We, together with the vendors we use, may collect information about your use of our Services by such automated means, including, but not limited to, cookies, pixels, and other similar technologies. Cookies and similar technologies can help us automatically identify you when you return to our website or mobile application. Cookies help us review traffic patterns, improve the website, and determine what Services are popular. We can also use such information to deliver customized content and advertising to users of the Services whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

• Limited information (e.g., IP addresses, pageview, etc.) may be collected through third party online tools such as cookies, as described above. As explained above, you can opt-out of certain cookies or take other steps to prevent such collection.

• We may share approximate location data with other users of the app to enable the core functionality of nearby user discovery.
• We may share basic profile information and preferences with other users for matching purposes.
• We may share your personal information with service providers that we believe need the information to perform a technology, business, or other professional function for us (examples include: IT services, maintenance and hosting of our Services, payment processors, marketing partners, marketing partners, identity verification services, and other service providers). We only provide such vendors with information so they can perform their required functions on our behalf.

6. Your Privacy Choices

We offer you certain choices about what information we collect from you, howe we use and disclose the information, and how we communicate with you.

• Marketing Emails: From time to time, we may contact you via email for the purpose of providing announcements, promotional offers, alerts, confirmations, surveys, and/or other general communication. You may choose not to receive marketing emails from us by clicking the unsubscribe link in the marketing emails you receive from us, by sending an email to info@windersocialapp.com Even if you opt out of receiving such communications, we will continue sending you non-marketing email communications, such as administrative or transaction alerts, or information about changes to our Privacy Policy, when necessary;
• Text messages: You have the right to choose who you receive texts from. Wonder Social strives to make it easy to sign up to receive texts as well as opt out of text messages. You may choose to opt out from the text messages we send to you by replying "STOP" to any text message, or by sending an email to [info@wondersocialapp.com].
• Cookies: Web browsers may offer users the ability to disable certain types of cookies; however if cookies are disabled, some features or functionality of our Services may not function correctly; and
• Targeted Advertising: We may potentially work with advertising services who collect information about your online activities and provide you with choices regarding the use of your browsing behavior for purposes of targeted advertising.
• Location Data: We collect and use location information only to enable the nearby users feature within the app. Location access is requested through Apple’s standard system permission prompt and is entirely optional. Granting location permission alone does not make a user visible to others.
• User Consent and Manual Check-In: Users have full control over whether their location is visible to others. Location visibility is enabled only when a user manually chooses to activate the “Make Me Visible” option. This option is turned off by default and must be explicitly enabled by the user each time they wish to appear on the map.
• Temporary Location Sharing: When enabled, location visibility is temporary and automatically expires after one hour. Location visibility is also disabled automatically when the app is closed or restarted. There is no automatic, persistent, or background location sharing.
• Ability to Decline or Disable Location Sharing: Users may decline location permission or disable location visibility at any time. The app remains functional even if location access is not granted or if location visibility is turned off.
• Blocking and User Safety: Users can block other users at any time. When a user is blocked, they can no longer view profiles, communicate, or see each other’s location within the app.
• Data Retention: Location data is stored only for the duration of an active manual check-in. Once the check-in expires, is turned off, or the app is closed, the location data is no longer used or displayed.
• Data Sharing: We do not sell or share location data with third parties. Location information is used solely within the app to provide the nearby users feature and user-initiated interactions.

7. State-Specific Rights

Certain privacy laws may provide additional rights with respect to our collection and use of personal information. Due to our size, operations, and nature of our business, we may not be subject to any particular state's privacy laws, but you can submit such requests to us via the contact information provided below and we will endeavor to fulfill any obligations that are legally required, otherwise we will respond to such request in our discretion. Such states may provide rights such as to: (i) disclose personal information maintained about the individual; (ii) collect or delete personal information maintained about the individual (subject to certain exceptions); (iii) not sell personal information about the individual to a third party (excluding qualified service providers); and (iv) not engage in third party targeted advertising. We do not engage in impactful profiling activities with respect to a user's personal information, use sensitive personal information except for the reasons provided and do not generally provide a financial incentive in return for the collection or use of personal information (except where disclosed with relevant terms at the time of collection). We do not share personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. It can be unlawful to discriminate against an individual for exercising such rights.

8. How We Protect Information

We endeavor to maintain reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we maintain against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. However, we cannot ensure the security of any information you transmit to us, or guarantee that this information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. We will make any legally required disclosures in the event of any compromise of personal information. To the extent the law allows us to provide such notification via e-mail or conspicuous posting on the Services, you agree to accept notice in that form.

We will only retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for any business, legal, account or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for such personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the information, the purposes for which we process the information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, as well as all applicable legal requirements.
