uWave builds technologies that enable communities to enjoy services tailored to their needs, fostering discussions and providing general services that bring convenience and improve users’ lives. These Terms govern your use of the uWave platform, provided by Wave Private Limited. (uWave)

Payment and Charges

uWave does not charge regular users for accessing the platform and its general features. However, we do charge community owners for advanced features, tools, and services that help manage and enhance their communities. Community owners have the option to charge their members for access to their communities or specific services within those communities. By using uWave, community owners agree to the terms of payment and fees applicable to their selected services.

We do not charge you to use uWave or the other products and services covered by these Terms unless you are a community owner or are purchasing premium services. Instead, businesses and organizations pay us to show you ads for their products and services. By using our Products, you agree that we can show you ads that we think will be relevant to you and your interests. We use your personal data to help determine which ads to show you.

We do not sell your personal data to advertisers, and we don't share information that directly identifies you (such as your name, email address, or other contact information) with advertisers. Instead, advertisers can tell us the type of audience they want to reach, and we show those ads to people who may be interested in them. We provide advertisers with reports about the performance of their ads to help them understand how people are interacting with their content.

Our Data Policy explains how we collect and use your personal data to determine some of the ads you see and to provide all the other services described below.

1. The Services We Provide

Research to Improve Our Services: We engage in research to develop, test, and improve our Products. This includes analyzing the data we have about our users and understanding how people use our Products. Our Data Policy explains how we use data to support this research for the purpose of developing and improving our services.

2. How Our Services Are Funded

Instead of paying to use uWave, by using uWave Products covered by these Terms, you agree that we can show you ads that businesses and organizations pay us to promote. We use your personal data, such as information about your activity and interests, to show you ads that are more relevant to you.

Data Sharing with Partners: We may share your personal data with trusted partners to enhance your experience, deliver personalized services, or for marketing purposes. These partners are bound by confidentiality agreements and are only permitted to use your data in accordance with our instructions.

Data Sharing for Service Provision: To operate the platform or provide services, we may share your data with third-party service providers who assist us in our operations. These entities are required to comply with strict data protection standards.

Transparency and Data Usage: We use your data to personalize the ads you see and provide relevant content. We do not sell your personal data to advertisers, and we do not share information that directly identifies you with them. We provide advertisers with reports about the performance of their ads to help them understand how people are interacting with their content.
