TheWildHQ.com (“TheWildHQ.com,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is committed to respecting the privacy rights and concerns of all users of TheWildHQ.com’s website where this Privacy Policy is posted (the “Site”), the mobile application (the “App”) and the software, products and services made available by TheWildHQ.com through the Site and the TheWildHQ.com communications platform through which End Users (as defined in the Terms of Service) may connect (the “Platform”, and collectively with the Site and the App, the “Service”). As such, we have established and implemented this Privacy Policy to inform visitors to the Site and users of the Service, including Providers and End Users, how we use and protect the information we collect through the Service. By accessing the Site or using any of the Service, whether as an End User or other users or visitors of the Site or the Platform, you consent to TheWildHQ.com’s collection, use, storage, deletion and disclosure of information relating to you as set forth in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is effective as of the date set forth above and is only applicable to the Service and not to any other website that you may be able to access from the Service which may have its own data collection and use practices and policies.

This policy answers the following questions:

  • What information do we collect about you and how do we use it?
  • Will we share your personal information with third parties?
  • What choices do you have about the collection and use of your personal information?
  • What security measures do we take to safeguard your personal information?


What information do we collect about you and how do we use it?

Types of Information We Collect

Personal information means information that can be used to identify and contact you. You do not need to submit personal information to access the Service generally. However, you may be required to submit personal information to access certain aspects of the Service. We may collect non-personal information such as your browser type, when you accessed the Service and from what physical location you accessed the Service. This information may be aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent, page views, and other statistics about users of the Service. We also may use this data to monitor the Service’s performance and to make the Service easier and more convenient to use.

We collect personal information when you create an account through the Service; participate in registration forms, intake questionnaire forms, feedback forms or “Contact Us” forms; subscribe to the Service; receive customer or technical support; or participate in components of the Service through which users may share content.

To create a personal user account through the Service or to access certain aspects of the Service as an End User, we may require you to provide certain information, including your name, email address, phone number, age, gender, location and username.

To make purchases through the Service, you will be required to provide a credit card number, bank account number, billing address, phone number or other payment information. No information of this type will be collected unless you have registered for aspects of the Service that require it.

By submitting personal information through the Service, you authorize TheWildHQ.com to share this personal information for the purposes identified herein and on the Site and the App, such as responding to user inquiries, processing transactions, distributing materials, requesting feedback, and administering contests, promotions or surveys.

We also offer features of the Service that allow you to link your account to Facebook or Google+, and may collect personal information you authorize Facebook or Google+ to provide to us including, without limitation, your gender, birthdate and marital status. By submitting personal information through the Service, you authorize TheWildHQ.com to share this personal information for the purposes identified herein and on the Site and the App, such as responding to user inquiries, processing transactions, distributing materials, and requesting feedback.

Third Party Privacy Policies

Through the Service, you may be able to link to technology, software and services owned and controlled by third parties (“Third Party Features”). You may be permitted or required to submit personal information to access Third Party Features. Such use of Third Party Features and submission of information through Third Party Features will be subject to such applicable third party’s terms of use, terms of service and privacy policy. You agree to look solely to the applicable third party and not to TheWildHQ.com to enforce your rights in relation thereto. When you have clicked on a third party logo or URL displayed on the Site or the Platform, or accessible through the Service, which links you to any Third Party Features, our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service no longer apply and you must read the terms of use, terms of service and privacy policy of the third party to see how your personal information will be handled on their website.

How We Use Your Personal Information

The personal information you provide to us will allow us to communicate with you and provide the Service to you, depending on the aspects of the Service for which you register. This includes alerting you of new products, services, features, or enhancements to the Service; verifying your identity; handling your customer service questions or issues; processing orders; requesting feedback; distributing newsletters; and administering contests, promotions or surveys. We may also use your email address and phone number as part of the Service in sending you messages about the Service and other general announcements. We keep track of your interactions with us including, but not limited to, your activity within the Service. Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy, or unless we have your consent, we will not share your personal information with any person or entity other than those affiliated with us, entities acting on our behalf, and relevant third parties such as those needed to collect and maintain our servers and perform technology and related services.

We may use your personal information with non-personal information that we have collected in a manner such that the end-product does not personally identify you or any other user of the Service. We may make your personal information non-personally identifiable by either combining it with information about other users (aggregating your personal information with information about other users), or by removing characteristics (such as your name or email address) that make the information personally identifiable. This process is known as de-personalizing your information. You grant us a royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable and fully transferable right and license to use your personal information in connection with the creation and development of analytical and statistical analysis tools relating to the use of the customer data we collect in providing the Service (the “Analytical Data”). We are expressly authorized to make any commercial use of the Analytical Data including, without limitation, sharing the Analytical Data with third parties, provided that we do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer from us any part of the Analytical Data that personally identifies any Service users.

Do Not Track

In compliance with California legislation, AB370, effective January 1, 2014, TheWildHQ.com’s practices in responding to “do not track” signals and collecting user information over time and across a network of websites when you visit the Site are as follows: We honor the request of “do not track” signals sent by your browser when you visit the Site.
