Privacy information that matches the product and the actual site behavior
This policy explains what personal information Wodby collects, why we collect it, when Wodby acts as controller or processor, how transfers are handled, and the choices available to customers, prospects, and website visitors.
Who we are and scope of this policy
This policy explains how Wodby handles personal information for website visitors, leads, account users, and support contacts.
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected by Wodby Inc. through the Wodby website, customer accounts, platform interfaces, support channels, sales conversations, and other interactions that link to or reference this policy.
For questions or requests about this policy, contact [email protected]. If applicable law gives you the right to complain to a data protection authority or other regulator, you may do so.
Wodby roles: controller and processor
Wodby acts in different legal roles depending on the context.
Wodby generally acts as controller for personal information used to run our website, marketing, account administration, billing, security, and customer relationship management.
When Wodby processes personal data contained in a customer's applications, databases, backups, imports, logs, or hosted workloads on behalf of that customer, Wodby generally acts as a processor or service provider and processes that data according to the customer's instructions and the Data Processing Agreement.
Information we collect and where it comes from
We collect information directly from you, from your use of the services, from connected infrastructure, and from business or technical partners.
Depending on how you interact with Wodby, we may collect:
- Identity and contact details such as name, company, email address, job title, billing contacts, and support contacts.
- Account, subscription, and transaction information such as plan selection, invoices, payment-related records, organization settings, and support entitlements.
- Technical and operational data such as IP address, browser and device information, cluster or server metadata, service version information, configuration details, logs, usage patterns, reliability metrics, and support diagnostics.
- Content you submit in communications, forms, support requests, feature requests, candidate submissions, or similar interactions.
We collect this information from you, from your organization, automatically through use of the website and platform, from connected infrastructure and integrations, and in some cases from payment, identity, or other business service providers.
How we use information and lawful bases
We use personal information to provide the services, manage accounts and billing, keep systems secure, improve the product, and communicate with users.
We may use personal information to:
- Create and administer accounts, organizations, subscriptions, and billing records.
- Deliver platform functionality, support, migrations, troubleshooting, and Wodby Cloud operations.
- Monitor reliability, investigate incidents, detect abuse, and protect customers and the services.
- Process orders, invoices, taxes, renewals, collections, and service changes.
- Send transactional notices, security alerts, policy updates, and marketing messages where permitted.
- Analyze usage trends and improve product design, documentation, and customer experience.
Where GDPR or similar laws apply, we typically rely on one or more of the following legal bases: performance of a contract, legitimate interests in operating and improving the business, compliance with legal obligations, and consent where required, including for certain non-essential cookies and marketing activities.
If you do not provide information we reasonably need for account setup, billing, security, or support, we may be unable to provide some or all of the services.
International transfers
Personal information may be processed outside your country, including in the United States.
Wodby and our vendors may process personal information in the United States and other countries where we or our providers operate. Data protection laws in those jurisdictions may differ from those in your location.
Where applicable law requires it, we use contractual, technical, or organizational safeguards intended to support lawful cross-border transfers, which may include the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or similar mechanisms.
Data retention
We retain information only as long as necessary for service delivery, security, accounting, disputes, and legal compliance.
Retention periods vary based on the type of information, the service involved, contractual commitments, legal requirements, and operational needs such as security, fraud prevention, accounting, and dispute resolution.
When we no longer need personal information, we delete it, anonymize it, or securely isolate it unless continued retention is required by law or justified by an active legal, billing, or security need.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no system can guarantee absolute security.
Wodby maintains safeguards designed to protect personal information against accidental loss and unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. Those safeguards may include access controls, logging, encryption in transit where appropriate, vendor reviews, incident response processes, and internal confidentiality obligations.
Because no service can guarantee absolute security, customers should also use appropriate safeguards on their side, including strong credentials, least-privilege access, and secure handling of customer data and connected infrastructure.
Your rights and choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or export certain personal information.
You may update some account information directly through your Wodby account. You can also contact us to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection, or withdrawal of consent where applicable.
Marketing emails include an unsubscribe mechanism. Even if you opt out of marketing, we may still send transactional, billing, security, or service-related notices that are necessary to operate your account or provide the services.
Wodby does not use personal information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects within the meaning of GDPR-style laws.
If we process personal information on behalf of one of our customers, you should direct your request to that customer first. We will assist as appropriate under our contractual obligations and applicable law.
Children
Wodby services are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to Wodby, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to investigate and delete the information if required.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as our services, practices, and legal obligations change.
When we update this Privacy Policy, we will change the “Last updated” date on this page. Material changes take effect from the updated effective date unless a different date is stated.
Questions, requests, or complaints about this Privacy Policy can be sent to [email protected].
