We take the privacy of our users very seriously. We do not sell your personal data, neither your email address, nor any personal information on how you use Weava to external parties. We also do not record users’ browsing history, except for the pages you specifically highlight/annotate/bookmark to our servers.

2. CHILDREN

Children under the age of 13 are not allowed to enjoy Weava’s services. For children under 13, in the future, Weava will offer a limited feature set and website experience. If we receive any reports from the user or from user’s teacher that the user is under the age of 13, we will terminate the service now and in the future may offer a limited version of the website that removes social features such as a public profile if we plan to implement a public profile in the future.

To use the Weava service, an email address, username and password are required. That’s it. We use personally identifiable information to deliver the Service, to comply with reasonable requests of law enforcement and recommend additional content to you.

We collect information that can be used to identify you as an individual (“Personally Identifiable Information”) only when you provide such information directly to us in connection with the Service. We ask for Personally Identifiable Information such as your name and e-mail address when you register for the Service, or if you correspond with us (in which case we will also retain our responses). We use reasonable measures to protect member information that is stored within our database, and we restrict access to member information to those employees who need access to perform their job functions, such as our customer service and technical staff.

These tools collect information sent by your application as part of a page request and other information that assists us in improving the Service. We collect and use this analytics information in aggregate form such that it cannot reasonably be manipulated to identify any particular individual user.

Weava may provide a referral service that allows you to invite your friends and contacts to use Weava. We may integrate the Platform with third party sites such as Facebook, so that you can send invitation messages or requests for references via the third party site itself. You may also send invitation/request emails via the Platform itself, in which case we will ask you for the contact information to which to send your invitation/request. You can type in the email addresses or other contact information manually, or you can choose to import the contacts in your address book(s). In both cases, we may use and store this information for the sole purposes of allowing you to send your friends and contacts an invitation or request for a reference, and for fraud detection and prevention.
