Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to WCSO. To better protect your privacy
and make it more efficient for you and others to interact
with WCSO’s system and government partners, WCSO and its
government partners (collectively, “We”) provide this
Privacy Policy to explain our online information practices
and how your information is collected and used by the
Services. This policy applies to the Services and this
website with respect to information that the Services may
receive or collect from users of the Services, including
you.
Collection of Information
We expect to collect some or all
of the following information:
(a) Personally Identifiable
Information. We expect to collect personally identifiable
information through the Services, and may ask for personally
identifiable information such as some or all of your name,
address, phone number, email address, personal information
you voluntarily submit in completing any applications or
forms online and any applicable payment information (credit
card number and expiration date, account/check information,
etc.). Some or all of this information will be stored in one
or more databases of this website. You may be assigned a
password in order to access certain functions of the
Services.
(b) Non-Personally Identifiable
Information. We may also collect non-personally identifiable
information that includes the domain of the private Internet
access accounts associated with your use of the Services
(such as “abcCorporation.com”), an Internet address number
assigned to your computing device when you are online, the
pages you visit within this website, the type of Internet
browser and computer operating system you are using, and
links to other websites that you access. We may also collect
non-personally identifiable information through the use of
“cookies,” small text files placed on your computing device.
We use cookies to deliver content specific to users’
activities as part of the Services, such as enabling ease of
log-on to the Services. If you want to refuse cookies, most
web browsers offer a simple procedure to disable cookies.
You may still use the Services even if cookies are refused.
Please note that the information
that We may collect is not limited to text, but may also
include other digital content, including photos, audio,
documents, video and other electronic files you voluntarily
provide to us. The information We retain is used in
accordance with existing laws, rules, regulations, and other
policies.
Use of Your Information
We may use and share amongst
government agencies and partners, depending on the activity
through the Services, personally identifiable information in
order to provide the specific service and to conduct and
complete transactions through the Services. We may use the
personally identifiable information We collect to notify you
about this website and partner-related services, activities
and transactions.
We may also use personally
identifiable information in statistical analysis about usage
of the Services and activities conducted within this
website, to improve the Services and to generate aggregate
reports on trends, user activity and demographics.
Public Disclosure
Unless required by law, We do not
expect to disclose any personally identifiable information
collected online to entities outside of government
departments, agencies and partners for which a service or
transaction is being carried out. Nevertheless, We may
disclose such information in special cases when We have
reason to believe it is necessary to identify, contact or
bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury
to or interfering with (either intentionally or
unintentionally) our rights or property, other users, or
anyone else who could be harmed by such activities. We also
may disclose user information that is considered public
information or an available public record pursuant to
applicable law, or otherwise when We believe in good faith
that the law requires it.
