If available, you may program your browser software to notify you of attempts to send cookies and/or you may decline to accept or delete them. When you perform a search with WFG’s search engine, WFG does not record information identifying you or linking you to the search performed. As necessary to provide service, WFG does record limited information for every search request and uses that information only to solve technical problems with the Site, to calculate overall usage statistics and to improve the structure and content of the Site.

Non-Personal Information may be aggregated for internal review and used to improve the Site's content and structure. This information will be discarded.

WFG does not distribute Personal Data or Communications to third parties.  WFG will not voluntarily share, rent, sell or otherwise disclose information obtained from visitors to the Site (whether Personal Data or Communications) to third parties.
