Also note this on their privacy page (http://www.webwise.com/privacy/best-privacy.html)

We will protect your privacy and any information that can identify you personally.

We will never collect or store any personally-identifiable information about you. We will not store IP addresses, URLs or search terms, or anything sensitive, and we have established industry-leading standards regarding storage, retention and deletion of data.


Followed by...

We will protect all data.

We keep all data secure on our servers taking all possible steps to ensure that the data collected is protected and that access to it is limited to employees with the need to review such information.


So they don't collect any data but they ensure the data they collect is secure. I appreciate they only mention PII in the first quote, but if that was the case what data would need to be secured?
