Privacy Policy of NomadWay OÜ

Welcome to the NomadWay Privacy Policy ("Policy")

This explains how we collect, store, protect, and share your information, and with whom we share it. We suggest you read this in conjunction with our Terms and Conditions of Use.

While you're enjoying the NomadWay mobile application (including the desktop version) ("App"), our websites and microsites (such as www.nomadway.app), or using our digital products and services (together, referred to in this Privacy Policy as our "Services"), we collect some information about you. In addition, you may choose to use the Services to share information with other users. We may also need to share your information sometimes.

The Services are global, and your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the country you live in. This Policy explains how we protect your personal data when we transfer it overseas, so please read very carefully!

Who we are

The Services are operated by NomadWay OÜ (also referred to in this policy as "we" or "us"), which is the controller of personal information collected and processed through the NomadWay App and Services.
