Privacy Policy

1. What we collect

  • Email address — if you join our mailing list or create an account.
  • Account and session data — if you create an account: your intentions, session history, preferences, and settings, used to personalise sessions (including the auto-deepening that adapts to how you sit).
  • Payment data — if you purchase a paid plan, handled by our payment provider; we do not store full card details.
  • Technical data — server logs (IP address, browser type, request path) retained briefly by our hosting provider (Vercel) for security and operational purposes. We do not run behavioural analytics.
  • Ad measurement data — only if you allow it in the cookie prompt on our website: see section 9.

2. Why we use it (lawful bases)

  • To provide and personalise the service (performance of a contract / legitimate interest).
  • To send you emails you asked for (consent).
  • To measure whether our Reddit and Google ads bring people to Waveonic (consent — given and withdrawn through the cookie prompt).
  • To process payments (performance of a contract).
  • To maintain security and improve the product (legitimate interest).

3. Mailing list

If you join our mailing list, we use your email to send occasional updates about Waveonic. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email. Email is handled through our email provider (Resend) and stored in our database (Supabase).

4. Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with service providers who help us run Waveonic (hosting, database, email, payments), under agreements that require them to protect it. If you allow ad measurement, limited data is shared with Reddit as described in section 9. Some providers may process data outside the EU under appropriate safeguards.

5. Retention

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above, or as required by law. You can ask us to delete your account and associated data.

6. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your data, and to object to certain processing or withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@waveonic.com. You may also complain to the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).

7. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data. No system is perfectly secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes are reflected by the “Last updated” date.

9. Cookies and browser storage

Waveonic uses no analytics cookies. We use optional advertising measurement tools, only with your consent, plus strictly necessary and functional storage:

  • Authentication cookies — set by our authentication provider (Supabase) when you sign in. These are essential to keep you logged in and cannot be declined without breaking the service.
  • Functional localStorage — we store your preferences and session state locally in your browser: theme (light/dark), sound preference, voice-intro preference, visual-mode preference, session history (used as a local fallback and for personalisation), per-intent settings and session counts (used for adaptive depth), recently played audio (to avoid repeats), and one-time safety acknowledgements (photosensitivity caution, taster health notice). All keys are prefixed waveonic- or waveonic_ and contain no personal data beyond your own settings.
  • sessionStorage — temporary tab-scoped flags used to pass state between screens during a session (e.g. whether the current session is a taster, or an AI-composed plan). These are cleared automatically when the browser tab is closed.

Reddit ad measurement (optional). If you choose “Allow” in the cookie prompt on our website, we load the Reddit Pixel, which sets a Reddit cookie (_rdt_uuid) and we store the Reddit ad-click id you arrived with (waveonic_rdt_cid). When you sign up, join the mailing list or buy a plan, we also tell Reddit about that event directly from our servers (Reddit’s Conversions API), sending a one-way hash of your email address and account id, your IP address, browser type and those identifiers. Reddit uses this to attribute the event to an ad and may process it under its own privacy policy. None of this happens if you choose “No thanks”, and it never happens in the Waveonic iOS or Android app, or during a sitting. Your choice is stored in a cookie (waveonic_ad_consent) for a year; you can change it at any time via “cookies” in the site footer.

Google Ads measurement (optional). Under the same “Allow” choice, we load Google’s tag (gtag.js, from googletagmanager.com), which sets a Google advertising cookie (_gcl_au) to attribute an ad click to a later conversion. Google uses this to measure ad performance and may process it under its own privacy policy. It is governed by the same consent as above: nothing loads if you choose “No thanks”, it never runs in the Waveonic iOS or Android app or during a sitting, and withdrawing consent stops it and clears its cookies.
