This Web­site Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy ex­plains how Hern­don & Mer­ry, Inc., do­ing busi­ness as Hern­don & Mer­ry (“Hern­don & Mer­ry”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), uses and pro­tects the data you pro­vide to us when you vis­it when you vis­it the web­site wcpa.me well as any oth­er me­dia form, me­dia chan­nel, mo­bile web­site or mo­bile ap­pli­ca­tion re­lat­ed, linked, or oth­er­wise con­nect­ed there­to (col­lec­tive­ly, the “Web­site”).

We are com­mit­ted to pro­tect­ing your per­son­al in­for­ma­tion and your right to pri­va­cy. If you have any ques­tions or con­cerns about our pol­i­cy and prac­tices with re­gards to your per­son­al in­for­ma­tion, please con­tact us.

When you vis­it the Web­site and use our ser­vices, you trust us with your per­son­al in­for­ma­tion. We take your pri­va­cy very se­ri­ous­ly. In this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy, we seek to ex­plain to you in the clear­est way pos­si­ble what in­for­ma­tion we col­lect, how we use it and what rights you have in re­la­tion to it. We hope you take some time to read through it care­ful­ly, as it is im­por­tant. If there are any terms in this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy that you do not agree with, please dis­con­tin­ue use of the Web­site and our ser­vices.

This Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy ap­plies to all in­for­ma­tion col­lect­ed through the Web­site and any re­lat­ed ser­vices, sales, mar­ket­ing or events (we re­fer to them col­lec­tive­ly in this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy as the “Ser­vices”).

Please read this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy care­ful­ly as it will help you make in­formed de­ci­sions about shar­ing your per­son­al in­for­ma­tion with us.

WHAT IN­FOR­MA­TION DO WE COL­LECT?
In Short:  We col­lect per­son­al in­for­ma­tion that you pro­vide to us.

We col­lect per­son­al in­for­ma­tion that you vol­un­tar­i­ly pro­vide to us when reg­is­ter­ing at the Web­site ex­press­ing an in­ter­est in ob­tain­ing in­for­ma­tion about us or our prod­ucts and ser­vices, when par­tic­i­pat­ing in ac­tiv­i­ties on the Web­site (such as post­ing mes­sages or en­ter­ing com­pe­ti­tions, con­tests or give­aways) or oth­er­wise con­tact­ing us.

The per­son­al in­for­ma­tion that we col­lect de­pends on the con­text of your in­ter­ac­tions with us and the choic­es you make and the prod­ucts and fea­tures you use. All per­son­al in­for­ma­tion that you pro­vide to us must be true, com­plete and ac­cu­rate, and you must no­ti­fy us of any changes to such per­son­al in­for­ma­tion. The per­son­al in­for­ma­tion we col­lect may in­clude the fol­low­ing: 

In­for­ma­tion Au­to­mat­i­cal­ly Col­lect­ed
In Short:   Some in­for­ma­tion — such as IP ad­dress and/or brows­er and de­vice char­ac­ter­is­tics — is col­lect­ed au­to­mat­i­cal­ly when you vis­it the Web­site.

We au­to­mat­i­cal­ly col­lect cer­tain in­for­ma­tion when you vis­it, use or nav­i­gate the Web­site. This in­for­ma­tion does not re­veal your spe­cif­ic iden­ti­ty (like your name or con­tact in­for­ma­tion) but may in­clude de­vice and us­age in­for­ma­tion, such as your IP ad­dress, brows­er and de­vice char­ac­ter­is­tics, op­er­at­ing sys­tem, lan­guage pref­er­ences, re­fer­ring URLs, de­vice name, coun­try, lo­ca­tion, in­for­ma­tion about how and when you use the Web­site and oth­er tech­ni­cal in­for­ma­tion. This in­for­ma­tion is pri­mar­i­ly need­ed to main­tain the se­cu­ri­ty and op­er­a­tion of the Web­site, and for our in­ter­nal an­a­lyt­ics and re­port­ing pur­pos­es. Like many busi­ness­es, we also col­lect in­for­ma­tion through cook­ies and sim­i­lar tech­nolo­gies, for more in­for­ma­tion see “DO WE USE COOK­IES AND OTH­ER TRACK­ING TECH­NOLO­GIES?”

