Privacy Policy

At WOWHOW, privacy is not an afterthought — it is a foundational principle. This Privacy Policy explains how WOWHOW ("we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, stores, and protects your information when you use our website at wowhow.cloud (the "Site") and our digital products marketplace, developer tools, and related services (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing or using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described in this digital products privacy policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to deliver a secure, reliable experience. Here is what we gather and why.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following clearly defined purposes:

• Order fulfillment — To process purchases, deliver digital products and developer tools, issue download links, and manage your account
• Communication — To send order confirmations, respond to support inquiries, notify you of account changes, and provide product updates
• Marketing (opt-in only) — To send product announcements, exclusive offers, and curated content, but only when you have explicitly opted in to receive such messages
• Platform improvement — To analyse usage patterns, measure feature adoption, and improve the functionality, performance, and user experience of our Site and Services
• Security and fraud prevention — To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent transactions, abuse, and technical vulnerabilities that could compromise data protection
• Legal compliance — To comply with applicable legal obligations, enforce our Terms of Service, and respond to lawful requests from authorities

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to make the Site work properly, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with our platform. Below is a breakdown of the types of cookies we use.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent you from using certain features of the Site, including purchasing products.

4. Third-Party Services

We partner with trusted third-party providers to deliver specific parts of our Services. These providers access your personal information only to perform tasks on our behalf and are contractually obligated to protect your data.

5. Data Security

Protecting your data is central to how we build and operate WOWHOW. We implement multiple layers of security to safeguard your personal information:

• Encryption in transit — All data exchanged between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS/SSL protocols (TLS 1.2 or higher)
• Encryption at rest — Sensitive data stored in our databases is encrypted using industry-standard AES-256 encryption
• Access controls — Access to personal data is restricted to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis, with role-based permissions and audit logging
• Regular assessments — We conduct periodic security reviews and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential risks

While we take data protection seriously and implement commercially reasonable safeguards, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to promptly addressing any incidents that may arise.

6. Your Rights

We believe you should have meaningful control over your personal information. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may exercise the following rights:

• Right of Access — Request a complete copy of the personal information we hold about you, delivered in a readable format
• Right to Rectification — Request correction of any inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete personal information in our records
• Right to Erasure — Request deletion of your personal information, subject to any legal retention obligations we may have
• Right to Restriction — Request that we temporarily or permanently stop processing your personal information under certain circumstances
• Right to Data Portability — Request a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format so you can transfer it to another service
• Right to Object — Object to the processing of your personal information for direct marketing or profiling purposes at any time

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will acknowledge your request within 48 hours and respond substantively within 30 days, in accordance with applicable data protection laws. We will never charge a fee for processing legitimate rights requests.

7. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) grant you specific rights regarding your personal information. Subject to certain exceptions, you have the right to:

• Right to Know — Request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the sources of that information, the purposes for collecting it, and the third parties with whom it is shared
• Right to Delete — Request deletion of personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain legal exceptions
• Right to Correct — Request correction of inaccurate personal information we maintain about you
• Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing — Direct us to stop the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information. We do not sell personal information for money. However, we share data with Google AdSense for personalized advertising, which may be considered "sharing" under the CCPA/CPRA
• Right to Non-Discrimination — Receive equal service and pricing, even if you exercise your privacy rights

To exercise any of these rights, including the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" right, email [email protected] with the subject line "CCPA Request". We also honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal — when your browser sends a GPC opt-out signal, we treat it as a valid opt-out of sale and sharing for the device and browser session.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this WOWHOW privacy policy. Our retention practices are guided by the following principles:

9. Children's Privacy

WOWHOW is a platform designed for professionals, developers, and creators. Our Services are intended exclusively for individuals who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect, store, or process personal information from anyone under 18. In addition, WOWHOW is not directed to children under the age of 13. In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will promptly investigate and delete any such data from our systems.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you via email or a prominent notice on the Site. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the Services after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
