Collection of Information

Your privacy is important to us. Wou AI policy is to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect from you across our website, https://wou.ai/, and other sites we own and operate.

Data Minimization and Retention

We adhere to the principle of data minimization. We only collect information that is necessary for the intended purpose. We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, unless the law requires a longer retention period.
