Use of Aggregated Data

and services. We monitor aggregated data regarding use of the Site for marketing
purposes and to study, improve and promote use of the Site. In connection with
such purposes, WRL may share aggregated data with third parties collectively and
in an anonymous way. Disclosure of aggregated data does not reveal personal
information about individual Site users in any way that identifies who they are
or how to contact them.
Exceptions to the Privacy Policy
WRL has two exceptions to these limits on use of personal information:
- WRL may monitor and, when we believe in good faith that disclosure is required, disclose information to protect the security, property, assets and/or rights of Company from unauthorized use, or misuse, of the Site or anything found at the Site.
- WRL may disclose information when required by law; however, only to the extent necessary and in a manner that seeks to maintain the privacy of the individual.
Use of Cookies
To enable features at the Site, WRL may assign one or more "cookies" to your Internet
browser. Cookies, among other things, speed navigation through our Site, keep track
of information so that you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit our Site,
and may provide you with customized content. A cookie is an Internet mechanism composed
of a small text file containing a unique identification number that permits a web server
to send small pieces of information or text by means of your browser and place them on
your computer's hard drive for storage. This text lets the web server know if you have
previously visited the web page. Cookies by themselves cannot be used to find out the
identity of any user.
We use cookies to collect and maintain aggregated data (such as the number of visitors)
to help us see which areas are most popular with our users and improve and update the
content on our site. While in the process of browsing our site, you also provide us
with information that doesn't reveal your personal identity -- what type of destination
you're exploring, for example. We use this aggregated data only as explained in this
Privacy Policy. We do not connect aggregated data to any name, address, or other
identifying information.
You may occasionally receive cookies from unaffiliated companies or organizations, to
the extent they place advertising on our Site or are linked to the Site. These third-party
cookies may collect information about you when you "click" on their advertising or
content or link. This practice is standard in the Internet industry. Because of the
way in which the Internet operates, we cannot control collection of this information
by these third parties, and these cookies are not subject to this Privacy Policy.
Children's Privacy & Parental Consent
Please be aware that WRL has not designed this Site for, and does not intend for
it to be used by, anyone under age 18. Accordingly, this Site should not be used
by anyone under age 18. Our privacy policy prohibits us from accepting users who
are under the age of 18. Company specifically requests that persons under the age
of 18 not use this Site or submit or post information to the Site. Should Company
inadvertently acquire personal information or other data from users under the age
of 18, Company will not knowingly provide this data to any third party for any
purpose whatsoever, and any subsequent disclosure would be due to the fact the
user under age 18 used the Site and submitted personal information without solicitation
by or permission from Company.
Links Provided To Other Sites
WRL may provide links to a number of other web sites that we believe might offer
you useful information and services. However, those sites may not follow the same
privacy policies as WRL. Therefore, we are not responsible for the privacy policies
or the actions of any third parties, including without limitation, any web site
owners whose sites may be reached through this Site, nor can we control the activities
of those web sites. We urge you to contact the relevant parties controlling these
sites or accessing their on-line policies for the relevant information about their
data collection practices before submitting any personal information or other
sensitive data.

Policy relieves Company from responsibility to the user.
