Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us. At WompMobile Inc. we have a few fundamental principles:

  • We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
  • We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
  • We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.
  • In our social networking and mobile application products, we aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what’s visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.

Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:

WompMobile Inc. (“WompMobile”) operates several websites including WompMobile.com (collectively, the “Websites”), as well as a number of mobile applications on behalf of our customers (collectively, the “Applications”). It is WompMobile Inc.’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our Websites and Applications.

Website Visitors and Application Users

WompMobile Inc. collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. WompMobile Inc.’ purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how WompMobile Inc.’ visitors use its Websites and Applications. From time to time, WompMobile Inc. may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its Websites or Applications.

WompMobile Inc. also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. WompMobile Inc. does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to WompMobile Inc.’s Websites and users of WompMobile Inc.’s Applications choose to interact with WompMobile Inc. in ways that require WompMobile Inc. to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that WompMobile Inc. gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a social network at WompMobile.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with WompMobile Inc. – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, WompMobile Inc. collects such information only as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with WompMobile Inc. WompMobile Inc. does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain Website-related and Application-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

WompMobile Inc. may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its Websites and users of its Applications. For instance, WompMobile Inc. may monitor the most popular social networks on the WompMobile.com site. WompMobile Inc. may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, WompMobile Inc. does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

WompMobile Inc. discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on WompMobile Inc.’s behalf or to provide services available at WompMobile Inc.’s Websites and Applications, and (ii) that have formally agreed not to disclose this information to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using WompMobile Inc.’s Websites and Applications, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. WompMobile Inc. will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, WompMobile Inc. discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when WompMobile Inc. believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of WompMobile Inc., third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of either WompMobile Inc. Websites or Applications and have supplied your email address, WompMobile Inc. may occasionally send you an email to update you about new features, solicit your feedback on our products and services, or inform you of changes in our pricing structure. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. WompMobile Inc. takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
