Cookies are small files or pieces of information that may be stored on your device when you visit a website. They can be used for purposes such as remembering preferences, maintaining website functionality, understanding website usage, and helping secure the website.

If we introduce third-party services such as analytics platforms, advertising networks, embedded media players, social-media tools, payment processors, or other technologies that collect personal information, this Privacy Policy may be updated to describe those services and their applicable data practices.
We do not intend for this Privacy Policy to imply that WaveRun Media currently uses a particular third-party service unless that service is actually implemented on the website.

In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction.
We do not sell personal information as a general business practice.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide services, maintain business and communication records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
The length of time information is retained may vary depending on the nature of the information and the reason it was collected.
8. Data Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or stored by us.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have certain rights concerning your personal information.
These rights may include the right to:
Request access to personal information we maintain about you;
Request correction of inaccurate information;
Request deletion of personal information, subject to applicable exceptions;
Request information about how personal information is collected and used;
Object to or restrict certain processing;
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and
Exercise other rights provided by applicable state or federal law.
These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal limitations and exceptions.

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests. We will respond to legitimate requests within the time required by applicable law.
10. California and Other U.S. State Privacy Laws
Certain U.S. states have enacted comprehensive privacy laws that provide residents with additional rights regarding personal information.
If WaveRun Media’s data-processing activities and the applicable thresholds bring the company within the scope of one of those laws, we will provide the additional disclosures and rights required by that law.
California residents may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, including rights concerning access, deletion, correction, and certain disclosures regarding personal information.
Because the applicability of state privacy laws depends on factors such as the nature of a company’s business, revenue, processing activities, and applicable statutory thresholds, this section should be reviewed and updated if WaveRun Media’s business or data practices change.
11. Children’s Privacy
Our website is not directed specifically toward children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate authorization where required by law.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to WaveRun Media without appropriate authorization, please contact us at waverunmedia@gmail.com so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.
12. Links to Other Websites
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, social-media accounts, or other services.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or policies of third-party websites or services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those third parties before providing them with personal information.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business, website, technology, legal requirements, or data practices.
When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy.
