Effective July 13, 2026

What Wovch is

Wovch is a private, invitation-based network. People connect in mutual Circles, recommend businesses they genuinely trust, and discover those businesses through relationship context. Wovch is not a public follower network or a public directory of Circle recommendations.

Information we collect

Account and profile information

We may collect your name, handle, email, sign-in details, profile information, optional location, preferences, and account settings.

Circle and recommendation information

We process Circle requests and connections, recommendations, searches, saved needs, asks, Wovch Passes, confirmations, Visit Notes, co-signs, disputes, and related activity.

Business information

For businesses, we may collect ownership and contact information, profile details, locations, staff roles, service information, confirmation activity, billing status, and payment information handled by payment providers.

Website and support information

When you submit a business or contact form, we collect the fields shown in that form. Website analytics are limited to coarse events such as page paths, CTA interactions, FAQ use, and form completion.

Technical and safety information

We process device, browser, network, log, security, and operational information needed to provide the service, prevent abuse, diagnose failures, and protect accounts and payments.

How we use information

• Create and secure accounts.
• Operate mutual Circles and Circle-gated business discovery.
• Show the person and context behind a recommendation.
• Operate Wovch Pass, confirmation, Visit Note, reward, charge, dispute, and payout flows.
• Verify and support business profiles.
• Provide support and service communications.
• Protect integrity, safety, legal compliance, and reliability.
• Understand and improve the website and product.

Who can see what

Accepted Circle connections can discover the businesses you recommend in the intended Circle context. Businesses can see information tied to their own profile and Wovch activity where needed for service, confirmation, billing, disputes, or support. Businesses do not receive a copy of your full Circle, contact list, personal email, phone number, unrelated business activity, or payout details for marketing.

Service providers and legal sharing

Wovch uses providers for hosting, databases, authentication, email, analytics, security, customer support, payment processing, identity verification, and payouts. They process information for Wovch under applicable agreements. We may also share information to comply with law, protect rights and safety, investigate misuse, complete a business transaction, or with your direction.

Sale and advertising

Wovch does not sell personal information and does not operate an advertising business based on member attention. Paid participation does not buy access to a person’s private Circle or placement inside Circle recommendations.

Your choices and rights

• Choose who belongs in your Circle.
• Edit available profile and business information.
• Decline optional location access.
• Manage communications where choices are offered.
• Request access, correction, deletion, or other privacy rights available where you live.
• Request account deletion, subject to unresolved activity and lawful retention.

Retention and security

Wovch retains information for as long as reasonably needed for the service, account relationships, charges, rewards, payouts, disputes, taxes, safety, fraud prevention, legal duties, and enforcement. Retention varies by record and jurisdiction. We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards, but no system can guarantee absolute security.

Children and regional rights

You must be legally able to create a Wovch account where you live. Additional privacy rights and age rules may apply by location. Contact Wovch to exercise a right or ask how it applies to you.

Changes

Wovch may update this policy and will provide notice when legally required. Material changes will be communicated through an appropriate website, email, or in-app notice.
