\1. What Information Does The Platform Collect? We may collect information from you directly, automatically when you visit the Platform, and from third parties. Some of this information may be considered "personal information" or "personal data" under various applicable laws. We consider information that identifies you as a specific, identified individual (such as your name, phone number, and email address) to be personal information. We will also treat additional information, including IP addresses and cookie identifiers, as "personal information" where required by applicable law. Note that we may de-identify personal information so that it is non-personal, such as aggregating or converting it to a code, sometimes using a function commonly known as "hash". We will treat de-identified information as non-personal to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law. If we combine non-personal information with personal information, then we will treat the combined information as personal information under this Policy. Information You Provide Directly Personal information we may collect from you when you use our services includes the information you provide when you create an account, make a listing (e.g. a thermal spa or other venue which may include information such as the city, neighborhood, and approximate geographic location displayed on a map of where the accommodation is located), or make a reservation, such as contact information (e.g., your name, address, email address, and telephone number) and birth date. It may also include billing information such as your credit card number and billing address. You may provide other information to us which can include personal information such as listings, or booking accommodations. Some features may allow you to view, create, reproduce, submit, display, perform, and/or share content, which includes images, written posts (e.g. reviews), comments, and other forms of multimedia (collectively, "User Content"). You may choose to provide us names or other contact information to send information to someone else, such as for a colleague to take advantage of a referral, or to send product information. If you send someone a communication from the Platform, the information you provide (names, email addresses, etc.) is used to facilitate the communication and is not used for any other marketing purposes, unless we obtain consent from that person. If you disclose any personal information relating to other people to us, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Policy. Chat Features When you participate in any chat feature, Wellfolk can record, use, and retain your communications and the data you provide in order to assist you during the chat session, provide customer support, to improve our products and services, and for marketing purposes. If you do not consent, please do not continue with any such chat assistance. Information We Collect Automatically as You Access and Use the Platform We and our third-party business partners (including third party analytics, advertising and other business providers) may use a variety of technologies, including cookies and web tags, that automatically or passively collect information whenever you access or interact with the Platform ("Usage Information"). You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level, but if you choose to disable cookies, it may limit your use of certain features or functions on our website or service. Usage Information may include the hardware model, browser, and operating system you are using, the URL or advertisement that referred you to the Platform, the search terms you entered into a search engine that led you to the Platform, and all areas of the Platform that you visit your time zone, location information (e.g. GPS-based functionality on mobile devices used to access the Platform), and mobile network (if applicable), among other information. We may use Usage Information for a variety of purposes, including enhancing or otherwise improving the Platform. In addition, we may automatically collect your IP address or other unique identifier ("Device Identifier") for any computer, mobile phone, or other device you may use to access the Platform. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your device used to access the Platform. Location Data We may directly collect specific location information from your device if you have opted-in to such collection through one of our applications. You may be able to turn off the collection of location information through your device settings. However, please note that we may still be able to collect or infer your approximate location through other information we collect, such as IP address. In addition, some mobile service providers may also provide us or our third-party service providers or business partners with information regarding the physical location of the device used to access the Platform. The methods used to collect Usage Information may include the following: o Cookies and Local Storage. "Cookies" are small text files stored locally on your device; they are used when you visit the Platform or otherwise access our online content. Cookies may be used for many purposes by us and our third party providers, such as automatically collecting Usage Information, enabling features, remembering your preferences, and to send sms reminders based on your activity on our website or app, browse/cart abandonment (e.g., information and alerts based on the listings you viewed on our website). If you do not want to accept cookies, you can block them by adjusting the settings on your browser. You can find more information about cookies and how they work at www.allaboutcookies.org. Certain browsers or browser add-ons may provide additional