We also do not send unsolicited e-mail to any of the addresses we collect. When you request information from WCG and/or supply information that personally identifies you and/or allows us to contact you. For example, when you opt in to receive emails from WCG or agree to participate in surveys, you are agreeing to share such information with WCG, and those working with or for WCG.

You should keep in mind that whenever you publicly disclose information about yourself online – for example, via message boards or chat rooms – that information could be collected and used by people whom you do not know. In addition, certain message boards and similar user forums may display IP addresses along with the message poster’s name and message. WCG bears no responsibility for any action or policies of any third parties who collect any information users may disclose on the message boards, chat areas or other user forums, if any, on the website.
