We collect Personal Data from you when you voluntarily provide such information, such as when you contact us with inquiries, respond to our surveys, register for access to the Wonder Services or use certain Wonder Services. Wherever Wonder collects Personal Data we make an effort to provide a link to this Privacy Policy.

​Other Information:

Non-Identifiable Data:

When you interact with Wonder through the Application and/or the Site, we receive and store certain personally non-identifiable information. Such information is collected passively using various technologies and, unless aggregated with other data in our databases, cannot be used to specifically identify you. Wonder may store such information itself or such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by Wonder affiliates, agents or service providers. The Application and/or the Site may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of users of our Application and/or the Site, usage behaviors with our Application and/or the Site, or browsing patterns.

Aggregated Personal Data:

In an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of the Wonder Services, Wonder often conducts research on its customer demographics, interests and behavior based on the Personal Data and other information provided to us. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis, and Wonder may share this aggregate data with its affiliates, agents and business partners. This aggregate information does not identify you personally. Wonder may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.

Our Use of Your Personal Data and Other Information

Wonder uses the Personal Data you provide in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personal Data for a certain reason, we may use the Personal Data in connection with the reason for which it was provided. For instance, if you contact us by e-mail, we will use the Personal Data you provide to answer your question or resolve your problem. Also, if you provide Personal Data in order to obtain access to the Wonder Services, we will use your Personal Data to provide you with access to such Services and to monitor your use of such Services. Wonder and its subsidiaries and affiliates (the “Related Companies”) may also use your Personal Data and other personally non-identifiable information collected through the Application and/or the Site to help us improve the content and functionality of the Application and/or the Site, to better understand our users and to improve the Wonder Services. Wonder and its affiliates may use this information to contact you in the future to tell you about services we believe will be of interest to you. If we do so, each communication we send you will contain instructions permitting you to "opt-out" of receiving future communications. In addition, if at any time you wish not to receive any future communications or you wish to have your name deleted from our mailing lists, please contact us as indicated below.

If Wonder intends on using any Personal Data in any manner that is not consistent with this Privacy Policy, you will be informed of such anticipated use prior to or at the time at which the Personal Data is collected.

Our Disclosure of Your Personal Data and Other Information

Wonder is not in the business of selling your information.

Business Transfers:

As we develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar event, Personal Data may be part of the transferred assets.

We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children never to provide Personal Data on the Site without their permission.

Links to Other Web Sites

This Privacy Policy applies only to the Site. The Site may contain links to other web sites not operated or controlled by Wonder or its Related Companies (the “Third Party Sites”). The policies and procedures we described here do not apply to the Third Party Sites. The links from the Site do not imply that Wonder endorses or has reviewed the Third Party Sites. We suggest contacting those sites directly for information on their privacy policies.

Social Media

Through the Application and/or the Site, you may be able to access certain social media websites and services that are owned and/or controlled by third parties (including, without limitation, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn) (such websites and services, collectively, the “Social Media Services”). When you elect to access and use the Social Media Services, you will be sharing your information (which will include personal information if you elect to share such information) with those Social Media Services. As with other Third Party Sites, the information that you share with the Social Media Services will be governed by the privacy policies and terms of service of the providers of such Social Media Services and not by the policies and procedures we describe here. You may also be able to modify your privacy settings with these Social Media Services to, for example, control what information the Social Media Services disclose to other entities, including Wonder. When you add Social Media Service accounts to Wonder Services or log into the Application and/or the Site using your Social Media Services account, we will collect relevant information necessary to enable the Site to access that Social Media Service, however you will provide your login information, like your password, directly to such Social Media Service (and not to Wonder).
