Personally Identifiable Information

Personally identifiable information is any piece of information which can potentially be used to uniquely identify, contact, or locate a single person. We do not share, rent or sell your personally-identifiable information with any entity except under the following special circumstances:

• As required by authorities, to comply with law such as in response to subpoenas or court orders.

• To enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements.

• To protect the rights, property, or safety of WISEOZ, our users or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

We may share your information with other service providers to help us bring you the services we offer as part of our business operations. For a limited time in connection with these business activities, our service providers may have access to your personal information. Where we utilize third parties for the processing of any personal information, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that information to WISEOZ specific purposes only.

User Registration

We collect personally identifiable information from you as a part of the user registration process. The information we collect from you during user registration allows us to grant you member access and privileges to WISEOZ. Where applicable, credit card information is also collected for paid memberships. Your personal information including first name, last name, street address, city, zone, e-mail, and phone number are kept securely in our databases. We collect this information to better communicate with you regarding your membership. We may occasionally use your name and e-mail address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by WISEOZ that we think you may find valuable. Additionally, we ask for your contact preference so that we may contact you to award prizes won as part of the various events that you may choose to participate in as a member of WISEOZ.

To ensure the protection and security of your information beyond registration, we suggest you select a username that does not identify you personally and a password that is not easily guessed. Passwords should be 6 or more characters in length and comprised of both letters and numbers. For greater protection, consider using different passwords for every website you are a member of. In case security of one website is compromised, your other accounts are still protected. If you forget your WISEOZ password, it can be reset and a new password e-mailed to you upon request.

User Profile

As a member of WISEOZ, you are able to customize your user profile with personal details about yourself. In some cases, that information is able to be restricted to your groups or friends or hidden completely. Where privacy settings are unavailable, your user profile is public information. With the exception of your username, you can update your information at any time by editing your user profile. In some cases where your privacy settings permit, other WISEOZ members may be able to supplement your profile through comments and postings.

We can not control the actions of other users with whom you may choose to share your information. With that in mind, we do not guarantee that information you post will not be viewed by unauthorized persons.
