What we collect

The WICSmart may collect or store the following information:

  • Registration information about your device. This information includes a generated identification number that will uniquely identify your mobile device. This identification is strictly used for registration purposes and for reporting registration statistics to your WIC provider.
  • Email Address / Account Number / Member ID will be used to validate your account.
  • If your interface is configured to use a password to confirm your login access, our systems employ “salted password hashing” when storing any password information. We do not store your actual password anywhere within the WICSmart system.
  • Usage statistics may be collected, such as login activity and Lesson Module downloads.
  • Suspended Lesson Module information will be transmitted and stored on the WICSmart host system. This information will be removed once a Lesson Module is resumed, or be removed from the system during our routine maintenance process.
  • Lesson Module completion results will be transmitted and stored on the WICSmart host system.
