PRIVACY POLICY
How we collect and use your information
In this Privacy Policy, the term "Personal Information" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to a name, an identification number, or, in certain circumstances, location information, an IP address or the unique identifier allocated to each Walli Smart Products device. Specifically, we collect, process and use the following information from you, which may include Personal Information:
Placing an Order
Contact Information
When you place an order on our website, you’ll need to provide an email address, a first and last name, and a shipping and billing address and any other information you voluntarily give to us.
Payment Information
In order to complete your order on our website, you’ll need to provide payment information, such as your credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. This information is needed in order to process your order and is not stored on our servers but servers of our 3rd party providers.
Registration for the use of our Services
You can register for the use of our Services by manually creating a Walli Smart Products account or by using an existing social network account, such as Facebook or Google, to create one.
When creating a Walli Smart Products account, you’ll need to provide a display name, a valid email address and a password. You can choose whether or not your display name includes your first and/or last name.
When using an existing social network account, we obtain your profile information and your email address from this account. The information we get from social networks often depends on your settings or their privacy policies, so be sure to check what those are.
We do not identify you personally to other users or make your account information available to any third parties in any way that could identify you without your prior consent.
Information from your use of our Services
Walli Smart Products ID and name
When you activate Walli Smart Products using the Walli Smart Products app, that Walli Smart Products’ unique identifier (or Walli Smart Products ID) will be associated with your account. If you choose to name your Walli Smart Products, this information will also be associated with your account.
Location Information
Walli Smart Products is designed to tell you where your items are. In order to do that, it’s necessary to collect data about your location. We use the term “Location Information” to refer to the combined location data of your phone or device, and your Walli Smart Products.
While the app is running on your device, it periodically transmits your Location Information (even while running in the background). This allows us to show you, on your map, the last place your Walli Smart Products was seen by your device. It is one of the primary ways Walli Smart Products helps you find your lost items.
We may also collect and update location information for your Walli Smart Products "anonymously" (i.e., we will not disclose your identity to the other user and not disclose the other user's identity to you) from other Walli Smart Products users who are running the app within Bluetooth range of your device. We do this to provide you with the most recent and accurate location of your Walli Smart Products, even if they are out of your devices’ Bluetooth range. The Location Information associated with your Walli Smart Products is never made available to these users.
If you use a computer, phone, or other device in relation to the Services, we use the IP address of that computer or device to determine an approximate location. We do this so that we can provide you with a better, more-personal experience.
We may also use your Location Information to promote the Services or provide you with personalized offers. However, your Location Information is never shared with other users unless you choose to share it through our Services.
Usage Information
These days, whenever you use a website, mobile application, or other internet service, there’s certain information that almost always gets created and recorded automatically. The same is true when you use our Services. We track how, and how often you use our Services. We also collect certain information that your mobile device sends when you use them for Services. This includes information such as your device’s model, operating system type and version, and the dates and times of your requests. We use this information to provide you with optimal Services and customer support, and to collect anonymous statistics that helps us understand our user base.
Information collected through Walli Smart Products’ Support Services
We provide support services via live chat on our website, email request submissions, recorded inbound and outbound telephone calls and direct email. We collect Personal Information you may have to provide to our customer care team in the process. This includes, but is not limited to: your name, email address, phone number, and mailing address. In the absence of such data, we cannot provide you with Support Services. We may use and process your Personal Information, including Location information, to handle your support request and provide you with the best support possible, including quality assurance control.
As described in greater detail below, we may share this information (including Personal Information) with our affiliates and with third party partners (as defined below) and use it in ways consistent with this Privacy Policy.
