Welcome to the Salaries WIKI Privacy Policy page!
Here at Salaries WIKI, we emphasize developing the trust of our visitors and readers as well as ensuring the safety of their data. As such, according to the Data Protection Act of 1998, we are committed to maintaining full protection of our users’ personal and non-personal data. As the first part in this, we work only on a need-to-know basis, meaning we only ask what is paramount for the users’ experience.
Each and every staff member of Salaries WIKI (writer, editor, or otherwise) has made it their scope to treat everyone that pays us a visit with utmost respect. That means that their personal information will be handled with extreme care. Once you choose to provide us with such information, we first and foremost understand that you are doing so in good faith and we shall endeavor to keep that faith. The first step is to take every preventive measure to protect that data. In the following statement of our Privacy Policy, we will explain how the average users’ information is stored and protected. If you have any other questions, feel free to leave us a message at contact@salarieswiki.com.
