Privacy Policy

The WGI Worldwide Company (“WGI,” “we”, “us” or “our”) takes the privacy of those using our services very seriously and is committed to protecting your personal information.  This Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) discloses our privacy practices with respect to our collection and use of Personal Information (defined below) on our Lyra Application and any other media form, media channel, online website or mobile website (“Site”), or mobile application related, linked or otherwise connected thereto (the “App”) (collectively, our “Services”). 

PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY.  THIS PRIVACY POLICY, ALONG WITH OUR TERMS OF USE, WHICH IS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE IN ITS ENTIRETY, CONSTITUTE A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND WGI THAT CONDITIONS YOUR USE OF THE APP.  BY USING, ACCESSING, OR DOWNLOADING THE APP, YOU SIGNIFY YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND THE TERMS OF WGI’S TERMS OF USE, WHERE AND AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW[1] .  PLEASE DO NOT PROVIDE US ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION OR ACCESS OR USE OUR WEB SITE FOR ANY PURPOSE IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND TERMS OF USE.  WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE OR LIMIT YOUR ACCESS TO OUR WEB SITE.  

We respect all of our users’ privacy, but we recognize the need to provide additional privacy protections with respect to the personal information we collect from children under 13.  Accordingly, our specific privacy practices with respect to children under 13 are set forth more fully below.

A special note to Children:  If you are under 13, please get a parent or legal guardian to sign you up for the App. 

A special note to parents:  Please help us protect your Children’s privacy by instructing them never to volunteer their personal information online without your permission.

What We Collect and How We Use Your Personal Information.  

In order to better provide you with Services, we may collect, process and store personal information about you.

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could be reasonably linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer, device or household. It does not include de-identified or aggregate information, or public information lawfully available from governmental records.

When a user of the App (“User”) engages in certain activities on the App, we may ask the User or the parent or legal guardian of the User to provide certain information about the user of the App such as their age, gender, location, and other related information.  It is completely optional for the User to engage in these activities, but such demographic information may be helpful for informational, research, or improvement purposes (detailed in the chart below).  Depending upon the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide are in mandatory fields and some are in voluntary fields.  If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.

The following chart describes the categories of Personal Information we may collect and have collected about Users in the past 12 months and, for each category, where and why we collected it, and the categories of entities with which we shared or sold the Personal Information, if any:

We may combine your Personal Information and other information collected about your use of the App, and also supplement with information from external sources for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

How We Share Your Personal Information.

We and our affiliates, services providers, partners, and other third parties may use the Personal Information we collect to operate our App and Site and to improve our Services.  Third parties with whom we share your Personal Information are contractually bound to comply with similar and equally stringent undertakings of privacy and confidentiality.

Occasionally, we may be required to share the Personal Information of the Users with other third parties for legitimate business purposes, or to comply with legal obligations.  For example, we may share Personal Information when we believe in good faith that an applicable law requires it; at the request of law enforcement, judicial authorities (e.g. upon receipt of a court order or subpoena), appropriate governmental authorities; to detect and protect against fraud, or any technical or security vulnerabilities; to respond to an emergency; or otherwise to protect the rights, property, safety or security of third parties, users of our Services, our businesses, or the public.  

Business Transfers

We may choose to buy or sell assets, and may share and/or transfer customer information in connection with the evaluation of and entry into such transactions. Also, if we (or our assets) are acquired, or if we go through some other change of control, Personal Data Information could be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.  However, we note that any entity acquiring our business or assets would have an obligation to use the Personal Data Information that comes with it strictly in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of us or our assets may continue to use your Personal Data Information only as set forth in this policy.

Anonymized and Aggregated Information

We may anonymize your Personal Information so that you are not identified as an individual, [1] and we may use and disclose such information in a number of ways, including for research, analysis, and any other legally permissible purposes.  Such information is not considered Personal Information.

We may also combine your information with others’, which will result in the information no longer being able to be tied to you.  For example, information that WGI collects about you may be combined by WGI with other information available to WGI through third parties for research and measurement purposes, including measuring the effectiveness of content, or programs. We may also report aggregate information, which is not able to be identified back to an individual user of the App, to our current or prospective business partners.[2] 

We Do Not Sell Your Personal Information

We do not disclose and have not disclosed your Personal Information to any other third parties for any purpose other than those described in this Privacy Policy or unless the law requires it.[3]  

We will not sell and have not sold within the past 12 months any of the Personal Information in our possession. 

Children’s Privacy Policy

The minimum age to sign up for our App and to register for Services is thirteen (13) years old. 

A parent User may open an account on the App for children under the age of 13 years by creating an account with login credentials for that child on our App.  All new users must read and accept this Privacy Policy, and our Terms and Conditions before registering an account.  

California Shine the Light[7]  

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits California residents to annually request, free of charge, information about the Personal Information (if any) disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. We do not share your Personal Information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
 

Do-Not-Track Signals[8] 

Certain mechanisms may allow you to send web browser signals, known as “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) signals, indicating your choice to disable tracking on the App. We do not respond to browser do not track signals at this time. More information about “do not track” is available at www.allaboutdnt.org.

Third parties, other than our service providers (such as our website analytics provider), do not have our permission to track which websites you visited prior to and after visiting our website[9] .

Security of Personal Information.

We implement and maintain reasonable security appropriate to the nature of the Personal Information that we collect, use, retain, transfer or otherwise process.[10] 

Though we are committed to developing, implementing, maintaining, monitoring and updating a reasonable information security program, unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  Data security incidents and breaches can occur due to vulnerabilities, criminal exploits or other factors that cannot reasonably be prevented.  Accordingly, it cannot be assumed that the occurrence of any given incident or breach results from our failure to implement and maintain reasonable security. To the maximum extent allowed by applicable law, you agree and acknowledge that we shall not be liable or responsible if any information about you is intercepted, accessed, and/or used by an unintended recipient. If you have reason to believe that the security your of communications or Personal Information has been compromised, please notify us immediately at: ____________

Links to Other Apps/Websites.[11] 

Our App may contain links to third-party external web sites or third-party applications.  WGI is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of non-WGI web sites or applications.  Links to non-WGI web sites or third-party applications are provided only as a convenience.  WGI does not endorse any link made available through our Services that is not a WGI website or App.  We encourage all users to read the privacy policies of each and every website or app visited when linking directly from our Services or providing Personal Information to such third-party sites.  Any Personal Information you choose to give to unrelated Third Parties is not covered by this Privacy Policy.

This Policy applies only to information collected by our Services[12] .

 
Changes.

We reserve the right to revise this Privacy Policy at any time by amending this page and changes will be effective upon being posted unless we advise otherwise. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by means of a notice on our App prior to the change becoming effective. By continuing to use the App after changes are made to this Privacy Policy, you agree to such changes, where and as permitted by applicable law. We encourage you to check this page from time to time to take notice of any changes we make. If you do not accept the terms of this Privacy Policy, we ask that you exit our Services immediately.

The Privacy Policy published on our App is kept up to date.
