Our Commitment
This privacy policy has been developed as an extension of WCM’s commitment to conduct all of its interactions and events with the highest level of integrity in dealing with the public and its members.

Scope
This policy guides how WCM collects, stores, and uses information that is both collected by WCM or provided to WCM, whether through its website or by other methods including applications, registrations or other means. This statement does not cover outside websites that are linked to or from the WCM website.

Automatic Collection of Information
If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the WCM website, read pages, or download information, certain information about your visit will be gathered and stored automatically. This information does not identify you personally. WCM uses this information to help make our site more useful to visitors, to learn about the number of visitors to our site, and to determine the types of technology our visitors use. We do assign session "cookies" to your computer that allow us to recognize your computer and make your experience more convenient.

Use of Information
If you choose to provide us with personal information, such as your name and address, when registering for our programs or other means, WCM may use that information for billing purposes, to send information to you, to respond to you, and for other purposes related to the reason you provided the information to WCM. For example, if you are a member, WCM may use the information you provide us to process your application, maintain your membership, send information to you and respond to you.

WCM collects information, such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address, and telephone number. If you are applying for membership with WCM, we may also collect information about your education, job description and employer.

WCM is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. WCM uses advanced security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.

WCM commits to not knowingly release your personal information to external organizations without your approval, other than companies that process your credit card if you register for any events or if you apply to become a WCM member, or to other organizations as required by applicable laws or regulations

By becoming a member of WCM, you have consented to the release of your work related information on the members–only section of the WCM website.

Opting Out of the Release of Your Personal Information
If you do not wish WCM to release your personal information to third parties, please send a written request in which you identify yourself and clearly state your preference that WCM not release your information to one or more of the individuals or entities listed above. Please do the same if you wish your name to be removed from the WCM email mailing list.

Send your request by mail or by email to:

If you choose to opt out, please be aware that WCM will not be able to fulfill some of your requests. For example, in order to process a registration fee charged to your credit card, WCM must send your credit card information to a credit card processing company.

E-mail Outside Links
As a convenience to our users, WCM’s website contains links to sites or services created and maintained by other organizations. Please note that WCM does not control, and is not responsible for, the accuracy, timeliness, security, or even the continued availability or existence of this outside information.

You should contact these entities or companies directly if you have any questions about their use of the information they collect.

Notification of Changes
If we are going to use your personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, we will notify you via e-mail. You will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in this different manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our website notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post the notice we will also e-mail users who have opted to receive communications from us to notify them of the changes in our privacy practices.
