Privacy Policy

1. Scope and Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Wvve (“Wvve,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use our websites, applications, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). By using the Services, you acknowledge this Policy and our Terms.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

Depending on how you use Wvve, we may collect your name, email address, account details, support communications, saved preferences, favorites, and travel interests you choose to provide.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

We and our service providers may automatically collect technical and usage information such as browser type, device characteristics, IP address, referring URLs, page interactions, timestamps, and similar diagnostics.

2.3 Affiliate and Referral Interaction Data

When you interact with sponsored placements or outbound partner links, we may record referral metadata (for example: ad placement, destination context, partner name, timestamp, and outbound URL) so affiliate networks can attribute eligible commissions.

3. How We Use Information

• Provide, maintain, secure, and improve Wvve
• Personalize results and surface relevant cruises or related offers
• Operate accounts, settings, customer support, and troubleshooting
• Measure site usage and product performance
• Support affiliate attribution, reporting, and fraud prevention
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms

4. Cookies, Local Storage, and Similar Technologies

Wvve uses cookies and local storage for essential functionality and, with your permission, optional analytics and affiliate attribution.

• Essential: Required for core features like authentication, security, and site reliability.
• Functional: Stores settings such as theme and similar preferences.
• Analytics (optional): Helps us understand usage trends and improve the product.
• Affiliate attribution (optional): Enables referral interaction tracking tied to sponsored links.

You can manage non-essential categories from the cookie banner and by reopening “Cookie settings” in the app. Essential technologies remain active because they are required for operation.

5. Affiliate Marketing and Sponsored Referrals

Wvve may participate in affiliate programs, including CJ.com (CJ Affiliate) and other partners. We may earn commissions when users click eligible links or complete transactions with partner sites. Referral and placement decisions may be informed by on-site browsing behavior, search activity, and selected destinations.

6. How We Share Information

We may share information with service providers, analytics vendors, affiliate partners or networks, legal authorities where required, and in connection with business transfers. We do not directly sell personal data for money. However, under some US state privacy laws, sharing data for cross-context advertising or affiliate attribution may be considered “sharing” or a “sale.”

7. Data Retention and Security

We retain information for as long as needed to provide the Services, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no system is guaranteed to be completely secure.

8. US Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on your state, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or portability of personal information, and to opt out of certain targeted advertising or sharing practices. You may also manage non-essential cookie categories through our cookie controls.

9. Third-Party Sites and Services

Wvve may contain links to third-party booking platforms and partner properties. Their privacy practices and terms are governed by their own policies, not this Policy.

10. Children’s Privacy

Wvve is not intended for individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically. Changes will be posted here with an updated “Last updated” date.
