WASP - Connecting Local Businesses and Services for Next-Gen Users

Overview

WASP is a modern mobile application designed to bridge the gap between local communities and the businesses that serve them. In an increasingly digital world, WASP makes it simple for users to discover, connect with, and utilize a wide range of local services—from pharmacies and grocery stores to tailors and doctors—all from the convenience of their smartphone.

Our mission is to empower next-gen users by providing a safe, minimal, and intuitive platform to find and engage with the essential services in their immediate vicinity.

How WASP Uses Google Sign-In

To ensure a secure and personalized experience for all our users, WASP uses Google Sign-In as its sole method for account authentication. This is a mandatory step for using the app.

Why We Use Google Sign-In

  • Security and Trust: Leveraging Google's secure authentication system helps us protect user accounts and prevent unauthorized access.
  • Simplicity: Users can sign in quickly and easily without needing to create or remember a separate password for WASP.
  • Age Verification: To comply with global minimum age standards and ensure a safe environment, we need to verify that all users are at least 13 years old.

Permissions and Data Usage

When you sign in with Google, we will request your permission to access the following basic information from your Google Account:

  • Basic Profile Information (name, email, profile picture): We use this information to create and personalize your WASP user profile. Your email is used as a unique identifier for your account.
  • Year of Birth and Gender: This information will be requested to verify that you meet the minimum age requirement of 13 years. This is a crucial step for ensuring compliance and user safety.

WASP is committed to user privacy. The information obtained from Google is used solely for the purposes of account creation, personalization, and safety verification within the app. We do not share this information with third-party services.
