Privacy Policy

Updated July 20, 2026

FirstWave is an independent service connecting brands and Threads creators. This page explains what data we collect, why, and how we protect it.

Who we are

The service is operated by FirstWave. We are not affiliated with Meta Platforms, Inc. and are not part of Threads.

What data we collect

Email and a password hash (the plain password itself is never stored anywhere).

If you sign up as a creator — your Threads profile handle/link.

If you sign up as a brand — company name, description, website (optional), and a Telegram contact.

Technical data while using the service: IP address, device type, error logs — needed for security and troubleshooting.

Why we need this data

To let you register, log in, and use the service.

To send a verification code to your email during registration.

To link a brand's orders to a creator's posts and calculate payouts correctly.

To find and fix technical issues.

Who we share data with

Resend — an email delivery service (used only to send your verification code).

Sentry — an error-tracking service (receives technical crash data, never passwords or messages).

We do not sell data to third parties or use it for advertising outside the service.

How we store and protect data

Passwords are stored only as a one-way hash (bcrypt).
