfits you view or apply to Wawamiro,
● how you communicate with other wawamiro usrers, such as their names, the time and date of your communications, the number of messages you exchange with your friends, which friends you exchange messages with the most, and your interactions with messages (such as when you open a message or capture a screenshot).
● Content Information. We collect content you create on our services, such as custom stickers, and information about the content you create or provide, such as if the recipient has viewed the content and the metadata that is provided with the content.
● Device Information. We collect information from and about the devices you use. For example, we collect:
● information about your hardware and software, such as the hardware model, operating system version, device memory, advertising identifiers, unique application identifiers, apps installed, unique device identifiers, device usage data, browser type, keyboards installed, language, battery level, and time zone;
● information from device sensors, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, compasses, microphones, and whether you have headphones connected; and
● information about your wireless and mobile network connections, such as mobile phone number, service provider, IP address, and signal strength.
● Device Phonebook. Because our services are all about communicating with friends, we may — with your permission — collect information from your device’s phonebook.
● Camera, Photos, and Audio. Many of our services require us to collect images and other information from your device’s camera and photos. For example, you won’t be able to send or upload photos from your camera roll unless we can access your camera or photos.
● Location Information. When you use our services we may collect information about your location. With your permission, we may also collect information about your precise location using methods that include GPS, wireless networks, cell towers, Wi-Fi access points, and other sensors, such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, and compasses.
● Information Collected by Cookies and Other Technologies. Like most online services and mobile applications, we may use cookies and other technologies, such as web beacons, web storage, and unique advertising identifiers, to collect information about your activity, browser, and device. We may also use these technologies to collect information when you interact with services we offer through one of our partners, such as advertising and commerce features. For example, we may use information collected on other websites to show you more relevant ads. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually remove or reject browser cookies through the settings on your browser or device. Keep in mind, though, that removing or rejecting cookies could affect the availability and functionality of our services. To learn more about how we and our partners use cookies on our services and your choices, please check out our Cookie Policy.
● Log Information. We also collect log information when you use our website, such as:
● details about how you’ve used our services;
● device information, such as your web browser type and language;
● access times;
● pages viewed;
● IP address;
● identifiers associated with cookies or other technologies that may uniquely identify your device or browser; and
● pages you visited before or after navigating to our website.
Information We Collect from Third Parties
We may collect information about you from other users,
our affiliates, and third parties. Here are
a few examples:
● If you link your Wawamir account to another service, we may receive information from the other service, like how you use that service.
● Advertisers, app developers, publishers, and other third parties may share information with us as well. We may use this information, among other ways, to help target or measure the performance of ads. You can learn more about our use of this kind of third-party data in our Support Center.
● If another user uploads their contact list, we may combine information from that user’s contact list with other information we have collected about you.
What do we do with the information we collect? For the
detailed answer, go here. The short answer is: Provide you
with an amazing set of products and services that we relentlessly improve. Here
are the ways we do that:
● develop, operate, improve, deliver, maintain, and protect our products and services.
● send you communications, including by email or SMS where permitted. For example, we may use email or SMS to respond to support inquiries or to share information about our products, services, and promotional offers that we think may interest you.
● monitor and analyze trends and usage.
● personalize our services by, among other things, suggesting friends, profile information, or Bitmoji stickers, helping Wawamiro user find each other in Wawamiro, affiliate and third-party apps and services, or customising the content we show you, including ads.
● add context to your Wawamiro experience, for example by tagging your Memories with searchable labels based on your location (of course, if you’ve given us permission to collect your location) and the content of your photo or video (e.g., if there’s a dog in your photo, it may be searchable in Memories by the term “dog”).
● provide and improve our advertising services, ad targeting, and ad measurement, including through the use of your precise location information (again, if you’ve given us permission to collect that information), both on and off our services. We may also store information about your use of third-party apps and websites on your device to do this. Learn more. See the Control Over Your Information section below for more information about Wawamiro Inc.’s advertising practices and your choices.
● enhance the safety and security of our products and services.
● verify your identity and prevent fraud or other unauthorised or illegal activity.
● use information we’ve collected from cookies and other technology to enhance our services and your experience with them.
● enforce, investigate, and report conduct violating our Terms of Service and other usage policies, respond to requests from law enforcement, and comply with legal requirements.
We may also use information from Apple’s TrueDepth
camera to improve the quality of Lenses. Information from the TrueDepth camera
is used in real time — we don’t store this information on our servers or share
it with third parties.
We may share information about you in the following
ways:
● With other Wawamiro User. We may share the following information with other wawamiro users:
● information about you, such as your username, name, and Bitmoji.
● information about how you have interacted with our services, such as your Outfit “score,” the names of Wawamiro User you are friends with, how close you are with your friends on Wawamiro, your recent location history (if you choose to share your location on Wawamiro), and other information that will help Wawamiro understand your connections with others using our services. For example, because it may not be clear whether a new friend request comes from someone you actually know, we may share whether you and the requestor have Wawamiro friends in common.
● information about your device, such as the operating system and device type, to help you receive Chats,Cloth, Outfits, and other content in the optimal viewing format.
● content you post or send. How widely your content is shared depends on your personal settings and the type of service you are using.
● With all Wawamiro User, our business partners, and the general public. We may share the following information with all Wawamiro users as well as with our business partners and the general public:
● public information like your name, username, profile pictures, and Public Profile.
