- Contact Information: Contact information added by accounts and/or their users to create contact lists on Wavie products and services, which may include contact information a user integrates from a third-party app or provided by users to process referral invitations.

- Device Information: Information about the computers, phones, and other devices used when interacting with Wavie products and services, which may include information about the speakers, microphone, camera, OS version, hard disk ID, PC name, MAC address, IP address (which may be used to infer general location at a city or country level), device attributes (like operating system version and battery level), WiFi information, and other device information (like Bluetooth signals).
- Content and Context from Webinars, Messaging, and Other Collaborative Features: Content generated in webinars, or messages that are hosted on Wavie products and services, which may include audio, video, chat messaging content, transcriptions, transcript edits and recommendations, written feedback, responses to polls and Q&A, and files, as well as related context, such as invitation details, chat name. Content may contain your voice and image, depending on the account owner’s settings, what you choose to share, your settings, and what you do on Wavie products and services.
- Usage Information Regarding Webinars, Messaging, Collaborative Features and the Website: Information about how people and their devices interact with Wavie products and services, such as: when participants join and leave a space; whether participants sent messages and who they message with; performance data; mouse movements, clicks, keystrokes or actions (such as mute/unmute or video on/off), edits to transcript text, where authorized by the account owner and other inputs that help Wavie to understand feature usage, improve product design, and suggest features; which third-party apps are added to a product or service and what information and actions the app is authorized to access and perform; use of third-party apps and the Wavie App Marketplace; features used (such as screen sharing, emojis, or filters); and other usage information and metrics. This also includes information about when and how people visit and interact with Wavie’s websites, including what pages are accessed, interaction with website features, and whether or not the person signed up for a Wavie product or service.
- Limited Information from Wavie Email and Calendar Services: “Wavie Email” refers to Wavie’s native email service and emails sent from Wavie’s native email service. Wavie Email is designed to be end-to-end encrypted by Wavie by default for emails sent and received directly between active Wavie Email users. Support for end-to-end encryption requires Wavie Email users to have added a device to their Wavie Email account with the associated email address and to use a supported Wavie client. When an email is end-to-end encrypted, only the users, and, depending on their settings, account owners, or designated account administrators control the encryption key and therefore access to the email content, including body text, subject line, attachments, and custom labels applied to messages by users in their inboxes. Emails sent to or received from non-Wavie Email users are encrypted after the email is sent or received from Wavie’s servers if the Wavie Email user chooses to send them with encryption. In all cases, Wavie does have access to email metadata used for basic email delivery—specifically, email addresses in the from, to, cc, and bcc fields, time, mimeID, and the number and size of attachments. From use of Wavie’s native calendar service, Wavie receives information regarding messaging invitations, body text, sender and recipients, and other calendar information.
- Content from Third-Party Integrations: Users can access email and calendars from third-party services through their Wavie client if they choose to integrate them. This information is not end-to-end encrypted by Wavie, but Wavie employees do not access this content unless directed to or required for legal, safety, or security reasons. If account owners and/or their users integrate their third-party emails with products and services offered or powered by Wavie, Wavie may collect or process email information, including email content, headers and metadata, from such third-party services in order to provide services requested by the account and to improve the product.
- Communications with Wavie: Information about your communications with Wavie, including relating to support questions, your account, and other inquiries.
- Information from Partners: Wavie obtains information about account owners and their users from third-party companies, such as market data enrichment services, including information about an account owner’s company size or industry, contact information, or activity of certain enterprise domains. Wavie may also obtain information from third-party advertising partners who deliver ads displayed on Wavie products and services, such as whether you clicked on an ad they showed you.
In certain jurisdictions, some of the personal data Wavie receives may be considered sensitive. Please see “California & Other Other U.S. State Privacy Rights” for more information.
