7. SHARING OF COLLECTED INFORMATION
We do not rent or sell your Personal Data, including images, audio and videos, to any third parties outside the Company or its Affiliates (as defined below).
Parties with whom we may share your Personal Data:
We may share your Personal Data with businesses that are legally part of the same group of companies that we are part of, including our subsidiaries (“Affiliates”). The Affiliates act as our data processors and may perform data processing on our behalf (e.g., providing technical support or conducting analytics). Such Affiliates are bound by appropriate contractual safeguards in place. We also may share your Personal Data, and other collected information with third-party organizations such as contractors and service providers that we use to support our business and who are bound by confidentiality and data protection terms (consistent with this Privacy Policy) to keep your Personal Data confidential and use it only based on our instructions (“Service Providers”).
Such Service Providers include:
- cloud provider Google Cloud Platform, which we use when you choose to upload your images or audio to WZRD;
- third-party analytics, as specified in this Privacy Policy;
- email delivery services; and
- Third-party advertising partners, for which you can opt out. Upon your consent, we send some of your Personal Data (e.g., your device information and details about your purchases) for marketing and promotional purposes to our advertising partners (e.g. Google). By these means, we are able to reach you and people like you on various platforms.
For the avoidance of doubt, the only purpose of storing your images, videos, and audio is to generate WZRD videos. This data is used for no other purpose, and is only shared with the third parties that offer us secure storage solutions such as Google Cloud Platform, of which we rent storage and servers in Europe and the United States of America.
What happens in the event of a change of control: If we sell or otherwise transfer part or the whole of the Company or our assets to another organization (e.g., in the course of a transaction like a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation), your Personal Data and any other collected information may be among the items sold or transferred.
Responding to legal requests and preventing harm: We may access, preserve and share your information in response to a legal (like a search warrant, court order or subpoena), government or regulatory request if we have a good faith belief that the law requires us to do so. This may include responding to legal, government or regulatory requests from jurisdictions where we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law in that jurisdiction, affects users in that jurisdiction, and is consistent with internationally recognized standards. We may also access, preserve and share information when we have a good faith belief it is necessary to: (i) detect, prevent and address fraud and other illegal activity; (ii) protect ourselves, you and others, including as part of investigations; and (iii) prevent death or imminent bodily harm. Information we receive about you may be accessed, processed and retained for an extended period of time when it is the subject of a legal request or obligation, governmental investigation, or investigations concerning possible violations of our terms or policies, or otherwise to prevent harm.
8. DATA SECURITY
We use reasonable and appropriate information security safeguards to help keep the collected information secure and to secure it from accidental loss and unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your collected information, we cannot guarantee the security of the collected information transmitted to or through WZRD or an absolute guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. Any transmission of your collected information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for the circumvention of security measures contained in WZRD. Please understand that there is no ideal technology or measure to maintain 100% security. Among others, we utilize the following information security measures:
- Encryption of your Personal Data in transit and in rest.
- All collected information is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls.
- Organizational and legal measures. For example, our employees and employees of our subsidiaries have different levels of access to your Personal Data and only those in charge of data management get access to your Personal Data and only for limited purposes required for the operation of WZRD. We impose strict liability on such employees for any disclosures, unauthorized accesses, alterations, destructions and misuse of your Personal Data.
- Conducting periodical data protection impact assessments in order to ensure that the Company fully adheres to the principles of “privacy by design”, “privacy by default” and others. We also commit to undertake a privacy audit in case of the Company's merger or takeover.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Your privacy settings may also be affected by changes to the social media services, through which you may share your images, videos and audio. We are not responsible for the functionality, privacy, or security measures of any other organization.
Security breaches: If we learn of a security systems breach, we may either post a notice, or attempt to notify you by email (if it was provided) and will take reasonable steps to remedy the breach as specified in applicable law and this Privacy Policy. If we learn of a potential Personal Data breach, together with other actions referred to in the Privacy Policy, we will also undertake particular actions to remedy the breach as appropriate under the circumstances, which may include, logging you out from all the devices, resetting a password (sending a temporary password for you to apply) and performing other reasonably necessary activities and actions.
If you want to report a security incident related to WZRD, please contact us at https://wzrd.ai/contact/.
Contacting you: If you are using WZRD you may receive electronic communications from us (e.g., by posting notices in WZRD, push notifications or emails). These communications may include notices about WZRD or its subscriptions: e.g., changes/updates to features of WZRD and their scope, prices of subscriptions, technical and security notices, as well as updates to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use. Upon your consent, we will also share with you our marketing materials about new products, features or offers from WZRD and its affiliates.

We may also guarantee the protection of your personal data by relying on adequacy decisions adopted or approved by the authorities in the United Kingdom.

14. CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY
The date this Privacy Policy was last revised is indicated at the top of the page. WZRD may modify or update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Some changes do not require your consent: for example, when we add a new purpose of processing that is compatible with the existing purposes, or the new processing activity that falls under the users’ reasonable expectation. However, if the changes made may pose risk to your rights and freedoms (e.g., by including a new purpose of the processing that is not compatible with the existing purposes of processing, a new legal basis, a new category of personal data to be collected or a new data subject, all of which are not reasonably expected by the users, we will ask for your consent to those changes separately from this Policy. If you did not receive a request for your consent to the changes or refused to give consent, those changes will not apply to you. That fact can negatively affect some of WZRD’s services provided to you in case those services inevitably include consent to the changes.
