How does WOW use your social media data?

WOW now supports logging in with Facebook, Google and Twitter. These integrations use OAuth 2.0, as it is the industry standard authentication/authorization protocol. With OAuth 2.0, you will be asked to share your following information with us:

First and Last Name: WOW uses your First and Last Name in order to personalize your experience.
E-Mail Address: WOW uses your e-mail address to send you notification e-mails, such as group membership requests.

WOW never shares your personal and contact information with any third parties. These are only used to give you a better experience using WOW.

We are pleased to offer WOW registration through your social media accounts to help get you started on WOW more quickly, however if you don’t have a social media account then you can still register with the Met Office directly here. Users with an existing Met Office account can also log in with a social media account but this will not link with any existing site/s.
