EMBEDDED CONTENT FROM OTHER WEBSITES
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

WHO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH
WHO does not sell, rent or disclose our client’s names, addresses, email addresses or other personal information to any WHO entity. Further, in order to maintain our website, to manage our database, to distribute e-mails and to provide client communications, WHO contracts with selected third parties. As necessary, the personal information you provide to us may be processed by these third parties, solely on WHO’s behalf but we do not authorize any of these service providers to make any other use of your information.

We do not otherwise disclose your information to third parties, unless we are required to do so by law or in connection with a legal claim or proceeding. If WHO is acquired by another entity or is merged or consolidated, information about WHO’s customers may be made available to the new entity. However, the new entity will agree to protect the confidentiality of your personal information consistent with this Privacy Policy.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR DATA
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