WILL YOUR IN­FOR­MA­TION BE SHARED WITH ANY­ONE?
In Short:  We only share in­for­ma­tion with your con­sent, to com­ply with laws, to pro­vide you with ser­vices, to pro­tect your rights, or to ful­fill busi­ness oblig­a­tions, or as oth­er­wise pro­vid­ed here­in.

We may process or share data based on fol­low­ing le­gal ba­sis:

Con­sent
We may process your data if you have giv­en us spe­cif­ic con­sent to use your per­son­al in­for­ma­tion for a spe­cif­ic pur­pose.

Le­git­i­mate In­ter­ests
We may process your data when it is rea­son­ably nec­es­sary to achieve our le­git­i­mate busi­ness in­ter­ests.

Per­for­mance of a Con­tract
Where we have en­tered into a con­tract with you, we may process your per­son­al in­for­ma­tion to ful­fill the terms of our con­tract.

Le­gal Oblig­a­tions
We may dis­close your in­for­ma­tion where we are legal­ly re­quired to do so in or­der to com­ply with ap­plic­a­ble law, gov­ern­men­tal re­quests, a ju­di­cial pro­ceed­ing, court or­der, or le­gal process, such as in re­sponse to a court or­der or a sub­poe­na (in­clud­ing in re­sponse to pub­lic au­thor­i­ties to meet na­tion­al se­cu­ri­ty or law en­force­ment re­quire­ments).

Vi­tal In­ter­ests
We may dis­close your in­for­ma­tion where we be­lieve it is nec­es­sary to in­ves­ti­gate, pre­vent, or take ac­tion re­gard­ing po­ten­tial vi­o­la­tions of our poli­cies, sus­pect­ed fraud, sit­u­a­tions in­volv­ing po­ten­tial threats to the safe­ty of any per­son or il­le­gal ac­tiv­i­ties, or as ev­i­dence in lit­i­ga­tion in which we are in­volved.

More specif­i­cal­ly, we may need to process your data or share your per­son­al in­for­ma­tion in the fol­low­ing sit­u­a­tions:

Ven­dors, Con­sul­tants and Oth­er Third-Par­ty Ser­vice Providers
We may share your data with third par­ty ven­dors, ser­vice providers, con­trac­tors or agents who per­form ser­vices for us or on our be­half and re­quire ac­cess to such in­for­ma­tion to do that work. Ex­am­ples in­clude: pay­ment pro­cess­ing, data analy­sis, email de­liv­ery, host­ing ser­vices, cus­tomer ser­vice and mar­ket­ing ef­forts. We may al­low se­lect­ed third par­ties to use track­ing tech­nol­o­gy on the Web­site, which will en­able them to col­lect data about how you in­ter­act over time. This in­for­ma­tion may be used to, among oth­er things, an­a­lyze and track data, de­ter­mine the pop­u­lar­i­ty of cer­tain con­tent and bet­ter un­der­stand on­line ac­tiv­i­ty. Un­less de­scribed in this Pol­i­cy, we do not share, sell, rent or trade any of your in­for­ma­tion with third par­ties for their pro­mo­tion­al pur­pos­es.

Busi­ness Trans­fers
We may share or trans­fer your in­for­ma­tion in con­nec­tion with, or dur­ing ne­go­ti­a­tions of, any merg­er, sale of com­pa­ny as­sets, fi­nanc­ing, or ac­qui­si­tion of all or a por­tion of our busi­ness to an­oth­er com­pa­ny.

