Privacy Policy

Privacy information:

This Privacy Policy explains the information that The Wingmate Group Corporation aka Wingmate (“we”, “us”, “our”, or “Wingmate”) collects about users of the Wingmate mobile application, website located at www.wingmate.social, and related services (collectively, the “Services”), how we use that information, and with whom we share it. If we make any material changes to our privacy policy, we will post a revised Privacy Policy on www.wingmate.social/privacy and on the privacy policy page within the Wingmate mobile application. We will also update the “Last Revised” date at the top of the Privacy Policy. Changes to the Privacy Policy become effective the day they are posted on www.wingmate.social and/or posted within the Wingmate mobile application, and that will constitute notification to users. Updates and changes may be made to the privacy policy when new versions of the app are released (i.e. Wingmate version 1.1, 1.2, etc.). If you do not agree to any change(s) in the way Wingmate treats your personal information after receiving a notice of such change(s), you shall stop using the Services, including the website and the mobile application. Otherwise, your continued use of the website, the application and/or services constitutes your acceptance of such change(s).

PLEASE REGULARLY CHECK THE WEBSITE AND/OR MOBILE APPLICATION TO VIEW THE THEN-CURRENT PRIVACY POLICY.

If you have any questions, please contact us by sending an email to support@wingmate.social

Information we collect:

When you use the Wingmate mobile application, or visit www.wingmate.social, we automatically collect and store information about your computer or mobile device and your activities. This information may include:

Your mobile device’s unique ID number;

Your mobile device’s geographic location while the app is actively running;

Your computer’s IP address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session);

Technical information about your computer or mobile device (such as type of device, web browser or operating system);

Your preferences and settings (time zone, language, privacy preferences, product preferences, etc.);

The buttons, controls and ads you clicked on (if any);

How long you used the Wingmate mobile application or visited www.wingmate.social, and which services and features you used; and

The online or offline status of your Wingmate account.

Information you choose to provide:

In order to access certain features of the Services, you may be required to register an account with Wingmate. To register, you will be asked to sign in using your cell phone number along with providing your email address. By signing up for Wingmate, you understand that we will have access to your name, email address, location, contact book and / or individual contacts (i.e. Wingmates), profile pictures and photographs you have uploaded or in which you have been tagged, as well as the names of your wingmates. By registering, you are certifying that all information you provide to us during the registration process is accurate.

Whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information on publicly viewable screens or pages, that information will be publicly available and can be stored and used by others. Wingmate cannot control, and is not liable for whoever reads your posting or what other users may do with the information you voluntarily post, so we encourage you to exercise discretion and caution with respect to your personal information.

You may also voluntarily provide information about yourself in your Wingmate profile. Certain portions of the information you provide to us will be displayed in your profile. Once displayed on publicly viewable mobile and / or web pages, that information can be collected and used by others. We cannot control who reads your posts or profile or what other users may do with the information that you voluntarily post, so it is very important that you do not put sensitive personal information in your posts. Once you have posted information publicly, while you will still be able to edit and delete it on the Services, you will not be able to edit or delete such information cached, collected, and stored elsewhere by others (e.g., search engines).

If you agree to share your location with us (e.g., via the location settings on your mobile device), we may (with your permission) display your approximate location with your image, and we may store and use that information to provide you with location-based information and features.

When you order certain Services from us, we will collect all information necessary to complete the transaction, which, depending on the Services ordered, may include your name, credit card information, billing information and shipping information.

If you provide us feedback or contact us electronically, we will collect your name and contact information, as well as any other content included in the communication, in order to send you a reply.

How we use your information:

We use the information we collect to facilitate the creation of and secure your account on our network, send you administrative e-mail notifications, such as security or support and maintenance advisories, improve our services, make special offers to certain users, send newsletters, surveys, offers, and other promotional materials related to our Services and for other marketing purposes, customize services for our users, better understand our users, improve our algorithms, as well as diagnose and fix problems.

Certain metadata about our users may be used to inform internal company decisions related to advertising, as well as disclosed to the media and other promotional materials using anonymized data.

We may create anonymous data records from personal information you provide to us by excluding information (such as your name) that makes the data personally identifiable to you. We use this anonymous data to analyze usage patterns so that we may enhance the content and navigation of our Services. We reserve the right to use anonymous for any purpose and disclose anonymous data to third parties in our sole discretion.

We have the right, but not obligation, to retain any such data or information you provide us in perpetuity.

Geo-location-information:

While the Wingmate application is in use, we keep track of your device’s geographic location so that we can connect you to other Wingmate users based on your particular geographic location. The Wingmate application does not track your location when you are not using the app.

Use of your information by others:
