This privacy notice discloses the privacy practices for Wishes & More and our website; https://wishesandmore.wpengine.com. We respect the privacy interests and preferences of our donors and website visitors and are fully committed to transparency in outlining what information we collect about donors and visitors, how it is used, and how you can opt-out of those programs (online or by traditional communications) if you so choose. This privacy notice applies solely to information collected by this website, except where stated otherwise. The privacy policy will notify you of the following:
- What information we collect;
- With whom it is shared;
- How it can be corrected;
- How it is secured;
- How policy changes will be communicated; and
- How to address concerns over misuse of personal data.
Information Collection, Use, and Sharing
We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via email or other direct contact from you.
We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.
We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request (e.g., to ship an order).
Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about upcoming events, wishes in action, how to get involved as a volunteer, and/or changes to this privacy policy.
Your Access to and Control Over Information
You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time. You can do the following at any time by contacting us via the email address or phone number provided on our website:
- See what data we have about you, if any;
- Change/correct any data we have about you;
- Have us delete any data we have about you;
- Express any concern you have about our use of your data
Orders
We request information from you on our order form, wish referral pages, contact us form, and volunteer application. In order to connect with us via these forms, you must provide contact information (like name and shipping address), and if making a donation or purchasing an item, financial information (like credit card number, expiration date) is also required. This information is used for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we'll use this information to contact you. We may also use this contact information to provide you with a receipt or financial report; to contact you to clarify or obtain additional information about an order you placed, a donation you made, or a wish child you have referred; or to send you additional information.
If you make a donation, we may contact you on occasion to offer you an opportunity to make another gift. You may also receive a personal call from a Wishes & More staff member or volunteer thanking you for your donation. As a matter of long-standing policy; however, we do not use professional telemarketers or other outside vendors to solicit funds or otherwise communicate with our donors. You will always have the opportunity to opt-out of future communications from us.
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.
Financial transactions and our secure servers
All financial transactions on our website, specifically donations and purchases, are managed through Paypal. All transactions use an encrypted channel, take place on secure servers and occur in real time. No financial data such as your credit card number is transferred via a less-secure channel, (such as encrypted e-mail) for processing. Moreover, once your transaction has been completed, your credit card number is not retained.
How to view or change your information
If you wish to modify the frequency of future communications, please write to us at our headquarters or e-mail address below.
Also, with the exception of credit card numbers, which are not retained, you can view and request changes to all the information you have given us, including any mailing lists you may be on, by contacting us.
E-mail address: [email protected]
Sharing
We use an outside credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store, or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes beyond filling your order.
Security
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the web page.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (e.g. billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
