Privacy Policy

TikWave helps users research TikTok Shop products, trending ads, viral videos, competitors, product demand, pricing, ratings, reviews, and market opportunity. The app provides analysis, scores, and insights for informational and research purposes only.

By using TikWave, you acknowledge that we may process information needed to operate the app, deliver research features, manage subscriptions, improve performance, and keep the service secure.

We may collect the following categories of information, depending on how you use TikWave:

• Account information: email address, login provider, and account identifiers.
• Product search data: search terms, TikTok Shop links, brand names, and product URLs that you submit.
• Analysis data: product metrics, competitor results, score outputs, and saved or recent searches if those features are available.
• Subscription data: purchase status, entitlement status, subscription tier, and renewal or expiry information handled through app store billing and RevenueCat.
• Device and usage data: device type, app version, operating system, IP address, approximate location, app events, and feature usage.
• Support data: messages, feedback, diagnostics, and crash reports you send or that are generated when support is needed.

We use information to operate TikWave and provide a reliable product research experience, including to:

• Provide product analysis and trend research features.
• Process TikTok Shop product and brand searches.
• Generate product scores, market context, and competitor insights.
• Manage subscriptions and premium access.
• Improve app performance and user experience.
• Detect abuse, fraud, and unauthorized access.

TikWave may use third-party providers to operate the app, process searches, manage subscriptions, monitor performance, and analyze usage. These providers may include:

• RevenueCat for subscription entitlement management.
• Apple App Store and Google Play for in-app purchases.
• Analytics and attribution tools such as AppsFlyer, PostHog, Mixpanel, or similar services if enabled.
• Backend hosting providers such as Cloudflare, Vercel, Supabase, or similar providers.
• TikTok-related data or API providers for product and trend analysis.

Each provider processes data under its own privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services that apply to your use of TikWave.

TikWave is independent and is not affiliated with TikTok, ByteDance, or TikTok Shop. Product and trend data may come from public sources or third-party data providers.

Please do not submit private, sensitive, confidential, or personal information through product search fields, links, brand searches, or other research inputs.

TikWave does not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers that help us run the app, including providers for hosting, analytics, app store billing, customer support, fraud prevention, and product or trend analysis.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to enforce our terms, to protect the rights and safety of users, or to protect TikWave and its systems from abuse, fraud, or unauthorized access.

We retain information for as long as needed to provide TikWave, maintain your account, manage subscriptions, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and improve the app. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it is used.

You may contact us to request deletion of your account or personal information, subject to legal, security, and operational requirements.

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. No online service can guarantee absolute security, but we work to keep TikWave secure and reliable.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, export, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal information. You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise privacy rights, contact us at support@tikwave.app.

TikWave is not intended for children under 13, or under 16 where required by local law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to TikWave, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

TikWave may be operated from, and data may be processed in, countries other than where you live. By using TikWave, you understand that information may be transferred to and processed in locations with different data protection laws than your jurisdiction.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the last updated date above. Continued use of TikWave after changes become effective means you acknowledge the updated policy.
