Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 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.
**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.
• **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.
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.
