However, regardless of our efforts and the Device you use to access the Site, it is possible that third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions, private communications or other personally identifiable information.
“Phishing” is a real security risk on the Internet today. This involves a third party who attempts to steal a user’s personally identifiable information and/or financial account credentials through “spoofed” emails (e.g., emails that appear to come from WGC) that lead consumers to a non-WGC website, or otherwise respond in a manner that is designed to trick recipients into divulging Information such as credit card numbers, account usernames, passwords and social security numbers. WGC DOES NOT SEND EMAILS ASKING YOU TO PROVIDE OR CONFIRM CREDIT CARD NUMBERS, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS OR YOUR USERNAME OR PASSWORD! If you receive such email communication, please forward it immediately to the Site’s Privacy Administrator at whengracecalled@gmail.com, and then immediately delete the fraudulent email from your computer.

We do not sell, trade, or rent Users personal identification information to others. We may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification information regarding visitors and users with our business partners, trusted affiliates and advertisers for the purposes outlined above.
