This information may be shared within WWF’s Family of Organizations for the purposes of fulfilling your orders and requests, responding to any comments or questions you submit, and/or providing follow-up information about the WWF Family of Organizations, or analysis to help us better understand our member and supporter base.

WWF may use tools or third party analytical software to automatically collect and use certain non-personal data that does not directly enable WWF to identify you.

From time to time, we may send information to you via email from other organizations that we believe may be of interest to you or can provide services that will be of use to you, or we may share your postal address with such organizations. We will not share your email address with other organizations. If you receive an email from us, you may choose not to receive such messages in the future by clicking the “unsubscribe” link which we put in the footer of each email. We provide a similar opt out process in our postal mailings.

How Information Is Collected
Cookies, beacons and tracking — WWF may use “cookies” and other technologies such as pixel tags, clear GIFs and web beacons. WWF treats information collected by cookies and similar technologies as non-personal data. A cookie is a small file stored on your hard disk drive. Cookies may contain different types of information such as site preferences and login information.
Emails and other electronic communications WWF sends to you may contain code that enables WWF to track your usage of the communication, including whether the communication was opened and/or what links were followed (if any). WWF may combine that information with other information WWF has about you, and WWF may use that information to improve the services and/or provide customized communications to you.
WWF does not use this cookie to link to personally-identifiable information on our site. Cookies expire after a period of time specified in the cookie. This ranges from a few hours to years. Some areas of this site require use of cookies for proper navigation. If a user rejects a cookie, they simply will not be able to use that part of the site effectively.
Ad Serving Technology — WWF reserves the right to use and disclose the collected non-personal data for purposes of advertisement by WWF’s Family of Organizations or WWF’s partners and contractors. WWF may employ third party ad serving technologies that use certain methods to collect information as a result of ad serving through services. WWF or third parties operating the ad serving technology may use demographic and location information, as well as information logged from your hardware or device to ensure that appropriate advertising is presented within the service. WWF or third parties may collect and use data for this purpose including but not limited to IP address (including for purposes of determining your approximate geographic location), UDID, software, applications, hardware, browser information, internet and on-line usage information and in-game information. The foregoing data may be used and disclosed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the privacy policy of the company providing the ad serving technology.
You recognize and agree that the advertising companies who deliver ads for WWF may combine the information collected with other information they have independently collected from other services or products. These companies collect and use information under their own privacy policies. These ad serving technologies are integrated into services; if you do not want to be subject to this technology, do not use or access services. Although WWF takes commercially reasonable steps to instruct such advertising companies to comply with the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy, WWF does not have access to or control of third party technologies.
Further Use of Collected Information
Publicly Sharing Your Comments and Stories — WWF often receives information from website visitors who have successfully participated in our programs and/or employed our resources. In certain instances, we would like to publicly share the comments and stories we receive by posting this information on our website. We will not, however, publicly share any information we receive on our website without first receiving the express consent of the individual who submitted the information. Furthermore, we will not post information in any way that specifically identifies the sender of that information unless the sender approves it.
Affiliates and Partners — WWF may store and/or transfer your personal data to its affiliates and partners in and outside of EU/EEA member states and the United States in accordance with mandatory legislation and this Privacy Policy. WWF may disclose your personal data to third parties in connection with a merger, consolidation, restructuring, the sale of substantially all of WWF’s stock and/or assets or other corporate change, including, without limitation, during the course of any due diligence process provided, however, that this Privacy Policy shall continue to govern such personal data.
Third Party Terms and Conditions
Please note that your access to and use of the services may be subject to certain third party terms and conditions and privacy policies, including but not limited to application stores, mobile software platforms, on-line gaming platforms, social networking services and payment providers. You recognize and agree that WWF is not liable for any such third party terms and conditions and their use of your personal data.
WWF may in its discretion make available links through advertisements or otherwise enable you to access third party products or services. Please note that, while using such products or services, you are using products or services developed and administered by people or companies not affiliated with or controlled by WWF. WWF is not responsible for the actions of those people or companies, the content of their products or services, the use of information you provide to them, or any products or services they may offer. The fact that WWF is linking to those products or services does not constitute our sponsorship of, or affiliation with, those people or companies.
Please note that certain services that WWF may offer, such as multiplayer gaming, social networking and gaming console services, may use third party services to provide authentication for the services with a gaming console ID, social networking ID or gaming network account. When you register to join or use the services from a third-party gaming or social networking system, certain personally identifiable user and/or membership data may be transferred automatically to and from WWF and you hereby consent to the processing, using, combining, disclosing and retaining of such data in accordance with this Privacy Policy by WWF.
Security Measures
We provide our members and supporters with a secure experience when they are ordering memberships, making a donation, or buying nature education merchandise. Our technical security measures include using industry standard 128bit encryption to secure the transfer of data between your browser and our servers. Although we will use all reasonable means to safeguard the privacy of your personal information, transmissions made via the Internet cannot be made absolutely secure.
When our forms ask users to enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption method in the industry -Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). While on a secure page, such as our membership form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open.
Please be aware of the open nature of certain social networking and other open features of the services WWF may make available to you. You may choose to disclose data about yourself in the course of contributing user generated content to the services. Any data that you disclose in any of these forums, blogs, chats or the like is public information, and there is no expectation of privacy or confidentiality. WWF is not responsible for any personal data you choose to make public in any of these forums.
WWF reserves the right to amend this policy at any time as needed. We will post changes here, so please check back periodically. Changes will take effect when posted, and your continued use of the site will constitute your agreement to the changes.
Thank you.
