How does WyzAnt protect my personal financial information? Keeping your personal financial information private is vitally important to us. As with all personal information, WyzAnt will never rent or sell your personal financial information. Knowing that you use certain services or features may help us to offer you better and more relevant content and advertisements. But as with all personally identifiable information, we do not make this available to any third parties without your permission. Please note that there may be places on the WyzAnt network of Web sites where you can transmit credit card information in order to complete a purchase transaction or for verification purposes. Any time we ask for a credit card number we transmit that credit card number in an encrypted format. We use industry-standard, SSL (secure socket layer) encryption. 8. What security precautions are in place to protect the loss, misuse, or alteration of my information? Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, WyzAnt cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. 9. What about children's privacy? Naturally, the safety of children is very important to us. Children should always ask a parent for permission before sending personal information to WyzAnt, or to anyone online for that matter. WyzAnt does not share personal information about users under the age of 13 with third parties and we do not sell or rent personal information about any of our users, regardless of age. In addition, WyzAnt will not send any direct email offers to users who indicate they are under the age of 13 without first obtaining their parents' permission. 10. What else should I know about my privacy? Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example on message boards, through email, or in chat areas - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any registration information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online. 11.
