can visit WLT without revealing any personal information. Like many
websites, WLT's web servers collect the Internet Protocol addresses,
but not the e-mail addresses, of visitors. WLT will use this information
to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the site,
pages viewed, and other such statistics. WLT will then use this
information to improve WLT. You will be asked for personal information,
including your name, e-mail address, mailing address, telephone
number, company name, and fax number (collectively, "Personal
Information") when you register for certain giveaways offered
by WLT, sign up for our newsletters, send e-mail to WLT, and respond
to e-mails from WLT. WLT automatically collects and stores statistics
and other information about you and your online activities both
on an aggregated, non-personally identifiable basis and in a manner
that will allow us to associate such information with other personally
identifiable information about you. WLT will use your information
on an aggregated basis to do such things as operate WLT, enhance
and improve WLT, and sell and deliver advertising. WLT also uses
this data, both aggregated and personally identifiable, to enhance
your onsite experience by displaying promotions, advertisements
and content that we believe will be of interest to you. Your Personal
Information will be used by WLT to provide you with information
regarding its products and services. For example, WLT will use your
e-mail address to send you special announcements and notifications
of new companies, new products, services or promotions that may
be of interest to you. [Whenever you are asked for your e-mail address,
you will be able to opt out of receiving such information by checking
