If you choose to engage with such Third Party Services, they may have access to and process Personal Information of your Users-of-Users collected through your web or mobile sites. For example:

a) Framed Pages: our Services may enable you to integrate Third Party Services directly into your web or mobile sites, such as via page framing techniques to serve content to or from Third Party Services  or other parties (“Frames”). In these circumstances, the Third Party Services may collect Personal Information from your Users-of-Users.

 

b) App Market Developers: We allow third party developers (“Third Party Developer(s)”) to develop and offer their own applications via the Wix App Market (“Third Party App(s)”) to Users, which you may integrate into your web or mobile sites.

​

12. Security

Wix has implemented security measures designed to protect the Personal Information you share with us, including physical, electronic and procedural measures. Among other things, we offer HTTPS secure access to most areas on our Services; the transmission of sensitive payment information (such as a credit card number) through our designated purchase forms is protected by an industry standard SSL/TLS encrypted connection; and we regularly maintain a PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards) certification. We also regularly monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks, and regularly seek new ways and Third Party Services for further enhancing the security of our Services and protection of our Visitors’ and Users’ privacy.

​

Regardless of the measures and efforts taken by Wix, we cannot and do not guarantee the absolute protection and security of your Personal Information, your Users-of-Users’ Personal Information or any other information you upload, publish or otherwise share with Wix or anyone else. We encourage you to set strong passwords for your User Account and User Website, and avoid providing us or anyone with any sensitive Personal Information of which you believe its disclosure could cause you substantial or irreparable harm.

Furthermore, because certain areas on our Services are less secure than others (for example, if you set your Support forum ticket to be “Public” instead of “Private”, or if you browse to a non-SSL page), and since e-mail and instant messaging are not recognized as secure forms of communications, we request and encourage you not to share any Personal Information on any of these areas or via any of these methods.

​

If you have any questions regarding the security of our Services, you are welcome to contact us here.

​

#ItsThatEasy

Wix values the security of our customers' Personal Information and we do everything in our power to protect it. 

However, as we can’t guarantee absolute protection – we encourage you to be careful, set a strong password for your account, and avoid submitting any sensitive information which, if exposed, could cause you major harm.

​

13. Third-party websites

Our Services may contain links to other websites or services. We are not responsible for such websites’ or services’ privacy practices. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Services and to read the privacy statements of each and every website and service you visit before providing your Personal Information.

​

In any event, we advise against posting any Personal Information (via any means) you don’t wish to publicize.

​

Additional Information for U.S. State Residents

This section of our Privacy Policy details what Personal Information we collect about you under U.S. applicable privacy laws and regulations, the sources of the Personal Information, the purposes of use and disclosure, and the categories of third parties that may receive that Personal Information. The information in this section applies to you if you are a U.S. resident in a state with an applicable privacy law or regulation.

​

Please read this section in combination with the other sections of this Privacy Policy for a complete understanding of how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information.

​

Your Rights and how to exercise them:

Here is a brief overview of your rights:
 

  • Right to Delete Your Information: Upon your request, we will delete the personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain legally permissible exceptions. 

    • Please follow the instructions provided in this Help Center article: <"Permanently Deleting Your Wix Account">, which explains how to delete your Personal Information. You can also choose to request the deletion through this  web form or by contacting us as described in this Privacy Policy.
       

  • Right to Know and Access Your Personal Information: You have the right to ask us to confirm whether we process your personal information and for a copy of the personal information we maintain about you.

    • Please follow the instructions provided in this Help Center article: <"Retrieving Your Wix Account Data">, which explains how you can retrieve your Personal Information. You can also submit a request to access your Personal Information through this web form or by contacting us as described in this Privacy Policy
       

  • Right to Correct Inaccurate Personal Information: You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information about you. Some personal information can be directly changed or corrected by you through our apps and websites.

    • For any questions, you can reach out to us using the method described in this Privacy Policy
       

  • Right to Opt Out of the Sale of Your Personal Information: You can tell us not to "sell" your personal information according to applicable law, even though we don't technically sell your information in the traditional sense. We may share certain categories of Personal Information with our Third Party Service Providers. However,  the current regulation uses a very broad (and somewhat scary) definition of “Sale”."

  • Right to Limit Use of Your Personal Information for Targeted Advertising (defined in California as “Sharing”): You can ask us not to use or disclose your personal information for targeted advertising. Just visit our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page. You also can use the Global Privacy Control to signal your opt-out preference. To learn more about the GPC please visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org.



You may exercise any of the rights described above, you can also submit a request by email to privacy@wix.com, or by mail to Wix.com, 5 Yunitsman St., Tel Aviv, Israel.

When you submit a request, we will usually ask you to provide an email address to verify your identity and prevent fraud.

You may also designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. 
Depending on the nature of the request, we may authenticate the request by requesting additional information or documentation, such as account related information, billing information used to purchase paid Services and the submission of specific documents.

No Discrimination. Wix does not discriminate against any individual for exercising their rights under this section.

If we deny your request or cannot fulfill it, you may appeal our decision by contacting us as described in this Privacy Policy to ask us to review your request again. Your communication should include “Appeal” in the subject line.

​
