WeSave Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may change from time to time, so please check back periodically. Except as limited below, we reserve the right to use and/or disclose your personally identifiable information for business reasons in whatever manner desired. All information collected from and provided by you will be shared with WeSave's affiliated companies, and all successors and assigns thereto. This Privacy Policy will explain the following regarding use of our Site and Apps:

What information does WeSave collect from you?

In order to better provide you with the services offered on the WeSave Site, WeSave collects two types of information about its visitors: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information.

Personally Identifiable Information (PII) -This refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are. Personal information is requested in many ways, for example, when you register and set up an Account, post on the WeSave Site and Apps, utilize a feature or service, register a payment card, fill out surveys, and send us feedback. For example, this information might include your name, billing address, shipping address, Facebook ID, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card or other payment information, and product details. With this information, WeSave can better provide you with personalized services. For some third-party services, we may collect your personal information on behalf of these service providers and share it with them.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information (NPII) - This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. We gather certain information about you based upon where you visit on, and how you use our Site in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. For example, this information may include gender, geographic location, genres, categories and Sellers you interact with, the Web site's Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, cookies, device information, your Internet Protocol ("IP") address and NPII third party information passed to us from your third party registration on WeSave (e.g., from Facebook login when applicable). On an aggregated basis, we collect anonymous data related to the pages, posts, communications, products, features, uploads, downloads, and other content that is sampled, clicked on, streamed, searched for, transferred, uploaded, and downloaded. When content on WeSave is shared into social media, that content may be tagged and tracked in social media the social media site may pass back certain information such as likes, shares, comments, and other interactions that such content receives within the social media network. Except as otherwise limited in this Privacy Policy, we may disclose, share, sell, trade, or rent Non-Personally Identifiable Information to others without your consent.

Where do we collect information from you and how do we use it?

Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide WeSave's visitors and Members with a superior customized experience. We use the customer contact information in many ways, including without limitation to communicate with customers, to inform them of their status, to send promotional information, and to enhance the operation of our Site and Apps and administer our systems. Demographic data also may be collected at our Site and Apps from third party log-in services, advertising servers, content servers, or web site analysis agents who provide us with the zip code and area code associated with a visitor's server, along with pages viewed on our Site and/or Apps. We review the actions of the WeSave visitors and Members to determine customers' preferences. WeSave also does research on our visitors' and Members’ demographics, postings, interests, and pages viewed based on the information provided to us during content uploading, posting comments and reviews, a promotion, from our server log files, from our Site and Apps analysis agents, or from drawings, postings or surveys. We will use this data to tailor the visitor's experience at our Site and Apps, to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to statistically analyze Site and App use, to improve our product and services offerings, and to customize our Site's and Apps’ content, layout, and services. We receive reports from third party ad servers, content servers, or website and app analysis agents that tells us how many ads were presented and clicked upon or what content was served or viewed. We may also share your personally identifiable information with third parties who provide services to us, our customers and website visitors. Those third parties include authorized contractors, temporary employees and consultants and other companies working with us (collectively, "agents"). Where we believe it to be appropriate (in our sole discretion), we will ask our agents not to disclose or use your personal information for purposes other than to provide services to you or WeSave. We gather information in the following ways:

Use of the Site, Apps and Services Generally - We collect IP addresses, cookies and device and usage for the purposes of system administration, and gather broad demographic information, to enable ads to be served on our Site and Apps and generally to report Non-Personally Identifiable Information to our advertisers and Sellers on WeSave whose storefront you have visited, and to monitor the level of activity on our Site and Apps. We collect information from visitors to our Site and Apps regarding the URLs they came from, domain types, their IP addresses cookies and device information, all geographic and demographic information, the date and time of their visit or various use, the number of visits and various uses, the number of visits per session, the server type, the operating system and browser type used to come to the Site and Apps, the country, state and telephone area code where their servers are located, the pages and page titles of our Site and Apps that visitors viewed during their visit, whether the visitor's computer is enabled for Java or cookies, browser language, applications and plug-ins, and any search terms entered on our Site and Apps. We also track customers' traffic patterns throughout their session, including which pages, information, and advertisements a customer views while using the Site and Apps, content posting, communications and all other use of the Site and Apps.

Residents of Certain U.S. States.

California - California law entitles residents to ask us for a notice describing what categories of personal information we share with third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes. Unless you request us to or consent to us doing so, WeSave does not sell any personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. If you have questions about these practices, please review the California code at https://www.oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa or contact us at privacy@wesave.com. California law also provides residents with rights to request access to and deletion of certain personal information, to know whether personal information is shared, and to opt out of the "sale" of personal information. California law currently defines "personal information" broadly as information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual or household.
