Your Identity: We Protect It To The Extent The Law Allows

We do our best to protect your identity at all times and we are respectful of the law. WYM will disclose personally-identifying information when required to do so by law.

 

Linking to Third Party Sites

These Are Your Decisions And Responsibilities:

As an optional convenience for you, WYM offers you the opportunity to link to and/or connect to third party websites, advertisers, vendor products, services, etc., including and not limited to social network sites. When you click-through, connect or link to these third party sites, products, services, etc., you are no longer protected by WYM's Privacy Policy. If you share to any third party social site from WYM, they will not be able to see back into your WYM account. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these third parties, as they differ from WYM's privacy practices as set forth in this Privacy Policy. WYM is not liable for wrongful use, loss, or disclosure of your personally-identifying information related to your use of any third party.

 

Security: HTTPS and Encryption

We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of your personal user data and other information transmitted to us. For example, we encrypt your personally identifiable information, and most, if not all requests from you to the server are created over a secure connection (HTTPS). However, no data transmission over the Internet or other network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

 

Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from a child under the age of 16, we will delete such information from our records.
