This Privacy Policy governs The World from A to Z, which is owned by WORLD News Group (“WNG”), and the web site worldatoz.org (“the Site”). Your privacy is important to us, and this Privacy Policy Notice explains our practices and the options you have concerning the way your personal information is collected and used by the Site.
The Information We Collect
The Site may collect personally identifiable information when a visitor requests to receive emails from the Site. The types of personally identifiable information that may be collected include, but are not limited to, name and email address.
When you submit your personally identifiable information on the Site, you are giving your consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information as set forth in this Privacy Policy Notice.
How We Use the Information
The Site may use the information you provide about yourself to fulfill your requests for our products, programs, and services; to respond to your inquiries about these offerings; and to offer you other products, programs, or services that we believe may be of interest to you.
WNG sometimes uses this information to fulfill a request by you for an online newsletter which may include a message for a sponsor or advertiser. However, WNG does not sell or rent to other companies the email addresses of the contacts collected on the Site.
If you choose to submit content for publication (e.g., a "letter to our editors"), WNG may publish your name, city, state, country, and other information you have provided to us.
WNG will disclose information we maintain when required to do so by law, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena. WNG may also disclose such information in response to a law enforcement agency's request.
Agents and contractors of the Site and WORLD News Group who have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy Notice by, for example, not using the information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for the Site and WORLD News Group.
We may transfer your personally identifiable information to other WORLD News Group divisions for internal management, administrative, and marketing purposes. Your personal data will be transferred to other WNG offices where necessary for the performance or conclusion of our contractual obligations to you or for your benefit. This would include transfers to the parent corporation, God’s World Publications (“GWP”). Transfers of personally identifiable information also may be made where necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy Notice. Inadvertent disclosures may result, for example, when third parties misrepresent their identities in asking the the Site for access to personally identifiable information about themselves for purposes of correcting possible factual errors in the data.
Email Newsletters
When you request a free email newsletter from us, we will collect and store your email address to provide you with the requested newsletter. We may also send you occasional special offers and information from WNG and other select sources we think would be of interest to you. You may change your subscribed email address, opt-out of receiving special email offers, or remove yourself from any mailing list by following the instructions contained in every newsletter, by visiting our email preferences page, or contacting techsupport@wng.org.