● Public Content like your Highlights, Custom Stickers, Lenses, Story submissions that are set to be viewable by Everyone, and any content that you submit to an inherently public service,. This content may be viewed, used, and shared by the public at large both on and off our services, including through search results, on websites, in apps, and in online and offline broadcasts.
● With third parties. We may share information with third parties in the following ways:
● We may share information about you with service providers who perform services on our behalf, including to facilitate payments and measure and optimize the performance of ads and deliver more relevant ads, including on third-party websites and apps.
● We may share information about you with business partners that provide services and functionality on our services. For more information about information collected by third parties on our services.
● We may share information about you, such as device and usage information, to help us and others prevent fraud.
● We may share information about you for legal, safety, and security reasons. We may share information about you if we reasonably believe that disclosing the information is needed to:
● comply with any valid legal process, governmental request, or applicable law, rule, or regulation.
● investigate, remedy, or enforce potential Terms of Service and Community Guidelines violations.
● protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our users, or others.
● detect and resolve any fraud or security concerns.
● We may share information about you as part of a merger or acquisition. If Wawamiro Inc. gets involved in a merger, asset sale, financing, liquidation or bankruptcy, or acquisition of all or some portion of our business to another company, we may share your information with that company before and after the transaction closes.
● Non-personal information. We may also share with third parties that provide services to us or perform business purposes for us aggregated, non-personally identifiable, or de-identified information.
Wawamiro lets you capture what it’s like to live in
the moment. On our end, that means most messages — like Chats — sent in
Wawamiro will be automatically deleted by default from our servers after we
detect they’ve been opened by all recipients or have expired. Other content,
like outfit posts, are stored for longer. For detailed information about how
long we store different types of content, check out our website
We store other information for longer periods of time.
For example:
● We store your basic account information — like your name, phone number, and email address — and list of friends until you ask us to delete them.
If you ever decide to stop using Wawamiro, you can
just ask us to delete your account. We’ll also delete most of the information
we’ve collected about you after you’ve been inactive for a while!
Keep in mind that, while our systems are designed to
carry out our deletion practices automatically, we cannot promise that deletion
will occur within a specific timeframe. There may be legal requirements to store
your data and we may need to suspend those deletion practices if we receive
valid legal process asking us to preserve content, if we receive reports of
abuse or other Terms of Service violations, or if your account, content created
by you, or content created with other users is flagged by others or our systems
for abuse or other Terms of Service violations. Finally, we may also retain
certain information in backup for a limited period of time or as required by
law.
We want you to be in control of your information, so
we provide you with the following tools.
● Access, Correction, and Portability. You can access and edit most of your basic account information right in our apps. You can also use Download My Data to obtain a copy of information that isn’t available in our apps in a portable format, so you can move it or store it wherever you want. Because your privacy is important to us, we will ask you to verify your identity or provide additional information before we let you access or update your personal information. We may also reject your request to access or update your personal information for a number of reasons, including, for example, if the request risks the privacy of other users or is unlawful.
● Revoking permissions. In most cases, if you let us use your information, you can simply revoke your permission by changing the settings in the app or on your device if your device offers those options. Of course, if you do that, certain services may lose full functionality. For promotional emails and SMS, you may opt out by clicking on the unsubscribe link or similar mechanism as provided.
● Deletion. While we hope you’ll remain a lifelong wawamiro, if for some reason you ever want to delete your account. You can also delete some information in the app, like photos you’ve saved to Memories, Spotlight submissions, and search history.
● Advertising Preferences. We try to show you ads that we think will be relevant to your interests. If you would like to modify the information we and our advertising partners use to select these ads, you can do so in the app and through your device preferences.
● Tracking. If you opt out of tracking on devices running iOS 14.5 or more recent versions, we will not link identifiable information from third-party apps and websites with identifiable information from Wawmiro for advertising purposes, except on your device. You can control use of this on-device data for advertising by opting out of Activity-Based Advertising in Wawamiro Ad Preferences Settings.
● Communicating with other Wawamiro User. It’s important to us that you stay in control over whom you communicate with. That’s why we’ve built a number of tools in Settings that let you indicate, among other things, who you want to see your Stories, whether you’d like to receive chat from just your friends or all wawamiro user, and whether you’d like to block another wawamiro user from contacting you again.
You may have specific privacy rights in your state or
region. For example, in the United States, residents of California and other
states have specific privacy rights. Wawamiro User in the European Economic
Area (EEA), the UK, Brazil, the Republic of Korea, and other jurisdictions also
have specific rights. We keep an up-to-date overview of state and region
specific disclosures.
Our services are not intended for — and we don’t
direct them to — anyone under 13. And that’s why we do not knowingly collect
personal information from anyone under 13. In addition, we may limit how we
collect, use, and store some of the information of EEA and UK users between 13
and 16. In some cases, this means we will be unable to provide certain
functionality to these users. If we need to rely on consent as a legal basis
for processing your information and your country requires consent from a
parent, we may require your parent’s consent before we collect and use that
information.
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time.
But when we do, we’ll let you know one way or another. Sometimes, we’ll let you
know by revising the date at the top of the Privacy Policy that’s available on
our website and mobile application. Other times, we may provide you with
additional notice (such as adding a statement to our websites’ homepages or
providing you with an in-app notification).
