This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored, and shared when you use the Waypoint web browser application ("App"). By using Waypoint, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
Waypoint is designed to provide a private and efficient web browsing experience. Depending on how you use the App and which features are enabled, the following categories of information may be processed.
1.1 Browsing Information
When you use Waypoint to access websites, the App may process information necessary to load and display web pages, including:

- Search queries entered into websites or search engines
- Browsing history
- Cookies and similar website data

Where technically possible, browsing information is stored locally on your device rather than transmitted to us. Waypoint does not sell your browsing history or browsing activity.
1.2 Information Provided to Websites
When you visit a website through Waypoint, information may be exchanged directly between your device and that website. This may include your IP address, browser information, cookies, login credentials, form data, and other information requested by the website. Such information is governed by the privacy policy and practices of the website you visit, not this Privacy Policy.

3. Browsing History and Local Data
Waypoint may store browsing-related information locally on your device, including browsing history, bookmarks, cookies, cached content, saved website data, and browser preferences. This information may remain on your device until you delete it using the browser's available controls or remove the App, subject to the behavior of the operating system and any data stored separately by websites or other services. Waypoint does not sell your browsing history to third parties.
4. Search Queries
If you use a search engine through Waypoint, your search query may be sent directly to the search engine you select. The search engine may collect and process your search queries, IP address, device information, cookies, and other information according to its own privacy policy. Waypoint does not control the privacy practices of third-party search engines.
5. Cookies and Website
Storage Websites accessed through Waypoint may use cookies, local storage, session storage, caches, and other similar technologies. These technologies may be used by websites to:
- Keep you signed in
- Remember preferences
- Maintain shopping carts or sessions
- Measure website usage
- Provide website functionality
- Personalize content or advertising
You can manage or delete website data using the browser controls provided by Waypoint, where available.
6.Third-Party Websites and Services
Waypoint allows you to access websites and online services operated by third parties. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or data collection practices of third-party websites. You should review the privacy policies of websites and services you visit through Waypoint. Third-party services may collect information independently of Waypoint, including information associated with your use of their websites.
7. Analytics and Crash Reporting
Waypoint may use analytics,diagnostics, or crash-reporting technologies to understand application performance and identify technical problems. Where such technologies are used, the information collected may include technical information such as App version, operating system, device information, crash logs, and performance data. We aim to limit diagnostic information to what is reasonably necessary to maintain and improve the App. If Waypoint uses a third-party analytics or crash-reporting provider, that provider may process information on our behalf in accordance with its applicable privacy terms.
8. Advertising
Waypoint may display advertising if advertising functionality is introduced or enabled in the App. If advertising services are used, third-party advertising providers may process information necessary to provide, measure, or personalize advertising, subject to applicable law and required consent. We will update this Privacy Policy if our advertising practices materially change.
9.Personalization and Tracking
Waypoint does not intentionally use your browsing history to personally identify you or create a profile about your browsing activity unless explicitly disclosed to you. Where applicable, you may be provided with controls to manage privacy, tracking, cookies, or other browser data.
10. Permissions
Waypoint may request access to certain device capabilities when required for specific browser functionality. Examples may include:
- Camera access for websites that request camera functionality
- Microphone access for websites that request microphone functionality
- Location access for websites that request location functionality
- Photo or file access when you choose to upload or download content
- Notifications when you enable notifications
Permissions are controlled through your device's operating-system settings. You can generally revoke permissions at any time. Waypoint does not access device capabilities without the applicable operating-system permission or your action to enable the relevant feature.
11. Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information processed through Waypoint against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no Internet transmission, electronic storage system, or software application can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use appropriate security practices when entering sensitive information into websites, including passwords, financial information, or other confidential information.
12. Children's Privacy
Waypoint is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us in a manner that violates applicable law, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.
13. Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. Information stored locally by the browser may remain on your device until you delete it through Waypoint, your device settings, or other applicable controls. Third-party websites and services may retain information according to their own policies.
14. International Data Transfers
Depending on the services used by Waypoint, information may be processed or stored in countries other than the country in which you reside. Where required by applicable law, we will use appropriate safeguards for international transfers of personal information.
