What we store, and what for
- Your account: the address you sign up with, your name, and a photo if you add one. It is what signs you in and what other members see.
- What you do in the app: the plans you create and join, and what you share at them. It is there so the people who were with you can find it.
- If friends keep your animal while you are away, or you keep theirs: a stretch's rows go a month after it ends (if somebody still has your key by then, once it is back), keeping only who has kept the animal for whom, and each stay in the animal's story, with its dates, who kept him and its photos. Those are kept until removed: the owners may remove any photo, whoever took one may remove it, and removing the animal from your den takes his story. Deleting your account takes every photo you took.
- If you set a home area, it is what puts the events near you first.
- If you talk to the assistant: your conversations, kept until you delete them, or a year after their last message, and what it remembers about you, which you can read, delete or switch off in the app's Settings, under Memory & Privacy. If you tell it about an injury, it keeps that too, so as not to suggest what the injury rules out, until you delete it.
- What you tell us through the feedback form, so we can act on it. If you send something good and say we may show it, we may quote it on this site, word for word, with your first name and photo, your first name, or no name, as you chose. Take it down yourself under Send feedback in the app, and it is gone within a minute, or ask us to. If you signed up with Google and chose your photo, we keep a copy of that picture as your profile picture, so this site does not load it from Google.
- If you join the waiting list: your address, and the town and activities you chose to add. The town tells us where the pack is biggest, the activities tell us what people there are hoping to find, and both become yours to edit the day you have an account. If you joined it from the page for people with gear to lend, we note that too, so the first thing we ask when you come in is what you have to lend.
We keep it while you have an account, and the waiting list until Wolvera opens where you are or you ask us to drop you from it.
What we never do
- Nothing about you is sold, and no profile of you is built or consulted to decide what you are shown. Anything we ever put in front of you follows the event, never you.
- No third party analytics or advertising tools in the app. Our build fails if one gets in.
Who else it reaches
Wolvera is built and hosted in Europe, on OVH Cloud. Our email goes out
through Brevo, and every email we send carries an unsubscribe link that
works in one click.
Mistral AI, in Paris, runs the models behind the assistant and a few other
things, and receives what each one needs to give its answer:
- What you say or show the assistant, or give Say it to fill a plan in from. To answer you, the assistant also sends what you could read in the app yourself: your plans, your profile and what it remembers about you, and of the people in your pack, their names, what you have done together, and what they let the pack see. When you ask it to catch you up, it sends the messages you have not read yet.
- Your voice, when you speak instead of typing (to the assistant or Say it, in the feedback form, or to have a voice note you are about to send turned into words), to be turned into words. We keep none of those recordings, only what you then choose to send.
- A message you ask to have translated.
- A small copy of a photo in a howl, the first time somebody who turned on Describe photos for me sees it without a description, so it can be read aloud to them. The words come back and are kept with the photo; the copy is not kept.
- Plans, the things members lend, and a member's name, bio and sports, so that a search finds what matches it.
If you sign in with Google, Google confirms who you are. Notifications
reach your phone through its own notification service. A map service finds
the places named in a plan, and a weather service gets the area, never who
asked. Each of them works on our behalf and on nothing else.
Your data is yours
In Settings, Get a copy of what's yours makes a copy of it:
your profile, the plans you hosted or went to, your howls and the
photographs you took for them, everything you wrote with the photographs,
clips and voice notes you sent, and your den. It arrives as a link in
your inbox within a few minutes, works for a week, and is one zip file
you can open on any computer, starting from a page that reads like one. Of a conversation, it holds your side only:
what the other person wrote is theirs.
You can change your profile at any time, and delete your account and
everything in it from Settings too. For anything else, to see what else
we hold, or to have something corrected, write to
hello@wolvera.eu.
Who we are
