We at WaveCrest Studios, a division of WaveCrest Entertainment LLC, (“WaveCrest”) know you care about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take your privacy seriously.

By using or accessing our website or any of our products, services or applications (the “Services”) in any manner, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy, and you hereby consent that we will collect, use, and share your information in the following ways.
What does this Privacy Policy cover?
This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) that we gather when you are accessing or using our Services, but not to the practices of companies we do not own or control, or people that we do not manage. We gather various types of Personal Information from our users, as explained in more detail below, and we use this Personal Information internally in connection with our Services, including to personalize, provide, and improve our services, to allow you to set up a user account and profile, to contact you and allow other users to contact you, to fulfill your requests for certain products and services, and to analyze how you use the Services. In certain cases, we may also share some Personal Information with third parties, but only as described below.
We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register for the Services or send any personal information about yourself to us. Instead, please have your parent or legal guardian supply us with their e-mail address and contact information to gain access to the Services and discuss the terms of this Privacy Policy. We will use such contact information to send notifications regarding any changes in this Privacy Policy or any communications about any use of the Services. If we learn that we have collected personal information from anyone under the age of 18, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. Under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, we do not collect personal information from users who identify themselves as under the age of 13 except where we receive verifiable parental consent. If you believe that anyone under the age of 18 may have provided us personal information, please contact us at https://www.wavecreststudios.com/contact/.
Will WaveCrest ever change this Privacy Policy?
We are constantly trying to improve our Services, so we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time as well, but we will alert you to changes by either placing a notice on the http://www.wavecreststudios.com, by sending you an email, and/or by requiring your review of such changes prior to your continued use of the Services. Please note that if you have opted not to receive legal notice emails from us (or you have not provided us with your email address), those legal notices will still govern your use of the Services, and you are still responsible for reading and understanding them. If you use the Services after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree to all of the changes. Use of information we collect now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is used.
What Information does WaveCrest Collect?
For Smartwatch Clock Faces:
Our clock face apps, available for Fitbit and other devices, may display information such as heart rate, step count, or other fitness data when viewing the app. The app does not store or utilize that data in any way other than to display it on the clock face. You may be required to permit the app to access such information before using the app, but our app never transmits the data anywhere.
For Other Services:
Information You Provide to Us:
We receive and store any information you knowingly provide to us. For example, through the registration process and/or through your account settings on some of our services and apps, we may collect Personal Information such as your name, email address, birthdate, profile photo, or your company name. We may also collect and store authorization tokens for interacting with third-party accounts that you choose to use and connect to our Services (for example, for authorizing payment through PayPal, interacting with third party social networks, or other third party sites). Certain information may be required to register with us or to take advantage of some of our features.
We may communicate with you if you have provided us the means to do so. For example, if you have given us your email address, we may send you promotional email offers on behalf of other businesses, or email you about your use of the Services. Also, we may receive a confirmation when you open an email from us. This confirmation helps us improve our services.
Information Collected Automatically
Whenever you interact with some of our Services, we may automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser or device, which may include your IP address, operating system, device identification, the type of browser and/or device you are using to access our Services, “cookie” information, your score and other quantifiable information in the game you are playing, and the page or feature you requested. “Cookies” are identifiers we transfer to your browser or device that allow us to recognize your browser or device and tell us how and when pages and features in our Services are visited and by how many people, as well as to track views and logins to facilitate collaboration through the Services. You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or device to prevent or limit your device’s acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our features. If you click on a link to a third party website or service, such third party may also transmit cookies to you. Again, this Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies by any third parties, and we are not responsible for their privacy policies and practices.
We may use this data to customize content for you based on your usage patterns. We may also use it to improve the Services – for example, this data can tell us how often users use a particular feature of the Services, and we can use that knowledge to make the Services interesting to as many users as possible.
Will WaveCrest Share Any of the Personal Information it Receives?
We neither rent nor sell your Personal Information in personally identifiable form to anyone. However, we may share your Personal Information with third parties as described in this section:
Information that is no longer personally identifiable: We may anonymize your Personal Information so that you are not individually identified, and provide that information to our partners. We may also provide aggregate usage information to our partners, who may use such information to understand how often and in what ways people use our Services, so that they, too, can provide you with an optimal online experience. However, we never disclose aggregate usage information to a partner in a manner that would identify you personally, as an individual. In the course of doing so, WaveCrest may utilize Google Analytics tools, which are subject to certain additional terms and conditions of which you should review here: http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
Affiliated Businesses: In certain situations, businesses or third party websites we are affiliated with may sell or provide products or services to you through or in connection with the Services (either alone or jointly with us). You can recognize when an affiliated business is associated with such a transaction or service, and we will share your Personal Information with that affiliated business only to the extent that it is related to such transaction or service, like a third party credit card processing vendor such as PayPal. We have no control over the policies and practices of third party websites or businesses as to privacy or anything else, so if you choose to take part in any transaction or service relating to an affiliated website or business, please review all such business’ or websites’ policies.

We may use a service to show ads when using our products, such as Unity Ads. When an app uses Unity Ads, it displays a notice to the user the first time an ad is shown on their device giving them the option to opt in or out of personally identifiable information collection. Subsequent ads also display a button that users can use to manage their data privacy options. You can read Unity’s privacy policy here: https://unity3d.com/legal/privacy-policy.

Your account privacy settings may allow you to limit the other users who can see the Personal Information in your user profile and/or what information in your user profile is visible to others. Please remember that any content you upload and any account that you are linked to may permit the user of such linked account to view Personal Information that you have supplied to WaveCrest.

If any of the information we hold on you is inaccurate or incomplete, you may ask us to correct or complete it at any time.
Business Transfers: We may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that would be transferred.

Is Personal Information about me secure?

You may be able to add, update, or delete information as explained above. When you update information, however, we may maintain a copy of the unrevised information in our records. You may deactivate your account through the account settings features, however we may retain certain information as permitted by this Privacy Policy. Some information may remain in our records after your deletion of such information from your account. We may use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your Personal Information after you update or delete it, but not in a manner that would identify you personally.
