• Information Collected by Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies: We employ tracking technologies such as cookies and web beacons to collect information about your usage. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help us enhance our Services and your experience, analyze popular areas and features, and count visits. Web beacons, also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs," are electronic images used on our Services and in our emails to assist in delivering cookies, counting visits, and understanding usage. We also collaborate with third-party analytics providers who use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers, and other technologies to collect information about your usage of our Services and other websites and applications. This includes data like your IP address, web browser, mobile network information, pages viewed, time spent on pages or in mobile apps, and links clicked. This information may be used by Wevolver and others for various purposes, such as data analysis, content popularity analysis, delivering content tailored to your interests, and gaining a better understanding of your online activity. For detailed information on cookies and how to disable them, please see the "Your Choices" section below.

We obtain information from third-party sources, including social networks, accounting services providers, and data analytics providers. Additionally, if you create or log into your Wevolver account through a third-party platform like Apple, Facebook, Google, or Twitter, we may access specific information from that platform, such as your name, lists of friends or followers, birthday, and profile picture, following the authorization procedures determined by the platform.

We may derive information or make inferences based on the data we collect. For example, we may infer your location from your IP address or deduce reading preferences based on your reading history.

We utilize the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Creating and managing your Wevolver account.
• Processing transactions and sending related information, such as confirmations, receipts, and user experience surveys.
• Sending technical notices, security alerts, support messages, and administrative communications.
• Responding to your inquiries and providing customer support.
• Communicating with you about new content, products, services, and features offered by Wevolver, along with providing other relevant news and information (you can find opt-out information in the "Your Choices" section).
• Monitoring and analyzing trends, usage, and activities related to our Services.
• Detecting, investigating, and preventing security incidents and other malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activities while safeguarding the rights and property of Wevolver and others.
• Debugging to identify and rectify errors in our Services.
• Complying with our legal and financial obligations.
• Fulfilling any other purpose disclosed to you at the time of information collection.

We share personal information in the following situations, as further described in this policy:

• Sharing with other users of the Services: For example, when you use our Services to publish content, certain information about you may be visible to others, including your name, photo, bio, other account information, and information about your activities on our Services.
• Sharing with vendors, service providers, and consultants: We may share personal information with third parties who need access to it to perform services on our behalf, such as companies assisting with web hosting, storage, infrastructure, analytics, payment processing, fraud prevention, security, customer service, communications, and marketing.
• Legal obligations and protection: We may disclose personal information if required by applicable law or legal processes, including lawful requests from public authorities for national security or law enforcement purposes. We will notify you if we disclose your personal information unless prohibited by law or if it may endanger others or facilitate illegal conduct.
• Enforcement of policies and rights: We may share personal information if we believe your actions are inconsistent with our user agreements or policies, if we suspect a violation of the law, or if we deem it necessary to protect Wevolver, our users, the public, or others.
• Professional advisors: Personal information may be shared with our lawyers and other professional advisors when necessary for advice or to protect and manage our business interests.
• Business transactions: We may share personal information in connection with, or during negotiations concerning, mergers, sales of company assets, financing, or acquisitions of all or part of our business by another company.
• Affiliated companies: Personal information is shared among Wevolver, our current and future parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, and other companies under common control and ownership.

• Aggregated or de-identified information: We may share information that has been aggregated or de-identified to the extent that it cannot reasonably identify you.

Some of the content displayed on our Services is not hosted by Wevolver. Users can post content hosted by third parties, which is then embedded in our pages ("Embeds"). When you interact with an Embed, it may transmit information about your interaction to the hosting third party, as if you were visiting the third party's site directly. For example, when you view a Wevolver post with a YouTube video Embed and watch the video, YouTube receives information about your activity, such as your IP address and the portion of the video you watched. Wevolver does not control the information collected through Embeds or how it is used. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected through Embeds. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of the third party hosting the Embed before interacting with it.

Wevolver is headquartered in the the Netherlands, Europe, and operates with service providers in Europe. Consequently, we and our service providers may transfer your personal information to, store, or access it in jurisdictions that may not offer data protection levels equivalent to those in your home jurisdiction. For example, personal data is transferred to Amazon Web Services, one of our service providers that processes personal information globally. We take steps to ensure that your personal information receives appropriate protection in the jurisdictions in which we process it.