local data storage mechanisms that are used in a manner similar to cookies, and some of the content included on our Platform may make use of this local storage. If you choose to disable cookies, or to otherwise restrict local storage, some features of the Platform may not function properly. o Web Tags. Small graphic images or other web programming code called web beacons (also known as "1x1 GIFs" or "clear GIFs" or "pixels" or "tags") may be included in our web pages and email messages. Web tags may be invisible to you, but any electronic image or other web programming code inserted into a web page or email can act as a web tag. Web tags or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes by us and our third party providers, including, without limitation, to count visitors to the Platform, to monitor how users navigate the Platform, to count how many emails that were sent were actually opened or to count how many particular links were actually viewed, or for marketing and targeted advertising purposes. o Embedded Scripts. An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Platform, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your device from our web server or a third party service provider, is active only while you are connected to the Platform, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter. o Session Replay Technology. Wellfolk may record through session replay technology your interactions with the Platform, such as what pages you visit on the Platform, how long you visit those pages, and any links you click or data you provide. We may use this data for our internal business purposes, such as for website analytics, to improve the Platform and our products and services, and to address functionality issues. In addition, we may use a variety of other technologies that collect similar information for security, fraud detection, site functionality and operational purposes. Information We Collect from Third Parties We may receive information about you from third parties, for example, if someone submits information about a host after using the host's spa facilities, or if we supplement the information we collect with information from others (such as public databases, including those containing records about court and other legal proceedings, and publicly available social media pages). We may also receive information about you from business partners (including companies that assist us with online advertising and analytics), data providers who enhance the information we have about you, sources of publicly available information, and other users of the Platform (such as when they provide your information to send you one of our products or participate in a "refer a friend" or similar programs that we may offer). If you are an existing user of Wellfolk, or later become a user of Wellfolk, we may combine the information we receive about you from other users with other information we have about you to better understand your interests and preferences and better market our products and services to you. We may combine the information we receive from those other sources with information we collect through the Platform. In those cases, we will apply this Policy to the combined information. The information collected and stored by the third party is subject solely to the third party's privacy practices. Social Media And Other Third Party Platforms We may permit you to interact with social media and other third party platforms, including Apple, Google, and Facebook, TikTok, and Pinterest. When you interact with third party platforms through the Platform, we will receive information about you. We may also receive information about you if other users of social media give us access to their profiles and you are one of their connections or "friends." The information we collect is subject to this Policy. The information collected and stored by the third party remains subject to the third party's privacy practices, including, without limitation, whether the third party continues to share information with us, the types of information shared, and your choices with regard to what is visible to others on that third-party website or service. We or the third party may allow you to disable or remove the application or feature, in which case we will no longer collect information about you through the application or feature, but we may retain the information previously collected. If you choose to post information to a third party platform, that information may be public and the third party may have access to information about you and your use of the Platform. You may also choose to participate in a way that connects that third-party service with Wellfolk, such as posting to one of our pages on a social media site. Doing so may allow us to collect (or the third party to share) information about you, including personal information, and the third party may allow us to re-post content related to us on our own services. In addition, these third parties may set their own cookies and collect information about your use of Wellfolk, including your IP address or other device identifiers, and which pages you visit on the Platform. Certain third-party platforms may be able to collect certain information on your visits to the Platform regardless of whether or not you affirmatively interact with the feature and whether or not you are logged into (or have) an account. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third parties that control platforms you post to or that connect to Wellfolk and set your privacy preferences with them.

  1. How Does The Platform Use The Information It Collects? We may use non-personal information for any purpose, including for advertising, research, and marketing purposes.

  2. Under What Circumstances Does The Platform Share Or Disclose Information? We may share non-personal information, such as aggregate user statistics, hashed or otherwise de-identified information, and Usage Information, with third parties in our discretion, including for targeted advertising purposes. We do not share your personal information with third parties for those third parties' own direct marketing purposes unless you consent (opt-in or opt-out) to such sharing. Data we collect directly through our SMS/MMS/text message programs is not shared with unaffiliated third-parties for their own direct marketing purposes without your consent. We may also share personal information as disclosed when you provide it, with your consent, as described elsewhere in this Policy, and in the circumstances described below: Publicly Posted Content Information that you provide to create your profile and listings may be visible to the general public who may use it for marketing purposes. Listings may include information such as the city, neighborhood, and approximate geographic location displayed on a map of where the venue (e.g. thermal spa) is located. Such publicly posted content like your profile and listings may appear as search results on search engines by default. Please be aware that Wellfolk does not control the practices of third party search engines and as a result, your information may continue to be visible as a search result. With Other Users Wellfolk does not share your email address with other users without your consent. As a guest, if you agree to be contacted by hosts before your request for a booking has been accepted, and the host decides to do so, Wellfolk will act as an intermediary and connect you with the host. We will not share your email address unless a booking is confirmed. If a booking is confirmed, your email will become visible to the host and guest, and either party may contact one another directly. Otherwise At Your Request or With Your Consent We may share information when you direct us to do so. Subsidiaries and Affiliates We may share your information with our affiliates and subsidiaries for internal business, analytical, operational, and direct marketing purposes. Service Providers We use third party service providers to provide services to us or on our or your behalf, such as payment processing and sending marketing communications. We give these third parties access to your personal information (or allow them to collect information from or about you) so that they can provide these services. Business, Tax, and Legal Purposes We may, without notice to you, store, transfer and disclose data to a tax authority relating to transactions, bookings, accommodations, and taxes including but not limited to, personal information, listings, transaction dates and amounts, tax identification numbers, amount of taxes received by hosts from guests, or allegedly due, contact information and similar information. To the extent permitted by law, we may transfer and disclose your personal information to third parties to protect the integrity of the Platform, enforce or protect our Terms of Use or the rights, property, safety, security of us or any individual; for fraud prevention; in an emergency, to protect the health and safety of our users or the general public. In other cases, unless otherwise required by law, Wellfolk will only reveal your information to federal, provincial, or local agencies ("Government") in the event the Government issues an order, or other binding Government request ("Request"). We will respond to such lawfully authorized, properly served Requests, to the extent required by applicable law. We request that mailings for Government information Requests and law enforcement Requests are sent to: Wellfolk Experiences Inc., c/o Legal Team, 2137 West 1st Street, Vancouver, V6K1E7. For faster processing and response times, Requests should additionally be sent to hello@bewellfolk.com.

Sweepstakes, Contests, and Promotions We may offer sweepstakes, contests, or other promotions (any of which, a "Promotion") that may require registration. By participating in a Promotion, you are agreeing to the provisions, conditions, or official rules that govern the Promotion, which may contain specific requirements of you (including, except where prohibited by law, allowing the sponsor(s) of the Promotion to use your name, voice, likeness, or other indicia of persona in advertising or marketing materials). If you choose to enter a Promotion, personal information may be disclosed to third parties or the public in connection with the administration of such Promotion, including in connection with winner selection, prize fulfillment, as required by law, or as permitted by the Promotion's terms or official rules (such as on a winner's list). Employment Applications If you apply for a job through Wellfolk, we or our service provider(s) may ask you to provide self-identifying information such as your gender, ethnicity and other in conjunction with laws and regulations enforced by the federal, provincial, and local regulatory agencies. Providing such self-identifying information is voluntary, but if you do provide such information, we and/or our service provider may submit that information to the appropriate government or regulatory agencies to fulfill reporting requirements and use that information to defend against employment-related complaints. Please note that we may utilize a careers portal that is operated by a third party, in which case, your registration and use of the careers portal will be subject to the third party's privacy practices as disclosed on the portal.

  3. Third Party Advertising and Analytics Providers and Similar Third Parties We may work with network advertisers, ad agencies, analytics providers, social media companies, and other advertising partners to serve Wellfolk ads online and to provide us with information regarding use of our site and effectiveness of our advertisements.
