The Wolf and The Bee (referred to herein as “us,” “we,” “our” and “Company”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we treat information we collect from or about you in connection with our sites, services, or otherwise where this Privacy Policy is posted or referenced (the “Platform”).

Company (and the vendors we hire to perform services on our behalf) collect, receive, and develop several categories of personal information about you depending on the nature of your interactions with us. For example:
We collect Contact Information. We collect your name, email address, phone number, account username and password, IP address, and mailing address.
We collect Device, Internet, and Network Activity Information. If you use our Platform, we may collect information about the browser you are using and your IP address. We might also collect device identifiers. We might look at what website you came from, or what site you visit when you leave us. We (and other parties we work with) may collect page interaction information and other electronic communication and content from your use of the site (such as content entry, mouse movements, screen captures, what areas of the website you visit and for how long, what search terms or other data you enter, and what content or links you view and click on), and methods used to browse away from the page. We may also embed technologies (which may include web beacons, tags, and pixels) in the emails and other communications we or our vendors send to you to help us understand how you interact with those messages, such as whether and when you opened a message or clicked on any content within the message. We may engage or otherwise permit other parties to also collect information on our sites in these ways.
