Privacy policy

At Wearpulse. we respect your privacy and treat your information with the utmost care. We value the trust you have placed in us. You have choices when it comes to the technology you use and the information you share. When we ask you to provide personal information, you may decline.

 This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information about you and the child under your care through our websites, mobile applications, products, customer support and other services (collectively referred to as “Product” or “Products”), as well as any other third party services or products that link to this Privacy Policy.

 By agreeing to this Privacy Policy in your account setup or by using our Products, or any other third party services or products that link to this Privacy Policy, you consent to the processing of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

You understand that in order to use certain Product features, you will be required to provide us with personal information about yourself and the child under your care such as the date of birth, pregnancy information, and health history and with permission to collect similar personal information from our Products.

If you choose not to provide the information necessary to offer you a Product or feature, you cannot use that Product or feature and we may have to suspend or cancel it. Likewise, where we need personal information to enter into or carry out a contract with you, and you do not provide the information, we will not be able to enter into the contract or perform under the contract. We will notify you if this is the case at the time. Where providing the information is optional, and you choose not to share personal information, features like personalization that use such information will not work for you.

HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION

We rely on a variety of legal reasons and permissions (“legal bases”) to collect and process information. The legal bases under which we collect and process information include consent, the performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations and our legitimate interests.

Information You Provide

We collect the information when you use the Products. Some examples are:

  • Registration for Marketing. When you register for giveaways, promotions or for additional information via our website or some other means, we require that you provide information such as your email, shipping address, phone, contact name, and billing address.

 However, you are not required to receive marketing or promotional materials to use our Products. You can opt out of receiving marketing or promotional materials at any time as explained below. However, by purchasing one of our Products and providing an email address, you will still receive transaction emails including purchase confirmation and shipping information and Product specific outreach emails such as recalls, service outages, and educational materials. 

  • Product Registration. Our Products require that you provide information regarding the child under your care such as name, due date, gender, birth date and weight. You may also elect to provide us additional information regarding certain conditions (such as whether the child spent any time in an intensive care unit), birth weight and body measurements and ethnicity. To personalize the application, you may upload a photo of your choice. We also require that the registering user provide us their name and information about the child's mother such as the mother's date of birth. You may also elect to provide us with information regarding the related pregnancy and the mother's maternal history. If you are not the mother, you may not provide information about the mother without the mother’s consent. 
  • Communications and Other Interactions. When you contact us directly, you provide us with information that may contain personal information. For example, when you email our customer support team or sign up to receive updates regarding new Products, you provide us with your email address, the contents of a message or attachments that you send to us, and any other information you choose to provide. 
  • Payments. When you purchase one of our Products, you provide your payment information, (your credit card number, billing and shipping address, phone number, email address, and contact name) so we and our payment service providers can process your payment. 

Information We Collect When You Use Our Products

We collect certain personal information and other technical data from your computer or mobile device when you use our Products such as:
