1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how I, the developer of the Wavest mobile application (the "App") and the Wavest website (the "Website"), handle your information. By using the App or Website, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

I am the developer of Wavest and responsible for your information. You can contact me at:

3. Information I Collect

The App and Website use Google Analytics services. I do not directly collect or store personal information that identifies you, such as your name or direct contact details, unless you voluntarily provide it (e.g., by emailing me for support).

• Information Collected Automatically by Google Analytics:
  • Usage Data via Google Analytics for Firebase (App): To understand how the App is used and to improve it, I use Google Analytics for Firebase. This service may collect data such as features used, time spent in the app, device type, operating system, and general location.
  • Usage Data via Google Analytics (Website): To understand how the Website is used and to improve it, I use Google Analytics. This service may collect data such as pages visited, time spent on the site, browser type, and general location.
  • For more information on how Google collects and uses data, please review Google's Privacy & Terms.

4. How I Use Information

The information collected by Google Analytics is used to:

• Provide and maintain the App's and Website's functionality.
• Personalize your news feed based on topics followed or articles read within the App (this personalization happens on your device or through anonymized interaction data).
• Analyze usage patterns to monitor and improve the App and Website.
• Troubleshoot issues.

5. Data Sharing

I do not sell your personal information. Information may be shared by Google Analytics as described in their privacy policy. I may also disclose information if required by law.

6. Your Choices & Rights

• Google Analytics: You can learn about Google's practices by going to Google Privacy Policy, and opt-out of them by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Within the App, you may be able to control certain data collection through your device or app settings.
• Access and Control: Depending on your region (e.g., under GDPR or similar laws), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your data, or object to its processing. To exercise such rights regarding data potentially held by Google Analytics, please refer to their privacy policy or contact me at wavestapp@gmail.com for guidance on how to approach them.

7. Data Security

I rely on the security measures implemented by Google Analytics. While I strive to use services that protect your information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

8. Children's Privacy

The App and Website are not intended for children under the age of 13 (or a higher age threshold if applicable in your region). I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information, please contact me so I can address it.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. I will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the App and/or on this Website, and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
