WILLOOK PRIVACY POLICY
Willook is a unique site and repository for some very personal information you choose to share. For that reason, this Privacy Policy is created for you to understand how information that is submitted to Willook (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy is part of our overall Terms of Use that we encourage you to review.
OVERVIEW
We want you to know when we collect information that can personally identify you and how we safeguard that information. Our site is certified by VeriSign® to show that we use current and high standard security technology to protect your private information. Also, we make sure to limit third party access to your private information. We will not contact you unless necessary to maintain your registration with Willook or for other specific purposes relating to your use of the Site. If we do contact you with any kind of offers or extra information, we’ll respect your request to opt out of unwanted correspondence from us. Please keep in mind that what you post to the public portions of our site is not private. It will be up to you what you post on those public portions of the Site, as long as your posts comply with our Terms of Use.
HOW DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION
Registration. In order to use some functions of our website, you must first complete the registration form and create a user name and password. During registration, you are required to give valid contact information (such as your name and email address). After composing a message, you are required to give contact information of your recipient (the person you wish your message will be sent to). We use this information to contact you or your recipient according to our Terms of Use. You may have the option to provide demographic information (such as educational level and gender) to us. We encourage you to submit this information so we can provide you a more personalized experience on our site.
Financial Transactions. We collect personally identifiable information each time that perform a transaction on the Site, such as making a payment to secure access to the restricted private sections of the Site. This information includes such information as your Willook ID, name, address and other contact information as well as credit card information. We use this information to administer financial transactions and to reduce the risk of fraud or violations of our Terms of Use.
Surveys or Contests. From time to time we may provide you the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys on our site. If you participate, we will request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these surveys or contests is voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code). We may use a third-party service provider to conduct these surveys or contests. We will prohibit this third-party service provider from using our users’ personally identifiable information for any other purpose.
User Referrals. If you choose to use our referral service to tell someone else about our site, we will ask you for that person’s name and email address. We will automatically send that person a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site. This email contains a link back to our website that contains your Willook account name. This will track which users register on our site though our referral so that we may offer you participation in our various referral programs. Willook may store this information for our records, but will only contact the referral for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email.
Browser Activities. As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in web server log files. This information includes Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser types, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamps, and click-stream data. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. For more information about this, please see the section on “Cookies” below.
Profile. We store information that we collect through cookies, log files, and/or clear gifs to create a “profile” of your preferences. We tie your personally identifiable information and transaction history to information in the profile in order to provide tailored promotions for the Site, improve the content of the site, and to reduce the risk of fraud.
COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE SITE
You may receive a variety of communications from Willook based upon the preferences you choose when you register for the Site. Out of respect for your privacy, with some exceptions (listed below) we generally provide you a way to unsubscribe from these communications. Communications from Willook comply with United States Federal Law, including the CAN-SPAM Act, which establishes requirements for those who send commercial email, spells out penalties for spammers and companies whose products are advertised in spam if they violate the law, and gives consumers the right to ask emailers to stop spamming them. (For more information on The CAN-SPAM Act go to the government website at http://www.ftc.gov/spam/ )
Some of the communications you may receive from Willook include Newsletters, Service Related Announcements, and Customer Service Information. If you wish to subscribe to our newsletter(s), we will use your name and email address to send the newsletter to you. We will send you strictly service-related announcements on rare occasions when it is necessary to do so. For instance, we may send you an email if we suspend our service for maintenance or if we make material changes to our policies. Because these messages are important and not promotional in nature, you may not opt-out of these communications. If you do not wish to receive them, you may deactivate your account. Based upon the personally identifiable information you provide us, we will send Customer Service emails such as a welcoming email to verify your username and password. We will also communicate with you in response to your inquiries, to provide the services you request, and to manage your account.
