CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for
recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, WWC does 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, WWC will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.

Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of a Consumer's Privacy Rights
We will not discriminate against you if you exercise your privacy rights.
Verification process
Upon receiving your request, WWC will need to verify your identity to determine you are the same person about whom we have
the information in our system. These verification efforts require us to ask you to provide information so that we can match it with information you
have previously provided us. For instance, depending on the type of request you submit, we may ask you to provide certain information so that we can
match the information you provide with the information we already have on file, or we may contact you through a communication method (e.g., phone or
email) that you have previously provided to us. We may also use other verification methods as the circumstances dictate.
WWC will only use Personal Information provided in your request to verify your identity or authority to make the request.
To the extent possible, we will avoid requesting additional information from you for the purposes of verification. However, if we cannot verify your
identity from the information already maintained by us, we may request that you provide additional information for the purposes of verifying your
identity and for security or fraud-prevention purposes. We will delete such additionally provided information as soon as we finish verifying you.
Other privacy rights
Other privacy may apply as follows:
- You may object to the processing of your Personal Information.
- You may request correction of your Personal Information if it is incorrect or no longer relevant, or ask to restrict the processing of the information.
- You can designate an authorized agent to make a request under the CCPA on your behalf. We may deny a request from an authorized agent that does
not submit proof that they have been validly authorized to act on your behalf in accordance with the CCPA.
- If applicable, you may request to opt out from future selling of your Personal information to third parties. Upon receiving an opt-out request,
WWC will act upon the request as soon as feasibly possible, but no later than fifteen (15) days from the date of the request
submission.
To exercise these rights, you can contact us by using the contact information provided in the Section HOW CAN YOU
CONTACT WWC? below. If you have a complaint about how we handle your data, we would like to hear from you.
Financial Incentives
"Financial incentive" means a program, benefit, or other offering, including payments to consumers as compensation, for the disclosure, deletion,
or sale of Personal Information.
The law permits financial incentives or a price or service difference if it is reasonably related to the value of the consumer's data. A business
must be able to explain how the financial incentive or price or service difference is reasonably related to the value of the consumer's data. The
explanation must include:
- a good-faith estimate of the value of the consumer's data that forms the basis for offering the financial incentive or price or service difference; and
- a description of the method the business used to calculate the value of the consumer's data.
In the future, WWC may decide to offer a financial incentive (e.g., price or service difference) in exchange for the retention
or sale of a consumer's Personal Information. If we decide to offer a financial incentive, we will notify you of such financial incentive and explain the
price difference, as well as material terms of the financial incentive or price of service difference, including the categories of Personal Information
that are implicated by the financial incentive or price or service difference. If you choose to participate in the financial incentive you can withdraw
from the financial incentive at any time by emailing us by using the contact information provided in the Section HOW CAN YOU
CONTACT WWC? below.
