Your Privacy
Make-A-Wish Foundation® International has
created this statement in order to demonstrate our
firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses
our information gathering and dissemination
practices for this Web site: www.worldwish.org.
Your IP Address and Cookies
For each visitor to our Web site, our Web server
automatically recognizes only the visitor's IP
address (e-mail addresses are not automatically
recognized by our server). We use your IP address to
help diagnose problems with our server and to
administer our Web site. Your IP address is used to
gather broad demographic information and is then
discarded. Occasionally, we may use cookies to
improve content and provide easier access. This
technology lets us review which parts of the site
are popular and which are not, allowing us to offer
future improvements to the site; however, cookies
that we generate contain no identifiable information
about you, any children that may visit this site, or
your computer.
Personal Contact Information
When you are making a donation, purchasing a
product, expressing an interest in referring a wish
child, or subscribing to our online newsletter, we
ask you for personal contact information, including
your name, mailing address, phone number, and e-mail
address. We will use this contact information to
provide you with information or resources you have
requested, such as information about the Make-A-Wish
Foundation, a receipt, or a financial report, or we
will use your information to contact you to clarify
or verify other information, such as an order you
placed, a donation you made, or a wish child that
you have referred.
We will
not add your name and contact information to any
mailing lists without your prior knowledge or
express permission. We will always ask or inform you
before adding you to a mailing list. If we do not,
you will not be added. If you have agreed to be
added to one of our mailing lists, such as our
e-mail newsletter list or regular mailing list, then
you may receive from us about Make-A-Wish Foundation
International and information on how you can support
the organization's mission.
Personal contact
information is not shared with any organization
outside of Make-A-Wish Foundation International and
our agents (reputable companies we use for services,
such as shipping Make-A-Wish Foundation products or
sending Make-A-Wish Foundation mail). We have
contracts to protect your privacy with all of our
agents. In some cases, when you wish to refer a
child, make a donation to your country’s affiliate,
or ask for country-specific information, your
contact information may be passed on to your
country’s affiliate. Your country’s affiliate will
not add you to their mailing lists unless you have
expressly asked to be added.
Personal billing
information we collect and what we do with it
In addition to
personal contact information, we ask for billing
information, such as your billing address and credit
card number, when you make a donation or purchase a
product. We use secure servers to gather and process
your billing information. These secure servers are
hosted by our agent CharityWeb, which is bound by
our site policies. Your billing information is not
shared with any other organizations, and your credit
card number is not retained once your transaction
has been authorized and processed.
Other contact
information we collect and what we do with it
In some instances, we ask for
contact information for people other than yourself –
for example, e-mail addresses of friends to whom you
wish to send a copy of one of our pages or the
mailing address of someone you wish to have us
notify of a donation you have made. Such contact
information is not added to any mailing list nor is
the information shared with any other organization.
Collecting such information for our own use is
called prospecting. The Make-A-Wish Foundation does
not prospect.
Information from Forms
Our site's forms require
users to give us contact information (like their
name, phone number, and e-mail address). We use
customer contact information from these forms to
send users information about Make-A-Wish Foundation
International. Users may opt-out of receiving future
communications, or contact us with their concerns
about our privacy policy; see the
◦
section below.
Links to Other Sites
This site contains links to other sites. Make-A-Wish
Foundation International is not responsible for the
privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.
Our
Partners
Our Web site (www.worldwish.org) is hosted by
NetNation. No information gathered from users is
shared with NetNation.
In
the case of online donations, on our behalf,
CharityWeb provides and manages secure servers to
host the transactions and gather pertinent donation
information from users. This information is passed
directly to the Make-A-Wish Foundation and its
financial institutions, and is not used by
CharityWeb.
Occasionally, Make-A-Wish Foundation International
offers links to third-party vendors that offer
Make-A-Wish Foundation merchandise online, via the
Web. Make-A-Wish Foundation International does not
control Web sites maintained by such third-parties.
For information on their site policies, including
privacy and the way they share information, you must
visit their Web sites. In general, contact
information returned to us by such third parties is
treated as if it had been gathered by us and is
given the same consideration.
Security
This site has security measures in place to protect
the loss, misuse and alteration of the information
under our control. Specifically, secure servers are
used to gather financial information, and encrypted
channels are used to transfer this information.
Children
With respect to children, Make-A-Wish Foundation
International does not collect personally
identifiable offline contact information without
prior parental consent, nor do we distribute to
third parties any personally identifiable
information without prior parental consent. We do
not give the ability to publicly post or otherwise
distribute personally identifiable contact
information on our Web site.
