General terms and conditions for the use of Weople

Introduction

This Agreement shall be interpreted in the light of the following principles:

Ethics your personal data has an economic value. We believe this value belongs to you too, and not just to some distant and uncontrollable entity. Weople adopts a system that allows you to get the maximum possible value from your data, in a simple and intuitive way.

Data control and security You are free to decide how much data you want to invest. For this reason, Weople offers scalable settings that allow you to define your investment profile. All data is processed in compliance with the most stringent standards of technical and organizational security.

Equity Hoda is inspired by certain principles such as equity, social sustainability and sharing economy. We receive minimum shares of the revenue, covering costs (personnel, structure, research and development, etc..) and minimal operating profit. The rest is distributed to the User according to the redistribution model described in this page.

Transparency Weople is free for you, but not for Hoda. We bear all costs associated with maintaining the service, from a technical and commercial point of view. In order to show you the seriousness of our intentions, we have decided to show you the main aspects related to the management of the Company. In other words, the details regarding revenues, costs, prizes and money distributed through Weople are public and always available on the transparency page of the Application. Such information is certified by specialized companies and external with respect to Hoda.

Art. 1 - Description of the service offered through Weople

Art. 2 - Object of the Contract

This agreement ("Agreement") governs the relationship between you ("User") and Hoda S.r.l. ("Owner"), in relation to the use of the Service offered through the technical platform called Weople ("Weople" or “Application”). The Service includes the investment functionality of personal data ("Main Service") and other ancillary features referred to in Section III of this document (the "Ancillary Services").

The Service is free, also thanks to the existence of association agreements, shareholding and sponsorships with companies interested in supporting the initiative (“Partner” the first two and “Sponsor” the latter).

Section II: The main service offered by Weople

Art. 4 - Logic and functioning of the Main Service

The Main Service allows you to take an economic benefit from the controlled and secure use of your personal data. This objective is achieved by the following scheme:
  1. Weople provides you with a personal caveau containing several Safe-Boxes relating to different areas of your digital life (social networks, purchase information from various e-commerce, loyalty cards, etc.);
  2. Upon registration, the User provides their personal data by activating one or more Safe-Boxes (to this end, you will have various tools, which we will talk about in the next few pages).
  3. Hoda processes, crosses and enriches the personal data stored through profiling tools and algorithms. The profiles created contain relevant information for interested companies ("Companies");
  4. Hoda offers to the Companies two types of services ("Investment activities"): (a) preparation of advertising campaigns and commercial offers exclusively within Weople’s Gain&Relax area and (b) integration of the Companies' databases with anonymous information held by Weople;
  5. As a result of this activity, the Companies pay a fee (also commensurate with the results) which is returned to the User in the form of money [for the hypotheses referred to in point (4)(a)] and rewards [for the hypotheses referred to in point (4)(b) above] (“ROI”).

Art. 5 – Pre-condition of the Contract in connection with the provision of the Main Service

Weople's objective is to value the personal data stored in the Safe-Boxes in order to redistribute to the User the revenues from the investment activity ("Pre-condition of the Contract").

  1. Direct data entry. The data can be entered by the User directly (for example, by filling in special questionnaires of interest, or in other ways, specified during use of the Application);
  2. Insertion by transfer from third-party. If the data is held by a third party (for example, social networks or a supermarket chain), the activation of the corresponding Safe-Box implies the free and automatic activation of the data portability procedure referred to in Articles 14 and 16 no. (2) of this Agreement.

The User agrees to deposit a minimum amount of personal data through the activation of at least one Safe-Box (“Minimum Contribution”).

Art. 7 - Profiling

The User will always be free to eliminate or suspend the profiling in relation to the contents of the various Safe-Boxes.

  1. Creation of advertising campaigns addressed to the Weople’s Users.

The proceeds from the enrichment activity is distributed among users according to the rules set out in Art. 13 below.

Art. 12 – Proceeds

Art. 13 – Awarding of Wecoins and distribution of prizes

Activation of Safe-Boxes involves the granting to the User of a virtual score ("Wecoins") as indicated in the Application.

The amount of Wecoins awarded depends on the number of Safe-Boxes activated by the User including all the data contained within them. The User is free to reduce the number of Safe-Boxes at any time. In this case, however, the amount of Wecoins will be reduced proportionally.