Third-Par­ty Ad­ver­tis­ers
We may use third-par­ty ad­ver­tis­ing com­pa­nies to serve ads when you vis­it the Web­site. These com­pa­nies may use in­for­ma­tion about your vis­its to the Web­site and oth­er web­sites that are con­tained in web cook­ies and oth­er track­ing tech­nolo­gies in or­der to pro­vide ad­ver­tise­ments about goods and ser­vices of in­ter­est to you.

Af­fil­i­ates
We may share your in­for­ma­tion with our af­fil­i­ates, in which case we will re­quire those af­fil­i­ates to hon­or this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy.  Af­fil­i­ates in­clude our com­pa­ny and any sub­sidiaries, joint ven­ture part­ners or oth­er com­pa­nies that we con­trol or that are un­der com­mon con­trol with us.

Busi­ness Part­ners
We may share your in­for­ma­tion with our busi­ness part­ners to of­fer you cer­tain prod­ucts, ser­vices or pro­mo­tions.

Oth­er Users
When you share per­son­al in­for­ma­tion or oth­er­wise in­ter­act with pub­lic ar­eas of the Web­site, such per­son­al in­for­ma­tion may be viewed by all users and may be pub­licly dis­trib­uted out­side in per­pe­tu­ity. If you in­ter­act with oth­er users of the Web­site and reg­is­ter through a so­cial net­work (such as Face­book), your con­tacts on the so­cial net­work may see your name, pro­file pho­to, and de­scrip­tions of your ac­tiv­i­ty. Sim­i­lar­ly, oth­er users may be able to view de­scrip­tions of your ac­tiv­i­ty, com­mu­ni­cate with you with­in the Web­site, and view your pro­file.


DO WE USE COOK­IES AND OTH­ER TRACK­ING TECH­NOLO­GIES?
In Short:  We may use cook­ies and oth­er track­ing tech­nolo­gies to col­lect and store your in­for­ma­tion. 

Cook­ies
We may use first and third par­ty cook­ies along with sim­i­lar track­ing tech­nolo­gies (like web bea­cons and pix­els) to col­lect and store per­son­al in­for­ma­tion, or data that be­comes per­son­al in­for­ma­tion if we com­bine it with oth­er in­for­ma­tion. Some cook­ies are re­quired for tech­ni­cal rea­sons in or­der for the Web­site to op­er­ate and oth­er cook­ies en­able us to track and tar­get the in­ter­ests of our users to en­hance the ex­pe­ri­ence on the Web­site. Third par­ties may serve cook­ies through the Web­site for an­a­lyt­ics and oth­er pur­pos­es. 

Web Bea­cons
Some­times called “track­ing pix­els” or “clear gifs”, web bea­cons are tiny graph­ics files that con­tain a unique iden­ti­fi­er that en­able us to rec­og­nize when some­one has vis­it­ed our Web­sites or opened an e‑mail in­clud­ing them. This al­lows us, for ex­am­ple, to mon­i­tor the traf­fic pat­terns of users from one page with­in a web­site to an­oth­er, to de­liv­er or com­mu­ni­cate with cook­ies, to un­der­stand whether you have come to the web­site from an on­line ad­ver­tise­ment dis­played on a third-par­ty web­site, to im­prove site per­for­mance, and to mea­sure the suc­cess of e‑mail mar­ket­ing cam­paigns. In many in­stances, these tech­nolo­gies are re­liant on cook­ies to func­tion prop­er­ly, and so de­clin­ing cook­ies will im­pair their func­tion­ing.

How Can I Con­trol Cook­ies?
You can set or amend your web brows­er con­trols to ac­cept or refuse cook­ies. As the means by which you can refuse cook­ies through your web brows­er con­trols vary from brows­er-to-brows­er, you should vis­it your browser’s help menu for more in­for­ma­tion.
 

IS YOUR IN­FOR­MA­TION TRANS­FERRED IN­TER­NA­TION­AL­LY?
In Short:  We may trans­fer, store, and process your in­for­ma­tion in coun­tries oth­er than your own. 

