MetaVRse Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2, 2023

MetaVRse Inc.  (“MetaVRse”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy regarding our privacy practices (the “Privacy Policy”) details how we treat the information we collect when you use or access MetaVRse’s products, services, mobile applications, and content (collectively, the “Services”).

When you use the Services, you are consenting to the collection, transfer, manipulation, storage, disclosure and other uses of your information as described in the Privacy Policy.

You should read our terms of use (the “Terms of Use“) together with the Privacy Policy. By accessing the Services, you are acknowledging that the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use apply to your use of the Services and that you agree to be bound by the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use.

What the Privacy Policy covers

The Privacy Policy covers our treatment of information gathered when you are using or accessing the Services. The Privacy Policy also covers our treatment of information that third parties share with us.

The Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that we do not own , including, but not limited to, any third party websites, services and applications, (the “Third Party Services”) that you elect to access through the Services or to individuals that we don’t employ. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of all Third Party Services you access.

What information do we collect?

The categories of information collected by MetaVRse will include all, or just some, of the ones mentioned below, depending on how you choose to use the Services.

Once you have installed any of the Services on your mobile device, MetaVRse will collect:

  • Detailed location information, for example, in the form of GPS signals and other information sent by your mobile device on which any of the Services is installed and activated. The default physical location is generated from obtaining GPS or other geolocation information directly from your mobile device. We collect information about where you, and other users of any of the Services, are located and the routes being travelled to perform product functions such as determining characteristics of the roads being travelled on. We do not ask for, store, or associate any personal identifiers with your GPS information.
  • Financial Information: If you decide to purchase one or more paid Services, you will provide financial information related to your payment method including credit card number, credit card type, card expiration date, or other financial information. We do not, however, store that financial information. That information is provided to and stored by our third party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”). The Payment Processor’s applicable terms of service and privacy statement govern use and storage of that information. The Payment Processor may also have other terms, and you are responsible for locating and familiarizing yourself with those terms, as applicable. Under certain circumstances, we may have access to your name, address, email address, card payment history, and card expiration date through the Payment Processor.
  • Information Related to Use of the Services: We collect information about how people use the Services. This information includes general usage information and may include information such as the number and frequency of our visitors, which pages or features of the Services they have visited, which links on the Services they have clicked on, and the length of those visits. We may also use third party applications and services, as well as in house systems to collect and analyse this information. Some of this information may be associated with the IP Address (as defined below) used to access the Services, and some may be associated with your account, such as the topics you search for and the help pages that you visit. We may also use some of this information in aggregate form, that is, as a statistical measure related to all of our users that would not identify you personally. This information enables us and third parties authorized by us to improve and enhance your experience using the Services.
  • IP Address Information: Under certain circumstances, such as when you log into the Services, or load a web page from the Services, we may collect and store your Internet Protocol Address (the “IP Address“).
  • Derived Information: We analyse your actions on the Services in order to derive or infer characteristics that may be descriptive of you. For example, this analysis might help us determine the types of issues you care about or the geographical areas you are interested in.
  • Communications: Further information may be collected when MetaVRse exchanges communications with you, for example, if you submit a request, contact our support team, or report a problem to us.
