AI Personalization

Wayve uses artificial intelligence to create personalized video content for you. Our AI systems analyze your stated preferences, viewing history, engagement patterns, and similar users' behavior to understand what content you might enjoy.

You can adjust your preferences at any time in the app settings, and we will update your content recommendations accordingly. Our AI systems are designed to improve over time, learning from aggregate user behavior while respecting individual privacy.

  • With Your Consent: When you explicitly authorize us to share your information
  • Aggregated Data: We may share aggregated, anonymized data that cannot identify you individually for research, analytics, and marketing purposes

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our services. We may also retain and use your information as necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Viewing history and preference data may be retained to maintain the quality of your personalized recommendations. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit and at rest, secure server infrastructure, access controls, and regular security assessments.
