WADeck Private Policy

Website Visitors

We take your privacy very seriously.

Like most website operators, WADeck collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. WADeck’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how WADeck’s visitors use its website. From time to time, WADeck may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

WADeck also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blog. WADeck only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Personal information we collect

● Contact Data, such as your salutation, email address, and phone number.
● Profile data, such as the username and password that you may set to establish an online account on the Service, photograph, preferences, and any other information that you add to your account profile.
● Marketing data, such as your preferences for receiving our marketing communications and details about your engagement with them.
● Device data, such as your browser type, browser language, browser version, and IP address.
● Online activity data:  WADeck may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website. 
● Other data not specifically listed here, which we will use as described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise disclosed at the time of collection. Chrome store extension codes are reviewed manually by the Google team, if an extension is dangerous to user privacy, or goes against the terms of use, they would take it down immediately.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to WADeck’s Website choose to interact with WADeck in ways that require WADeck to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that WADeck gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. Those who engage in transactions with WADeck are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, WADeck collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with WADeck. WADeck does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
