A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web.

In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web, allowing web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet. Further, purchasing Applications for mobile devices as an aspect of the Site and Services may involve access to the same information if/when it is demanded and tracked.

Storage
Your Personally Identifiable Information is not stored by WSV. WSV does not store information on its own servers. WSV utilizes the assistance of Google’s Gmail servers, Squarespace, and other third-party vendors to assist with delivery of email and data stored on those third-party providers. Therefore, please review the terms and conditions and policies of data security and storage with those third parties to determine how secure and consistent with current industry standards those storage methods are. The importance of security for all Personally Identifiable Information associated with our users is of utmost concern to us and we rely on those third parties to comply with the law.
In order to most efficiently serve you, credit card transactions and order fulfillment are handled by established third party banking, processing agents and distribution institutions – none of that information is taken by or stored by WSV. They receive the information needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other payment information and to process and ship your order. WSV utilizes third parties like Quickbooks to process your payment transactions and it, not WSV, receives and stores the payment data and other forms of your payment data and personally identifiable information related thereto in accordance with its own privacy policy terms – for which you will be subject to the terms and conditions of those third party payment platforms.
Unfortunately, no security system or data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information and cannot assume liability for improper access to it. The internet is not a secure medium and you acknowledge and agree that the privacy of your e-mail communications and Personally Identifiable Information can never be guaranteed as any email communication, order, purchase, or posting may be lost, intercepted, altered, or hacked. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personally Identifiable Information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this site cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party. Moreover, as indicated above, you are subject to the privacy and data security terms and conditions of third parties when you access those sites and engage in any monetary transactions through the use of those third parties, even if there is a business relationship or business affiliation with Company.
Further, in the event any of our Site and Services are connected in any way to “hyperlinks” to other websites, you acknowledge and agree that Company makes no representation, warranty, covenant, or claim regarding Company, and Company expressly disclaims and denies any responsibility or liability for, directly or indirectly, the privacy practices on any third-party website or resources accessible by hyperlink form from any of our Site and Services. You agree that the inclusion of any such hyperlink does not suggest, represent, warrant, covenant or imply that Company monitors, endorses, or exerts any control over such Site and Services whatsoever. You agree that Company provides these hyperlinks to you, if any, only as a convenience, and the inclusion of any hyperlink does not suggest, represent, warrant, covenant or imply affiliation, endorsement, ownership, or adoption by Company of any such website or linked resource whatsoever.

If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please email us or write us at the address noted below. The California Online Privacy Protection Act (“CalOPPA”) requires WSV to disclose how it responds to ‘Do Not Track’ signals set in a user’s browser. WSV supports Do No Track browser settings. If you enable Do Not Track privacy settings in the browser you are using, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to stop collecting the information that allows us to tailor the website to user preferences based on users recent use of this website and its services.

Further, nothing in this provision shall be construed to limit the authority of a law enforcement agency to obtain the applicable content or information.
Further, effective January 2020, for the purposes of the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA"), this statute was put into legal effect. WSV shall not be considered a Business and/or Third Party, as applicable under the CCPA at that time. Where this status changes and WSV acts as a Business and/or Third Party, you represent, warrant and covenant that all Personal Information provided or otherwise made available to WSV is done so in compliance with applicable law, and that it has provided all necessary and appropriate notices and opt-outs, and otherwise has all necessary and appropriate rights, to enable WSV to (i) share any and all Personal Information you provided with WSV and any parent, subsidiary, affiliate, or related company of the WSV Group Companies, and (ii) use any such Personal Information in connection with any and all WSV Group Companies' internal operations and functions, including, but not limited to, improving such WSV Group Companies' products and/or services, operational analytics and reporting, internal financial reporting and analysis, audit functions and archival purposes.
