This privacy policy applies to the use of the WeWard Mobile Application (the "Mobile Application"), to the access to the Services we provide and is intended to inform you about the collection, use and more generally the processing of your personal data. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Terms of Use. Please note that you must be 15 years of age or older to use the Services.

As part of the Services, we may provide you with a feature that allows you to search for friends using their phone number, last name, first name, nickname, or by using your Facebook and/or Google credentials. If you choose, you will be asked to allow the Weward Application to access your address book or certain information associated with your Facebook and/or Google account, such as your name, profile picture, gender and list of friends. To the extent you consent, this information will be processed by us to identify your friends who use the Application or to allow you to invite friends to install the WeWard Application. WeWard SAS will never directly contact your friends, non-users of the platform.

2/ With your consent (legal basis), we will collect information about your location, history of places visited, and your physical activity in order to (i) personalize the reward offers visible on the Application according to your profile and your location, (ii) propose you points of interest corresponding to your profile (places to visit). You can enable and disable location by using your mobile device's operating system settings. However, when you disable this feature, you will only have access to limited functionality of the Application and, in particular, it will be technically impossible for us to collect your physical activity and location information, which will prevent tracking and/or converting your movements into Wards. You will, however, be able to earn Wards by performing other actions (viewing advertisements, making purchases, participating in surveys etc.).

With your consent, we also process:

You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at the email address listed at the end of this Policy or directly from the Mobile Application settings.

3/ As WeWard is a community of users, each person can view certain information related to other users (number of steps, number of Wards, their subscribers, CO2 saved, their contribution to the funding of the community's user rewards). To not share this data, you can choose to make your account "private" in the "settings" of the application so that it is only visible to your subscribers and not to all users. You can also remove subscribers from your account at any time.

WeWard may ask you to upload a photograph. The purpose of this processing is to provide social features that allow you to have a profile that can be identified by another user. The interest is only to make the App more "friendly".

As WeWard is present on social networks, the messages exchanged and the publications are also analyzed and taken into account for the proper functioning of the company.

The legal basis of these processing operations is the legitimate interest of WeWard being specified that the sending of the requested photo is not compulsory and that a refusal does not carry any consequence.

Recipients

Your personal data is processed by WeWard for the purposes described above and to this end, WeWard is likely to transmit your data to third parties belonging to the following categories:

On the one hand, to our subcontractors: WeWard may engage trusted partners acting as subcontractors and more specifically:

- as part of the provision of the Services by analyzing your data to tally your Wards as well as to allow us to provide you with the Wards you wish to convert into Reward;
- to our advertising partners, such as Ironsource https://developers.ironsrc.com/ironsource-mobile/air/ironsource-mobile-privacy-policy/. Ironsource shares data with the following advertising partners: https://developers.is.com/ironsource-mobile/general/ironsource-exchange-programmatic-partners/, who act as data controllers.
