Weva API Services, are part of an authentication and authorization framework that gives you, the developer, the ability to connect directly with Weva users when you would like to request access to Weva user data. The policy below, as well as the Weva APIs Terms of Service, govern the use of Weva API Services when you request access to Weva user data.
If you wish to access Weva user data you must provide Weva users and Weva with clear and accurate information regarding your use of Weva API Services. This includes, without limitation, requirements to accurately represent:
You must publish a privacy policy that fully documents how your application interacts with user data. You must list the privacy policy URL in your OAuth client configuration when your application is made available to the public.
Your Privacy Policy and all in-product privacy notifications should be accurate, comprehensive, and easily accessible. Your privacy policy and in-product privacy notifications must thoroughly disclose the manner in which your application accesses, uses, stores, or shares Weva user data. Your use of Weva user data must be limited to the practices explicitly disclosed in your published privacy policy, but you should consider the use of additional in- product notifications to ensure that users understand how your application will handle user data. If you change the way your application uses Weva user data, you must notify users and prompt them to consent to an updated privacy policy before you make use of Weva user data in a new way or for a different purpose than originally disclosed.
Disclosures about data use should be prominent and timely. Your privacy policy and any in-product notifications regarding data use should be prominently displayed in your application interface so that users can find this information easily. Where possible, disclosures about data use should be timely and shown in context.
Permission requests should make sense to users, and should be limited to the critical information necessary to implement your application.
Don't request access to information that you don't need. Only request access to the permissions necessary to implement your application's features or services. If your application does not require access to specific permissions, then you must not request access to these permissions. Don't attempt to "future proof" your access to user data by requesting access to information that might benefit services or features that have not yet been implemented.
Request permissions in context where possible. Only request access to user data in context (via incremental auth) whenever you can, so that users understand why you need the data.
You are strictly prohibited from engaging in any activity that may deceive users or Weva about your use of Weva API Services. This includes without limitation the following requirements:
Do not misrepresent what data is collected or what you do with Weva user data. Be up front with users so that they can make an informed decision to grant authorization. You must disclose all user data that you access, use, store, delete, or share, as well as any actions you take on a user's behalf.
You are not permitted to access, aggregate, or analyze Weva user data if the data will be displayed, sold, or otherwise distributed to a third party conducting surveillance.
Overall there should be no surprises for Weva users: hidden features, services, or actions that are inconsistent with the marketed purpose of your application may lead Weva to suspend your ability to access Weva API Services.
Do not mislead Weva about an application's operating environment. You must accurately represent the environment in which the authentication page appears. For example, don't claim to be an Android application in the user agent header if your application is running on iOS, or represent that your application's authentication page is rendered in a desktop browser if instead the authentication page is rendered in an embedded web view.
Do not use undocumented APIs without express permission. Don't reverse engineer undocumented Weva API Services or otherwise attempt to derive or use the underlying source code of undocumented Weva API Services. You may only access data from Weva API Services according to the means stipulated in the official documentation of that API Service, as provided by Weva.
Do not make false or misleading statements about any entities that have allegedly authorized or managed your application. You must accurately represent the company, organization, or other authority that manages your application. Making false representations about client credentials to Weva or Weva users is grounds for suspension.
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA, applies to websites, apps, and services directed to children under the age of 13 and general audience apps, websites, or services with users known to be under the age of 13. While child-directed apps may use some Weva services, developers are responsible for using these services according to their obligations under the law. Please review the FTC's guidance on COPPA (including information about the differences between mixed audience apps and apps directed primarily to children from the FTC's website) and consult with your own legal counsel.
Child-directed apps: If your application is directed primarily at children, it should not use Weva or any other Weva API Service that accesses data associated with a Weva Account.
Mixed audience apps: Applications that are mixed audience shouldn't require users to sign in to a Weva Account, but can offer, for example, Weva Services as an optional feature. In these cases, users must be able to access the application in its entirety without signing into a Weva Account.
We expect all user data is secure in transit and at rest. Take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect all applications or systems that make use of Weva API Service and any data derived from it against unauthorized or unlawful access, use, destruction, loss, alteration, or disclosure.
Unless stated otherwise in the product's User Data and Developer Policy, additional requirements include:
You must access Weva API Services in accordance with the Terms and Conditions. If you are found to be out of compliance with the Weva APIs Terms of Service, this Weva API Services: User Data Policy, or any Weva product policies that are applicable to the Weva API Service you are using, Weva may revoke or suspend your access to Weva API Services and other Weva products and services if you are found in violation of other product policies, terms of service, or other guidelines. Your access to Weva API Services may also be revoked if your application enables end-users or other parties to violate the Weva APIs Terms of Service and/or Weva policies.
