Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 7, 2026

CreWave respects your privacy and aims to collect as little personal data as reasonably necessary to operate the platform. This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

1.Information We May Collect

Depending on how you use CreWave, we may collect:

  • contact information you provide, such as email address
  • payment-related information processed through third-party payment providers
  • communications sent to us
  • basic technical and usage data, such as browser type, device type, IP address, pages visited, approximate location, referral source, and interaction analytics
  • cookie or similar technology data, where used

CreWave does not require users to upload CVs or create full crew profiles directly on the platform unless the platform later adds such features.

2.What CreWave Does Not Do

CreWave does not currently:

  • store crew CVs through the platform
  • process job applications internally
  • act as the employer for listed roles
  • sell personal data to third-party advertisers

3.How We Use Information

We may use collected information to:

  • operate and maintain the platform
  • process subscriptions and manage access to paid features
  • respond to messages and support requests
  • detect fraud, abuse, and technical issues
  • improve listings, search, user experience, and platform performance
  • comply with legal obligations
  • send transactional or service-related communications

4.External Applications and Third Parties

Applications and employment communications usually happen outside CreWave, using contact details provided in listings or third-party websites and services.

Once you contact an employer, agency, or other third party, their privacy practices apply, not CreWave's. CreWave is not responsible for how third parties collect, use, store, or share your personal information.

5.Payment Providers

Payment transactions may be handled by third-party processors. CreWave may receive limited subscription-related information necessary to confirm payment status, manage access, reduce fraud, and handle support issues, but does not necessarily store full payment card details.

6.Cookies and Analytics

CreWave may use cookies, pixels, logs, and analytics tools to understand traffic, improve performance, remember preferences, protect the service, and measure engagement.

By using the platform, you consent to such technologies where allowed by law. Where applicable law requires more specific consent, such consent will be requested through the platform.

7.Data Retention

CreWave retains information only for as long as reasonably necessary for business, security, legal, operational, and record-keeping purposes, after which it may be deleted, anonymized, or aggregated.

8.Data Security

CreWave uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. However, no system, transmission method, or storage arrangement is completely secure, and CreWave cannot guarantee absolute security.

9.International Use

CreWave may be accessed internationally. By using the platform, you understand that your information may be processed and stored in countries that may have different data protection laws than your own.

10.Your Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion, objection, restriction, or portability of certain personal data.

To make a privacy request, contact:

CreWave may need to verify your identity before processing a request.

11.Children's Privacy

CreWave is not intended for children, and users must be of legal age to enter employment-related arrangements in their jurisdiction. CreWave does not knowingly collect personal data from children.

12.Changes to This Privacy Policy

CreWave may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of the platform after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
