All such providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are only permitted to use your data for the specified purposes.

Should wow8 undergo a merger, acquisition or asset sale, user personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction. You will be notified in advance and your rights under this Privacy Policy will continue to be protected.
WOW8 does not share your personal data with third-party advertisers or marketing companies without your explicit consent.
