We’re committed to explaining how we handle, process and store your data without any jargon. That’s why we’ve written a summary in simple English of how we keep your data private, how we process and where we store it. But, to keep our lawyers happy, there’s also a full version of it underneath, too. If you have any questions about Wathe’s handling of your data, you can get in touch at info@wathe.io.
Okay, so for all you privacy experts out there, here’s a fuller version of our Privacy Policy.
Wathe, the trading name of Wathe Technology Services Ltd, a company incorporated in England and Wales (Company number 1293113) and whose registered address is 67 Cressy Houses, London, E1 3JF (referred to herein as “we”, “us” or “our”, as the context requires) is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.
This policy (together with our Terms of Service) set out the basis on which any data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. For the purpose of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable UK laws, we are the data controller and processor where you are using the Wathe App.
Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your data and how we will treat it.
Wathe is a business analysis app and, as such, we consider any data uploaded into the app, processed by the app, analysed by the app, outputted by the app and/or stored in the app to be business-related data and not personally identifiable information (PII). Any data connected to a private individual during account creation and/or user management is considered business data in-line with allowing a user to use the Wathe app on behalf of an account. For clarification an account on Wathe is a business. An account may have many users who use Wathe daily.
Wathe processes your data for the purpose of performing the contract that you have entered into for the use of the Wathe service, and/or in order to take steps at your request to enter into this contract. These are detailed in the Terms of Service but, broadly speaking, we process your data so that we can perform business analytics on it to provide actionable insights and recommendations.
In addition, some data is processed based on Wathe’s legitimate interest, notably website/App analytics for the purposes of enhancing performance, account activity, device and/or user identifiers (e.g. IMEI), website logs etc. to prevent fraudulent or other malicious activities, website visitor logs for cybersecurity and/or error tracking purposes.
