Privacy Policy — Next Wave Apps

This Privacy Policy explains what information Next Wave Apps ("we", "us", or "our") collects, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

Account data

When you create an account, we collect your email address and basic account settings. We use this to authenticate you, provide the Service, and send important service messages.

Payment data

Payments are processed by Paddle.com Market Ltd ("Paddle"), acting as the Merchant of Record. Paddle collects the payment details you enter (such as card information and billing address). We never store your full card details. We receive limited information from Paddle — such as your subscription plan, order ID, country, and the last few digits or card brand — to manage your subscription and comply with tax and accounting obligations. Paddle's handling of your data is governed by Paddle's own privacy policy.

Analytics & usage data

We use analytics tools to understand how the Service is used, to diagnose issues, and to improve features. This may include device type, browser, pages viewed, approximate location (from IP), and interaction events. Where required by law, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential analytics cookies.

2. How We Use Information

To provide, maintain, and improve the Service;
To process subscriptions and payments (via Paddle);
To communicate with you about your account, updates, and support;
To detect, prevent, and address fraud and abuse;
To comply with legal obligations.

3. Sharing

We share information with service providers who help us operate the Service, including Paddle (payments and tax) and analytics providers. We do not sell your personal information.

4. Data Retention

We retain account data for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period after, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

5. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at support@mynextwave.app.

6. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

7. Children

The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the age required by your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

8. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the Service or by email.
