Last updated: October 10, 2023

This Privacy Policy describes the privacy practices of Wist Labs Inc. (“Wist,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and how we handle personal information that we collect through our website located at http://WistLabs.com, our mobile application(s), and any other sites or services that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”).

Information you provide to us:

Account information, such as your name, email address, and other similar information when you register an account with us.
Video and content information, such as the videos, images and AR/VR or other content that you may record and process through the Services. For the avoidance of doubt, Wist does not capture or derive biometric identifiers (e.g. retina scan, fingerprint, voiceprint, etc.) from the data and information you may provide to the Services.
Transaction information, such payment information and authentication details when you purchase a subscription for the Services.
Feedback or correspondence, such as information you provide when you contact us with questions, feedback, reviews, or otherwise correspond with us online.
Usage information, such as information about how you use the Services and interact with us.
Marketing information, such as your preferences for receiving communications about our activities, services, and publications, and details about how you engage with our communications.
Other information that we may collect which is not specifically listed here, but which we will use in accordance with this Privacy Policy or as otherwise disclosed at the time of collection.

Information we obtain from third parties. We may maintain pages on social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other third-party platforms. When you visit or interact with our pages on those platforms, the platform provider’s privacy policy will apply to your interactions and their collection, use and processing of your personal information. In addition, the Services may enable you to login through or otherwise connect to an account from a third-party platform. You or the platforms may provide us with information through the platform, and we will treat such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may also obtain your personal information from other third parties, such as marketing partners, publicly-available sources and data providers.

Automatic data collection. We and our service providers may automatically log information about you, your computer or mobile device, and your interaction over time with our Services, our communications and other online services, such as:

Device data, such as your computer’s or mobile device’s operating system type and version, manufacturer and model, browser type, screen resolution, RAM and disk size, CPU usage, device type (e.g., phone, tablet), IP address, unique identifiers (including identifiers used for advertising purposes), language settings, mobile device carrier, radio/network information (e.g., WiFi, LTE, 4G), and general location information such as city, state or geographic area.
Online activity data, such as pages or screens you viewed, how long you spent on a page or screen, browsing history, navigation paths between pages or screens, information about your activity on a page or screen, access times, and duration of access, and whether you have opened our marketing emails or clicked links within them.
Email Open/Click Information. We may use pixels in our email campaigns that allow us to collect your email and IP address as well as the date and time you open an email or click on any links in the email that we may send to you.

We use the following tools for automatic data collection:

Cookies, which are text files that websites store on a visitor’s device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser for the purpose of helping you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, enabling functionality, helping us understand user activity and patterns, and facilitating online advertising.
Local storage technologies, like HTML5, that provide cookie-equivalent functionality but can store larger amounts of data, including on your device outside of your browser in connection with specific applications.
Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, which are used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked.

To create anonymous data. We may use your personal information to create anonymous data from your personal information and other individuals whose personal information we collect.

Your Sharing: When you use our Services, we may enable you to grant other users with access to the AR/VR memory and other video content that we process on your behalf. You may revoke access to any user through the settings made available to you within the Services. However, you agree and acknowledge that revoking access does not delete or remove any content that such user may have saved or exported onto their own device or otherwise.

Our Sharing: We may share your personal information in the following circumstances:

Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings. For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Note that because these opt-out mechanisms are specific to the device or browser on which they are exercised, you will need to opt-out on every browser and device that you use.

Do Not Track. Some Internet browsers may be configured to send “Do Not Track” signals to the online services that you visit. We currently do not respond to “Do Not Track” or similar signals. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.

Other sites, mobile applications and services

Our Services may contain links to other websites, mobile applications, and other online services operated by third parties. These links are not an endorsement of, or representation that we are affiliated with, any third party. In addition, our content may be included on web pages or in mobile applications or online services that are not associated with us. We do not control third party websites, mobile applications or online services, and we are not responsible for their actions. Other websites and services follow different rules regarding the collection, use and sharing of your personal information. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the other websites and mobile applications and online services you use.

Security Practices

We use reasonable organizational, technical and administrative measures designed to protect against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, disclosure, alteration and destruction of personal information we maintain. Unfortunately, data transmission over the Internet cannot be guaranteed as completely secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of personal information. In the event that we are required to notify you about a situation involving your data, we may do so by email or telephone to the extent permitted by law.

Children

Our Services are not intended for use directly by children, and we do not collect personal information directly from them. We define “children” as anyone under 16 years old. If we learn we have collected or received personal information directly from a child without verification of parental consent, we will delete the information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child, please contact us at support@wistlabs.com. For clarity, as an adult, you may use the Services to view, process and share video and other content that contains images of your children.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by updating the date of this Privacy Policy and posting it on our Services. We may also provide notification of changes in another way that we believe is reasonably likely to reach you, such as via e-mail (if you have an account where we have your contact information) or another manner through our Services.

Any modifications to this Privacy Policy will be effective upon our posting the new terms and/or upon implementation of the new changes on our Services (or as otherwise indicated at the time of posting). In all cases, your continued use of the Services after the posting of any modified Privacy Policy indicates your acceptance of the terms of the modified Privacy Policy.
