Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 24, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Internet Technology Services LLC ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use the Wayfern platform. It is a companion to our Terms of Service.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only what we need to run the service. When the Wayfern browser is used locally, we do not collect any information from your personal computer. For the cloud platform we collect:

  • Account information: your email address (used as your sign-in identity), and an optional display name and avatar URL if you provide one.
  • Authentication data: one-time login codes (stored only as a hash, briefly) and session/refresh tokens that keep you signed in.
  • Billing information: your subscription status, billing period, and a customer reference held by our payment processors. We never see or store full card numbers. Card data is handled directly by Stripe.
  • Usage and metering data: counts of browser session-time, search requests, captcha solves, and proxy bandwidth, plus an append-only credit ledger. This drives billing and your usage dashboard.
  • Projects and API tokens: the projects, link tokens, and API tokens you create. API token secrets are stored only as a hash and shown to you once.

We do not collect or store the contents of the pages you browse or scrape through your sessions.

2. How We Use Information

  • To provide, operate, and maintain the platform and your browser sessions.
  • To authenticate you and keep your account secure.
  • To meter usage, process payments, and prevent fraud and abuse.
  • To send you transactional messages, such as login codes and billing notices.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.

3. Service Providers

We share information with a small set of processors strictly to operate the service:

  • Payment processors: Stripe (card payments and invoices) and NOWPayments (cryptocurrency payments).
  • Email delivery: to send one-time login codes and account notifications.
  • Cloud infrastructure and CDN: to host the platform and run browser sessions.
  • A residential proxy provider: when a session requests a specific geographic exit, its traffic is routed through our proxy partner.
  • A captcha-solving provider: when you use the captcha or search APIs, the captcha challenge is forwarded to our solving partner.

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect our rights, users, and the integrity of the service.

4. Cookies & Analytics

Wayfern does not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. To keep you signed in, the dashboard stores your session tokens in your browser's local storage on your device. For aggregate traffic statistics we use Simple Analytics, a privacy-first, cookieless analytics service that does not collect personal data or build user profiles.

5. Data Retention

We keep account and usage data for as long as your account is active. Browser sessions and associated project data are retained until the end of your billing period and then permanently deleted. Login codes are short-lived and expire automatically. We may retain limited billing and transaction records where required for legal, accounting, or tax purposes.

6. Your Rights & Account Deletion

You can access and update your basic profile from your account page at any time. You may also request deletion of your account:

  • Users without an active subscription can delete their account at any time from the account page. Personal information (email, name) and associated data are deleted immediately.
  • Users with an active subscription must cancel it first; deletion then takes effect at the end of the billing period.
  • Records retained by our payment processors for legal and tax compliance are governed by their respective privacy policies.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have additional rights (such as access, correction, portability, or objection). To exercise them, contact us at the address below.

7. Security

We protect your data with industry-standard measures: encrypted transport, hashed secrets (login codes and API tokens are never stored in plaintext), and scoped access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your information.

8. Children's Privacy

Wayfern is not directed to anyone under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a minor has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Substantial changes will be communicated to you, and the "Last updated" date above will reflect the revision.
