Your privacy is very
important to us. We want to make
your experience on the Internet as
enjoyable and rewarding as
possible, and we want you to use
the Internet’s vast array of
information, tools, and
opportunities with complete
confidence.
WVCNet has
created this Privacy Policy to
demonstrate our firm commitment to
privacy and security. This Privacy
Policy describes how WVCNet
collects information
from users of WVCNet
services (the “Services”),
how we use the information we
collect and the choices you have
concerning the collection and use
of such information. Please read
this Privacy Policy carefully.
Collection and Use of
Information
Customers are asked to provide
certain information when they sign
up for our Services such as name,
address, telephone number, billing
information (such as a credit card
number), and the type of personal
computer being used to access the
Services. The personal information
collected from Customers during
the registration process is used
to manage each Member’s account
(such as billing and collections).
WVCNet may share
collected information with select
affiliates in order to provide
WVCNet services to
our Customers. Affiliates will not
be allowed to use any information
provided in serving our customers
to be sold, rented, or given to
any other company. Affiliates are
not allowed to use WVCNet
data for any other purpose
other than WVCNet approved
programs designed to better serve
Customers.
In instances where WVCNet
and an affiliate
jointly promote the Services,
WVCNet may provide
the affiliate certain personal
information, as a result of the
joint promotion. In this instance,
the information may not be used by
the affiliate for any other
purpose. WVCNet
may also generate aggregate
profiles from information provided
during registration (such as the
total number, but not the names,
of Customers). We may use this
aggregated and non-identifying
information to sell advertisements
that appear on the Services.
We use registration information
to contact you in a variety of
ways. We may send you offers
through email, phone or regular
mail of WVCNet products
and services or offers on behalf
of selected affiliates. Customers
will also receive administrative
and service emails from WVCNet
.
Other than time online and
bandwidth usage,
WVCNet does
not track the specific use of our
services by our customers.
WVCNet
Affiliates and
Sponsors
Some WVCNet products
and services are offered to
Customers in conjunction with a
third-party vendor. To provide
these products and services, the
vendor may need to collect and
maintain your personal information
the extent necessary to provide
those services.
Online Shopping
At some web sites, you can
purchase products and services or
register to receive materials,
such as a catalog or new product
and service updates. In many
cases, you may be asked to provide
contact information, such as your
name, address, email address,
phone number, and credit/debit
card information. If you complete
an order for someone else, such as
an online gift order sent directly
to a recipient, you may be asked
to provide information about the
recipient, such as the recipient’s
name, address, and phone number.
WVCNet has no
control over third-party web sites
and their use of any personal
information you provide when
placing such an order. Please
exercise care when doing so.
Special Cases

policy not to use or share the
personal information in ways
unrelated to the ones described
above without also providing an
opportunity to opt out or
otherwise prohibit such unrelated
uses. However, WVCNet

for any reason, in our sole
discretion, we believe that it is
reasonable to do so, including: to
satisfy laws, regulations or other
legal requests for such
information; to disclose
information that is necessary to
identify, contact or bring legal
action against someone who may be
violating our Acceptable Use
