To best serve your needs, we periodically collect certain personal and technical information from you.

Technical information (Cookies).  When you use our Services, we may automatically collect and store your technical information, through cookies or similar technology.  A cookie is a small data file that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser, and is stored by your web browser on your computer.  We use cookies to collect standard Internet log information and visitor behavior information. Cookies help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services.

We use remarketing services to advertise to you on third-party websites, after you visit our website.  This allows us to display advertisements to visitors who may not have completed a task on our website, such as filling out a request for information or purchasing items in their cart.  Remarketing may take the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page, a site in the Google Display Network, or an ad network, or Facebook.

We also may use Google’s “cross-device functionality” to show ads to signed-in Google-users who have chosen to allow Google to display personalized ads by associating their web and app browsing history with their Google account.  You can disable personalized advertising through your Google account settings.

Information We Share with Others

We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties without advance notice. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.

For example, we may share your personally identifiable information with the following third-party services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon AWS, Stripe, Tapfiliate, Google Fonts, Intercom.

On rare occasions, we may disclose specific information upon governmental request, in response to a court order, or when required by law to do so.

Updating or Reviewing Your Information

You may review or update your personal information (name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card number, etc.) under your account at any time.

Opting Out of Targeted Advertising, Sharing, and Sales. We process personal information to understand and improve your experience with our Services and to serve you targeted advertisements. Some of these activities may be considered “sales” or “sharing” of your personal information or “targeted advertising” under certain privacy laws. To opt out of preference-based advertising, use the form linked below. Note, this will not stop you from seeing sponsorships or advertisements in our newsletters, but those ads will be selected randomly rather than based on your known preferences.

Security

We are committed to protecting the privacy of your Personal Information.  We intend to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of information that we collected from you.

We use a variety of current technologies and processes for the protection of information we collect and we limit the information we provide to third parties.  We have security measures in place to help protect information under our control from the risk of accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, or unauthorized disclosure or access.  However, “perfect security” does not exist on the Internet and we cannot promise or guarantee the absolute security of your personal information.

When you make a purchase of or submit a document using our Services, your transactional information is transmitted in a safe, encrypted format. In the unlikely case of a data breach, the following steps will be followed:

  • Site, server and database access will temporarily be disabled
  • All of our passwords and security certificates will be changed
  • Our Users will be emailed and notified of the breach
  • An internal investigation will be started to ascertain as much as we can about the breach
  • The Wavve site, server and databases will be re-enabled once they’ve been proven to be secure
  • Changes will be made, and documented, to prevent a similar breach in the future
  • A follow up email will be sent to all of our Users, detailing what we learned from the investigation, along with the steps to prevent future breaches
