WxData Privacy Policy
November 29, 2017
Policy Overview
This Privacy Policy pertains to the use of the WxData.com website. Safeguarding your privacy is serious business. That's why WxData.com privacy policy is simple: WxData.com will not disclose, sell or rent any personally identifiable information without the user's proper consent except as provided in this statement. The WxData.com user is given final word on whether or not to share such information with WxData.com. For questions or concerns about iAlert Services LLC information practices, contact the WxData.com Policy Manager as provided at the end of this policy.
Information Retention
To preserve the integrity of website databases WxData.com's procedure is to retain information submitted by members for an indefinite length of time. By submitting information to WxData.com you are consenting to store that information indefinitely. If required by law, such as the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) WxData.com will scramble and/or encrypt that information to make it unrecognizable. WxData.com will also respond to written member requests to scramble account information. If you wish to make such a request, which will require you to verify your identity, contact the WxData.com Policy Manager.
Information Collection and Use
WxData.com will only require personally identifiable information at the time of registration or inside membership account for select services. This might include email address, phone number, birth date, zip or postal code and the country of residence. This information is used to identify you as a unique user within WxData.com or by the parent company iAlert Services LLC and will not be shared with any other party without your consent and notification. Information about members that is not personally identifiable may be used anonymously for purposes of advertising, demographic collection, market research data, anonymous reporting and to better tailor WxData.com's content to the user's needs. This type of information will not include any data that identifies members as an individual, such as email address, home address or telephone number. If the user provides such information as part of an optional promotion, contest, survey or similar program they are subject to the separate privacy rules and expectations of each individual program. In addition to on-site advertising, WxData.com may advertise products, companies and events that we think might interest you through the email address you provide. The user is always able to ask WxData.com not to contact them with such information again. The user will not be included in promotions, contests, submission opportunities, solicitations or other programs unless they opt-in. If you receive unsolicited email from a WxData.com, please contact the WxData.com Policy Manager, as WxData.com does not wish to provide users with unwanted information. Please note that WxData.com may be required to share information with relevant authorities in order to investigate, prevent or enforce suspected or confirmed illegal activities, including with no limitation: fraud, threat or potential threat to the physical safety of any person, violation of WxData.com's Terms of Service and/or User Agreement or as otherwise permitted or required by law. WxData.com may also be required to disclose such information in order to comply with subpoenas, warrants, court orders or legal process or to establish or exercise iAlert Services LLC legal rights or defend against legal claims
