Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

1. Overview

Intiwave Inc. ("Intiwave", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website (intiwave.com), use our mobile application, or interact with our products and services. This Policy applies to all users worldwide and addresses specific regulatory requirements including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA (CCPA), the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), and other applicable data protection laws.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information: **Account Information**: Email address (or alias), password hash, and optional display name when you create an account. We do not require your real name. **Waitlist & Newsletter Email**: Your email address when you join our launch waitlist, subscribe to our newsletter, request a referral link, apply to our partner programme, or ask to be notified when in-app subscriptions open. You do not need an account to do any of these. Alongside the address we record the language and country your request came from, which page or app screen you signed up on, the wording of the notice shown to you when you submitted it, and the date and time. If you reached us through a partner's referral link or an advertisement, we also record which one — a referral code, or a short campaign label such as "instagram" — so that we know which channels reach people and can credit the partner who referred you. Nothing about how you use the app or the device is part of this; see our Cookie Policy for how that label is stored and how to prevent it. Partner applications also include the name, website, and description you type into that form. We use all of this only to tell you when we launch and to send the updates you asked for. **Purchase Information**: Shipping address, phone number, and order details when you make a purchase. Payment card details are processed exclusively by our third-party payment processors and are never stored on our servers. **Usage Data**: Aggregated, non-identifying information about how you interact with our app and website, including content category preferences, session frequency, and feature usage. **Device & Connection Data**: Device type, operating system version, Bluetooth connection status, and hardware pairing tokens when using our products. Bluetooth data is used solely for device communication and is not transmitted to our servers. **Analytics Data**: Anonymized, aggregated usage patterns collected to improve product quality and performance.

3. Sensitive Personal Information

**Important Notice**: Given the nature of our products, certain usage data — such as device activation frequency, session duration, and content category preferences — may be considered data concerning your "sex life" under the GDPR (Article 9), "sensitive personal information" under the CCPA/CPRA, or "reproductive and sexual health data" under the VCDPA. **How we handle this data**: • **Local-first processing**: All sensory interaction data (haptic computations, audio synchronization, real-time device control) is processed entirely on your device. This data never leaves your phone. • **Minimal collection**: We collect only aggregated usage metrics (e.g., "3 sessions this week, average 12 minutes") for product improvement. We do not collect or store the specific content you engage with, device intensity settings, or real-time interaction patterns. • **Explicit consent**: Before collecting any usage analytics, we request your explicit, informed consent through a clear in-app prompt. You may withdraw consent at any time through Settings → Privacy → Data Preferences. • **No profiling**: We do not use sensitive data to build behavioral profiles, serve targeted advertising, or make automated decisions about you.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to: • Provide, operate, and maintain our products and services • Process transactions and send order-related communications • Send promotional communications (only with your opt-in consent) • Improve and personalize your experience through anonymized analytics • Generate content recommendations (processed on-device using local models) • Comply with legal obligations • Protect against fraudulent or unauthorized activity • Respond to your support requests

5. Data Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We will never sell data concerning your sex life or sexual health. We may share limited information with: • **Payment processors** (e.g., CCBill, Apple, Google) — to process transactions. They receive only the data necessary to complete your purchase. • **Email service provider** — we use Klaviyo, Inc. (United States) to hold our waitlist and newsletter list and to send those emails. Klaviyo receives your email address and the signup details listed under "Waitlist & Newsletter Email" in Section 2. Klaviyo processes this data on our instructions only and does not use it for its own purposes. • **Shipping partners** — name and address only, to deliver hardware orders. Shipments use discreet packaging with no product descriptions visible. • **Infrastructure providers** — encrypted data hosted on servers with SOC 2 Type II certification. • **Legal authorities** — only when required by law, court order, or to protect vital interests. **Where this data goes**: Our email service provider stores its data in the United States, so if you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, joining the waitlist or the newsletter means your email address is transferred outside your country. That transfer relies on the safeguards described in Section 13. Some of our other providers are also outside the EEA; the same safeguards apply. All third-party service providers are bound by Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) and are prohibited from using your data for their own purposes.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-leading security measures: • **In transit**: TLS 1.3 for all web and API communications • **At rest**: AES-256-GCM encryption for server-side data storage • **Bluetooth**: Encrypted BLE connections using Secure Connections (LE Secure Connections with AES-CCM) • **Client-side**: Sensitive tokens stored in iOS Keychain / Android Keystore • **Authentication**: bcrypt password hashing, optional two-factor authentication • **Infrastructure**: Regular third-party security audits and a vulnerability disclosure program No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. If you become aware of any security incident, please contact security@intiwave.com immediately.

7. Data Retention

We retain your data only as long as necessary: • **Account data**: Retained while your account is active; deleted within 30 days of account deletion request. • **Purchase records**: Retained for 7 years for tax and legal compliance. • **Usage analytics**: Aggregated data retained for 24 months, then permanently anonymized. • **Support communications**: Retained for 3 years after resolution. • **Marketing consent records**: Retained for the duration of consent plus 3 years. • **Waitlist & newsletter entries**: Retained until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete the entry, and in any case no longer than 24 months after your most recent interaction with us if by then you have not created an account or placed an order. You may request earlier deletion at any time (see "Your Rights" below). For a waitlist or newsletter entry you do not need an account: email privacy@intiwave.com from the address you signed up with, or use the unsubscribe link in any email we send you.