The Web­site is host­ed in the cloud on se­cure data cen­ters through­out the Unit­ed States and oth­er strate­gic lo­ca­tions around the world. Please be aware that your in­for­ma­tion may be trans­ferred to, stored, and processed by us in our fa­cil­i­ties and by those third par­ties with whom we may share your per­son­al in­for­ma­tion (see “WILL YOUR IN­FOR­MA­TION BE SHARED WITH ANY­ONE?” ), in and oth­er coun­tries.

All nec­es­sary mea­sures to pro­tect your per­son­al in­for­ma­tion have been tak­en, in ac­cor­dance with this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy and ap­plic­a­ble law. 

WHAT IS OUR STANCE ON THIRD-PAR­TY WEB­SITES?
In Short:  We are not re­spon­si­ble for the safe­ty of any in­for­ma­tion that you share with third-par­ty providers who ad­ver­tise, but are not af­fil­i­at­ed with, the Web­site.

The Web­site may con­tain ad­ver­tise­ments from third par­ties that are not af­fil­i­at­ed with us and which may link to oth­er web­sites, on­line ser­vices or mo­bile ap­pli­ca­tions. We can­not guar­an­tee the safe­ty and pri­va­cy of data you pro­vide to any third par­ties. Any data col­lect­ed by third par­ties is not cov­ered by this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy. We are not re­spon­si­ble for the con­tent or pri­va­cy and se­cu­ri­ty prac­tices and poli­cies of any third par­ties, in­clud­ing oth­er web­sites, ser­vices or ap­pli­ca­tions that may be linked to or from the Web­site. You should re­view the poli­cies of such third par­ties and con­tact them di­rect­ly to re­spond to your ques­tions.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR IN­FOR­MA­TION?
In Short:  We keep your in­for­ma­tion for as long as nec­es­sary to ful­fill the pur­pos­es out­lined in this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy un­less oth­er­wise re­quired by law.

We will only keep your per­son­al in­for­ma­tion for as long as it is nec­es­sary for the pur­pos­es set out in this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy, un­less a longer re­ten­tion pe­ri­od is re­quired or per­mit­ted by law (such as tax, ac­count­ing or oth­er le­gal re­quire­ments). When we have no on­go­ing le­git­i­mate busi­ness need to process your per­son­al in­for­ma­tion, we will ei­ther delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not pos­si­ble (for ex­am­ple, be­cause your per­son­al in­for­ma­tion has been stored in back­up archives), then we will se­cure­ly store your per­son­al in­for­ma­tion and iso­late it from any fur­ther pro­cess­ing un­til dele­tion is pos­si­ble.

DO WE COL­LECT IN­FOR­MA­TION FROM MI­NORS?
In Short:  We do not know­ing­ly col­lect data from or mar­ket to chil­dren un­der 18 years of age. We do not know­ing­ly so­lic­it data from or mar­ket to chil­dren un­der 18 years of age. By us­ing the Web­site, you rep­re­sent that you are at least 18 or that you are the par­ent or guardian of such a mi­nor and con­sent to such mi­nor dependent’s use of the Web­site. If we learn that per­son­al in­for­ma­tion from users less than 18 years of age has been col­lect­ed, we will de­ac­ti­vate the ac­count and take rea­son­able mea­sures to prompt­ly delete such data from our records.

WHAT ARE YOUR PRI­VA­CY RIGHTS?
In Short:  You may re­view, change, or ter­mi­nate your ac­count at any time.

Ac­count In­for­ma­tion
If you would at any time like to re­view or change the in­for­ma­tion in your ac­count or ter­mi­nate your ac­count, you can:

Upon your re­quest to ter­mi­nate your ac­count, we will de­ac­ti­vate or delete your ac­count and in­for­ma­tion from our ac­tive data­bas­es. How­ev­er, some in­for­ma­tion may be re­tained in our files to pre­vent fraud, trou­bleshoot prob­lems, as­sist with any in­ves­ti­ga­tions, en­force our Terms of Use and/or com­ply with le­gal re­quire­ments.

