Privacy Policy

Wapow.surf respects your privacy. This policy outlines what data we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it.

Information We Collect

When you use Wapow.surf, we may collect the following information:

• Authentication Data: We use Google Sign-In for authentication. We store your unique user ID, public display name, and avatar URL to facilitate community features.
• Telemetry & Check-ins: When you submit a session rating, we store your selected location, rating, board type, and the timestamp. This data is aggregated to provide live crowd telemetry.
• Live Lineup Chatter: Any messages you post are stored in our database alongside your display name and user ID for accountability and moderation purposes.

How We Use Your Data

The data we collect is used strictly to power the Wapow.surf platform. We use check-in telemetry to calculate real-time crowd consensus and feed our AI predictive models. We do not sell your personal data to third-party advertising brokers.

Location Services

Wapow.surf utilizes location-based features to map surf breaks and regional telemetry. We do not track your device's precise background location continuously. Location context is only utilized when actively interacting with the platform or map interface.

Data Retention & Deletion

Live Lineup chatter is ephemeral by design. We maintain data only as long as necessary to provide accurate forecasting and maintain community safety. You may request account deletion at any time by contacting us.
