About this Add-on
WOT is a website reputation and review service that helps you make informed decisions about whether to trust a website or not when you are searching, shopping or surfing online.
WOT simply shows website reputations as traffic lights next to search results when you use Google, Yahoo!, Bing or any other search engine. Icons are also visible next to links in social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter and email services like Gmail and Yahoo! Mail, as well as other popular sites like Wikipedia. By clicking the traffic light icon you can find out more information about a website’s reputation and other users’ opinions. A green traffic light means users have rated the site as trusted and reliable, red warns about potential threats and yellow indicates that you need to be cautious when using a site.
WOT ratings and reviews are powered by a global community of millions of users who rate websites based on their personal experiences. In addition, third-party sources are used to warn you about malicious software and other technical threats that you might encounter.
You can share your experiences by rating sites yourself and help make the Internet a safer place for everyone.
WOT has been featured in the New York Times, CNET, PC World, Kim Komando show, Tech Republic, PC Welt and many other popular media.

Privacy Policy
WOT Services Oy ("WOT") endeavors to protect the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is intended to provide the users of the WOT Software Product ("Software"), related My WOT website ("Website") and other WOT services (all collectively "Service") with information on what kind of personal information, if any, WOT collects and how the personal information is handled and used after collection. By accessing and using the Services, your use indicates that you agree with the terms of this Policy. Please note that if you do not agree with this Policy, you should stop using the Services.
Information collected
When you download the Software for the first time, WOT automatically creates a random (anonymous) identifier for you. While using the Software it sends information about the identifier, the date and time of the request and the host name for each site you visit to WOT servers for the purpose of identifying the visited web sites and retrieving the corresponding rating information. This information will be stored only temporarily and will be erased after a month.
You can also give your opinion ("Rating(s)") on the web site you visit. These Ratings are stored on the servers for future use, for as long as is considered appropriate by WOT.
Some parts of the Service, such as the Website, may require registration and you will be asked for some personal information (name, username, email address and password). This information is collected only to help you to retain your previous Ratings and settings (for example; if you wish to install WOT on a different computer). Your password is processed so that it cannot be recovered.
When you register with the Service, you are asked to provide information that describes you (country, city, year of birth etc.). This information together with your Ratings and web site usage is used for statistical purposes only without any connection to your personal information. The statistical data may be stored and used as found appropriate by WOT.
If you choose to register with the Service and participate at the Website or leave feedback about a web site, we will display your username along side your comments and feedback.