Opt­ing Out of Email Mar­ket­ing
You can un­sub­scribe from our mar­ket­ing email list at any time by click­ing on the un­sub­scribe link in the emails that we send or by con­tact­ing us us­ing the de­tails pro­vid­ed be­low. You will then be re­moved from the mar­ket­ing email list – how­ev­er, we will still need to send you ser­vice-re­lat­ed emails that are nec­es­sary for the ad­min­is­tra­tion and use of your ac­count. To oth­er­wise opt-out, you may con­tact us.

CON­TROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEA­TURES
Most web browsers and some mo­bile op­er­at­ing sys­tems and mo­bile ap­pli­ca­tions in­clude a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) fea­ture or set­ting you can ac­ti­vate to sig­nal your pri­va­cy pref­er­ence not to have data about your on­line brows­ing ac­tiv­i­ties mon­i­tored and col­lect­ed. No uni­form tech­nol­o­gy stan­dard for rec­og­niz­ing and im­ple­ment­ing DNT sig­nals has been fi­nal­ized. As such, we do not cur­rent­ly re­spond to DNT brows­er sig­nals or any oth­er mech­a­nism that au­to­mat­i­cal­ly com­mu­ni­cates your choice not to be tracked on­line. If a stan­dard for on­line track­ing is adopt­ed that we must fol­low in the fu­ture, we will in­form you about that prac­tice in a re­vised ver­sion of this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy. 

DO CAL­I­FOR­NIA RES­I­DENTS HAVE SPE­CIF­IC PRI­VA­CY RIGHTS?
In Short:  Yes, if you are a res­i­dent of Cal­i­for­nia, you are grant­ed spe­cif­ic rights re­gard­ing ac­cess to your per­son­al in­for­ma­tion.

Cal­i­for­nia Civ­il Code Sec­tion 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, per­mits our users who are Cal­i­for­nia res­i­dents to re­quest and ob­tain from us, once a year and free of charge, in­for­ma­tion about cat­e­gories of per­son­al in­for­ma­tion (if any) we dis­closed to third par­ties for di­rect mar­ket­ing pur­pos­es and the names and ad­dress­es of all third par­ties with which we shared per­son­al in­for­ma­tion in the im­me­di­ate­ly pre­ced­ing cal­en­dar year. If you are a Cal­i­for­nia res­i­dent and would like to make such a re­quest, please sub­mit your re­quest in writ­ing to us us­ing the con­tact in­for­ma­tion pro­vid­ed be­low.

If you are un­der 18 years of age, re­side in Cal­i­for­nia, and have a reg­is­tered ac­count with the Web­site, you have the right to re­quest re­moval of un­want­ed data that you pub­licly post on the Web­site. To re­quest re­moval of such data, please con­tact us us­ing the con­tact in­for­ma­tion pro­vid­ed be­low, and in­clude the email ad­dress as­so­ci­at­ed with your ac­count and a state­ment that you re­side in Cal­i­for­nia. We will make sure the data is not pub­licly dis­played on the Web­site, but please be aware that the data may not be com­plete­ly or com­pre­hen­sive­ly re­moved from our sys­tems.

DO WE MAKE UP­DATES TO THIS POL­I­CY?
In Short:  Yes, we will up­date this pol­i­cy as nec­es­sary to stay com­pli­ant with rel­e­vant laws.

We may up­date this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy from time to time. The up­dat­ed ver­sion will be in­di­cat­ed by an up­dat­ed “Re­vised” date and the up­dat­ed ver­sion will be ef­fec­tive as soon as it is ac­ces­si­ble. If we make ma­te­r­i­al changes to this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy, we may no­ti­fy you ei­ther by promi­nent­ly post­ing a no­tice of such changes or by di­rect­ly send­ing you a no­ti­fi­ca­tion. We en­cour­age you to re­view this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy fre­quent­ly to be in­formed of how we are pro­tect­ing your in­for­ma­tion.
