4. Public Wisty Profiles

An important part of Wisty is the ability to share your digital identity through your Wisty card.

Information that you choose to place on your Wisty profile may be publicly accessible to anyone who opens your profile.

You are responsible for choosing what information you make public.

We recommend that you do not publish sensitive, confidential or private information on your Wisty profile.

You can update or remove information from your profile through your Wisty account.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable, we process personal information under the following legal bases:

  • Contract: when processing is necessary to provide your Wisty account, profile or purchased products.
  • Legitimate interests: for operating, securing and improving Wisty and preventing misuse.
  • Legal obligation: where we are required to process information to comply with applicable law.
  • Consent: where we specifically ask for your consent to process information.

The appropriate legal basis depends on the specific information and the reason we process it. UK GDPR requires organisations to identify a lawful basis for processing personal information.

6. Shopify and Payment Processing

Wisty uses Shopify to operate its online store and process orders.

Payments are processed through Shopify Payments. Payment providers may process information necessary to complete your transaction, prevent fraud and comply with financial and legal requirements.

Shopify and its service providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable data protection laws.

7. Information We Share

We may share personal information with trusted service providers where necessary to operate Wisty, including:

  • Shopify
  • Shopify Payments
  • Hosting and technology providers

We do not sell your personal information.

We do not share your personal profile information with third parties for targeted advertising.

8. Cookies and Analytics

Wisty currently does not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel or similar advertising tracking systems.

Our website may use necessary cookies or technologies required for the website, account functionality, security and Shopify services to work properly.

If we introduce additional analytics, advertising or tracking technologies in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any required choices or consent mechanisms.

9. Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Account information may be kept while your Wisty account remains active.

Order and transaction information may be retained for as long as necessary to fulfil orders, provide customer support, resolve disputes and comply with legal and accounting obligations.

When information is no longer required, we may delete or anonymise it.

  • Request deletion of your information.
  • Request restriction of processing.
  • Object to certain processing.
  • Request transfer of certain personal information.

You can exercise your rights by contacting:

wistyhelp@gmail.com

We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.

UK data protection guidance recognises rights including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection, although the exact availability of each right depends on the circumstances and lawful basis.

11. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse or disclosure.

However, no online service can guarantee complete security.

12. Third-Party Links

Wisty profiles may contain links to third-party websites and social media platforms, such as Instagram, TikTok, Telegram, YouTube or other services.

When you follow these links, you leave Wisty and become subject to the privacy practices and policies of the third-party service.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services.

13. Children's Privacy

Wisty is not intended for children under the age required by applicable law.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children where such collection is prohibited by law.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us at:

14. International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers, including Shopify and technology providers, may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Where required by applicable data protection law, appropriate safeguards will be used for international transfers of personal information. UK GDPR has specific requirements for restricted international transfers.
