TokenWave
Privacy Notice
Effective Date: October 11, 2021
Welcome! We are TokenWave, the developers behind the popular cryptocurrency and NFT tracking app TokenHead. This Privacy Notice explains how TokenWave LLC (“TokenWave”, “we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes personal information (as defined below) in connection with:
- our website www.tokenwave.io, our mobile app TokenHead, and our NFT marketplace Droppp (collectively, our “Platforms”) and the related content, services, products, and other functionality offered on or through the Platforms (the “Platform Services”); and
- our work with brands to release NFTs of all shapes and sizes through our NFT Studio (our “Professional Services”).
This Privacy Notice does not address our privacy practices relating to TokenWave employees and other personnel. In addition, this Privacy Notice is not a contract and does not create any legal rights or obligations.
What is an NFT?
Non-fungible tokens or NFTs are digital tokens that let you easily determine ownership and verify authenticity of unique items. Typically, NFTs are digital trading cards or game items, but can be so much more. NFTs are powered by blockchain technology similar to Bitcoin—meaning a shared digital ledger is used to record NFT transactions and track NFT ownership. Our Platforms primarily leverage WAX, a prominent virtual item blockchain developed specifically for NFTs. Although we don’t own WAX or any other virtual item blockchain, we are able leverage public digital ledgers to provide our Platform Services and help our clients develop their own NFTs through our Professional Services.
What is Personal Information?
In connection with our Platform Services and Professional Services, we collect and process personal information. When we use the term “personal information” in this Privacy Notice, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to an individual. It does not include aggregated or deidentified information that is maintained in a form that is not reasonably capable of being associated with or linked to an individual.
Our Collection of Personal Information
Sometimes we collect personal information automatically when an individual interacts with our Services and sometimes we collect personal information directly from an individual. At times, we may collect personal information about an individual from other sources and third parties, even before our first direct interaction.
Personal Information Collected from Platform Service UsersWe collect the following personal information submitted to us by users of our Platform Services:
- Contact Information, including email address and communication preferences.
- Blockchain Platform Information, including public WAX or other blockchain account name, account picture, balance, NFT collection and value, as well as associated account alias and settings chosen on our Platforms.
- Marketplace Account Information, including first and last name, email address, billing address, shipping address, username and password, cryptocurrency wallet address, keys and related information, account balances, and payment and purchase history information. Please note we utilize a third-party provider to process payments on our behalf and do not accept payment directly through our Platforms.
- Inquiry Information, including information provided in custom messages sent through the forms or contact information provided on our Platforms.
Personal Information Collected from Professional Service ClientsWe collect the following personal information submitted to us by users of our Professional Services:
- Contact Information, including first and last name, email address, mailing address, employer, job title, company name, phone number, and communication preferences.
- Inquiry Information, including information provided in custom messages sent through the forms or contact information provided on our Platforms.
Personal Information Automatically CollectedAs is true of most digital platforms, we and our third-party providers may also collect personal information from an individual’s device, browsing actions and site usage patterns automatically when visiting or interacting with our Platforms, which may include:
- Log Data, such as internet protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser type, browser id, the URL entered and the referring page/campaign, date/time of visit, the time spent on our Platforms, and any errors that may occur during the visit to our Platforms.
- Analytics Data, such as the electronic path taken to our Platforms, through our Platforms and when exiting our Platforms, as well as usage and activity on our Platform.
- Location Data, such as general geographic location based on the log data we or our third-party providers collect.
We and our third-party providers may use (i) cookies or small data files that are stored on an individual’s computer and (ii) other, related technologies, such as web beacons, pixels, embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies, and logging technologies (collectively, “cookies”) to automatically collect this personal information. For example, we use Google Analytics to collect information about the use of our Platforms. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users access the Platforms, what pages they access when they do so and what other sites they used prior to using the Platforms. To learn more about the use of data collection technologies by Google for analytics and to exercise choice regarding those technologies, please visit the Google Analytics Opt-Out browser add-on page available here.
To manage cookies, an individual may change their browser settings to: (i) notify them when they receive a cookie, so the individual can choose whether or not to accept it; (ii) disable existing cookies; or (iii) automatically reject cookies. Please note that doing so may negatively impact an individual’s experience using our Platform, as some features and offerings may not work properly or at all. Depending on an individual’s device and operating system, the individual may not be able to delete or block all cookies. In addition, if an individual wants to reject cookies across all browsers and devices, the individual will need to do so on each browser on each device they actively use. An individual may also set their email options to prevent the automatic downloading of images that may contain technologies that would allow us to know whether they have accessed our email and performed certain functions with it.
Personal Information from Third PartiesWe also obtain personal information from third parties; which we often combine with personal information we collect either automatically or directly from an individual.
We may receive the same categories of personal information as described above from the following third parties:
- Third-Party Wallet Extensions: Cryptocurrency wallets may provide us with your wallet address and certain other information you choose to share with other cryptocurrency wallets.
- Single Sign-On: We allow users to sign on to our platforms through certain third-party accounts the user maintains. When a user uses single sign-on services to access our platform, we do not receive the user’s login credentials for the relevant third-party service. Instead, we receive tokens from the single sign-on service to help identify the user in our system (such as by a user’s username) and confirm the user successfully authenticated with the single sign-on services. This information allows us to more easily provide users access to our platforms.
- Professional Service Clients: When we interact with prospective, current and former Professional Service clients, they may provide us with information about an individual on their team or otherwise connected to the client or their organization.
- Social Media: When an individual interacts with us through various social media networks, such as when someone communicates with us through Twitter, Telegram or Discord, we may receive some information about the individual that they permit the social network to share with third parties. The data we receive is dependent upon an individual’s privacy settings with the social network. Individuals should always review and, if necessary, adjust their privacy settings on third-party websites and social media networks and services before sharing information and/or linking or connecting them to other services.
- Service Providers: Our service providers that perform services solely on our behalf, such as payment processing and marketing providers, collect personal information and often share some or all of this information with us.
- Affiliates. We may receive personal information from other companies owned or controlled by TokenWave, and other companies owning or under common ownership with TokenWave (including Funko, LLC). This includes our subsidiaries (i.e., any organization we own or control) or our ultimate holding company (i.e., any organization that owns or controls us) and any subsidiaries it owns, particularly when we collaborate in providing services.
- Information Providers: We may from time to time obtain information from third-party information providers to correct or supplement personal information we collect. For example, we may obtain updated contact information from third-party information providers to reconnect with an individual.
- Publicly Available Sources: We collect personal information about individuals that we do not otherwise have, such as contact information or an individual’s interest in our services, from publicly available sources. We may combine this information with the information we collect from an individual directly.
