Cookies
Cookies are small data files that can be placed on your hard drive by websites that you visit. The only personal information that a cookie can contain is information that you provide to us personally.
WHC uses cookies to gather and store personal information that is collected when online transactions occur on our Websites, as well as preferences (used for secure login) of registered users visiting our Websites to help you personalize your online experience. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can be read only by a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize
WHC’s Websites or register with
WHC’s Websites or services, a cookie helps
WHC recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This allows
WHC to deliver messages and material more specific to your needs and to simplify the process of recording your personal information, such as your billing address, shipping address, and so on. When you return to the same
WHC Website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved so you can easily use
WHC’s features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the many valuable interactive features of
WHC's services or Websites you visit.
Security of Your Personal Information
WHC makes every effort to secure your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
WHC protects the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
In the ordinary course of its operations,
WHC does not rent, sell, lease, or share its customer lists to third parties. There are occasions in which
WHC might undertake one of these activities, subject to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.
WHC may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In addition,
WHC may retain the services of a third party vendor to assist it as it attempts to determine whether an individual desires to be retained on
WHC's mailing list or whether that individual might be better served by another service or entity. In addition,
WHC may share data with trusted partners to help it perform statistical analysis, send you e-mail or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
WHC does not disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
