We have, however, contracted with a third party to host the White Cloud Website on our behalf, and this third party will be collecting the information from this website on our behalf. The web hosting party maintains the security of your information and uses the information solely as provided in this Privacy Policy.
We require the following information from you whenever you complete a consumer product questionnaire:

How Wal-Mart Uses Your Personal Information
Some of the information collected by Wal-Mart is personal data or data which relates to an identifiable person. Examples of personal data are names, addresses, e-mail addresses and telephone numbers. We do not sell personal data to third parties.
We use the information you provide about yourself when completing the consumer product questionnaire for internal purposes only. If you indicate that you would like to receive information upon completing the questionnaire at our website, we will use your email address to provide you with information on new products, in-store demonstrations of various products, and announcements of special sales related to our products. We do not share your personal information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to communicate directly with you through regular mail.
As we collect and use information about you, we may contract with vendors, suppliers and business partners (collectively “Partners”) to assist us in hosting or processing that information or to assist us in marketing products or services to you. These Partners are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are restricted from using the information for any other purpose other than helping Wal-Mart provide the services requested by our Users.
Wal-Mart may provide information about you, which does not allow you to be identified or contacted, to third parties. For example, we might inform third parties regarding the number of users of our site and the activities they conduct while on our site. Depending on the circumstances, we may or may not charge for this information. We may also use this information to improve our products, services and sites. Finally, we do provide personal data to government agencies as required by law or regulation.
Security and Integrity of Your Personal Information
We treat our data as assets that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access. We employ information security techniques (e.g., firewalls) to appropriately protect confidential information from unauthorized access by Users. Access to User information is limited to those whom the User has authorized access and those Wal-Mart employees who have a legitimate business need for that information. You should note, however, that no transmittal of data through the Internet is completely safe. Therefore, any information you transmit through this website is done at your own risk because Wal-Mart cannot and does not warrant the security of such information transmitted via the Internet.
Your Privacy Choices
Based on information you provide to us in your consumer product questionnaire, we will send you e-mails to provide you with information relating to product updates, product demonstrations and sales events that may be of interest to you. We will provide instructions in each such email on how to unsubscribe in the event that you do not wish to receive any future e-mails. Please note, however, that if you elect not to receive future e-mail communications, you will not receive notification of important product updates and sales events.
