Privacy Policy:

wotnext operates wotnext.uk and may operate other websites. It is wotnext’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, wotnext collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. wotnext’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how wotnext’s visitors use its website. From time to time, wotnext may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

wotnext also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on wotnext blogs/sites. wotnext only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to wotnext’s websites may choose to interact with wotnext in ways that require wotnext to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that wotnext gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, in a future facility, we will ask visitors who sign up at the site to provide a username and email address. wotnext collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with wotnext. wotnext does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

wotnext may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its websites. wotnext may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, wotnext does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

wotnext discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on wotnext’s behalf or to provide services available at wotnext’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using wotnext’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. wotnext will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, wotnext discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when wotnext believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of wotnext, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an wotnext website and have supplied your email address, wotnext may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with wotnext and our products. You can elect not to receive such emails. We will not use text messages, phone calls, or paper correspondence.

If you send us a request for information (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish the request anonymously in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. wotnext takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Business Transfers

If wotnext, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that wotnext goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of wotnext may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by wotnext and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers. If you are not happy with advertisers holding cookies, then you should not use the site.
