World Wildlife Fund, Inc. (“WWF”) respects privacy, and we know that many care about how information is used and shared. This Privacy Policy applies to the WWF website www.worldwildlife.org, to all other websites controlled or operated by WWF from which you are accessing this Privacy Policy, to all associated subdomains, online services, and mobile applications controlled or operated by WWF, and to any other interactions that we may have with you, online or offline (collectively, the “Services”).

Please see our supplemental State Privacy Notices here for additional details on how we handle your Personal Information and how to exercise your privacy rights.

What Information We Collect

When you use our Services, WWF and its service providers may collect Personal Information that you provide, such as your name, address, email address, telephone number, payment information, and photos or videos on your mobile device, if you give WWF permission to access them. “Personal Information” is information that identifies you as an individual or relates to an identifiable person.

In addition, WWF and its service providers use a variety of techniques to gather other information about your use of the Services, including, among other things, your IP address, browser type, mobile device type, content visited while on the Services, and the duration of your visit to the Services. “Other Information” is any information that does not reveal your specific identity or does not directly relate to an individual.

If you submit any Personal Information relating to other people to us or to our service providers in connection with the Services, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

How We Collect Information

WWF and its service providers collect Personal Information that you provide while using the Services, either directly or through other user actions, including, without limitation, any Personal Information provided or otherwise obtained while the Services’ web pages are open. For instance, WWF gathers information when you fill out forms on the Services, including, for example, e-newsletter sign-up forms, donation forms, surveys and advocacy action alerts. We may also use analytics that enable us to obtain your Personal Information based on your use of the Services, including, for example, your clicks on Services’ pages and page elements as well as information entered into the Services’ html form fields, regardless of whether the form is submitted.

We may collect information from and about you from other online and offline sources, such as public databases, vendors, list exchanges, social media platforms, and from people with whom you are friends or otherwise connected on social media platforms. For example, if you choose to connect your social media account to your Services account, certain Personal Information from your social media account will be shared with us. This may include Personal Information that is part of your profile or your friends’ profiles.

We and our service providers may collect Other Information in a variety of ways, including through:

Cookies. We use “cookies” to help us monitor traffic and collect information about use of the Services. Cookies are pieces of data placed on your device when you visit the Services that help us recognize you when you come back to the Services, allowing us, for instance, to remember the email address and password you use when you log in on a specific computer. WWF uses the aggregated information collected from cookies to measure the number of visits to the Services, the average time spent on the Services, the identity and number of pages viewed, aid in interest-based advertising with our partners, and to gather other traffic data and information that allows us to improve the Services. We also use the information for security purposes, to facilitate navigation, to display information more effectively, and to personalize your experience while using the Services. Cookies further allow us to select which of our content or advertisements are most likely to appeal to you and display them while you are on the Services. We may also use cookies or other technologies in online advertising to track responses to our ads. We may not respond to browser do-not-track signals.

Analytics & Optimization. WWF also uses a variety of third-party web and mobile app analytics and optimization services to improve the Services and enhance the visitor experience. When you use the Services, we and our service providers may collect, record, and use your session information, including browsing behavior, click patterns, mouse movements, scrolling activity, keystrokes, chat messages, pages visited, and other analytics in order to improve user experience and the Services’ quality, as well as to debug, identify, and repair errors that impair the intended functionality of our Services. The Services do not track your browsing habits across other third-party websites on our behalf.

We also use Google Analytics, which uses cookies and other, similar technologies to collect and analyze information about use of the Services and report on activities and trends. You can learn about Google’s practices by going to https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ and opt out of them by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Invisible reCAPTCHA. We use Google’s invisible reCAPTCHA application on our Services in order to protect against spam and other automated abuse. The reCAPTCHA tool may make use of cookies, as well as such other information as IP address, date, time, language, screen size and resolution, and mouse movements. The use of the reCAPTCHA tool and information collected through it are subject to Google’s privacy policy, available at https://policies.google.com/privacy and Google’s terms of service, available at https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=en.

Third-party Advertising. We may use third-party advertising companies to serve advertisements that may be of interest to you when you access and use the Services and other websites. You may receive advertisements (1) based on information relating to your access to and use of the Services, other websites, or online services on any of your devices; and (2) based on information received from third parties. To do so, these companies may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser (including through use of pixel tags). They also use these technologies, along with information they collect about your online use, to recognize you across the devices you use, such as a mobile phone and a laptop. We may also send anonymized and/or securely hashed data to our vendors to determine the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns.

If you would like more information about these practices, and to learn how to opt out of it in desktop and mobile browsers on the particular device on which you are accessing this Privacy Policy, please visit https://optout.networkadvertising.org/and https://youradchoices.com/. You may download the AppChoices app at https://youradchoices.com/appchoices to opt out in mobile apps.

Pixel Tags. We may use pixel tags and other similar technologies to, among other things, track the actions of users of the Services, measure the success of our marketing campaigns, and compile statistics about use of the Services and response rates.

Browser/Device Information. Certain information is collected by most browsers or automatically through your device, such as your Media Access Control (MAC) address, computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen resolution, operating system name and version, device manufacturer and model, language, and Internet browser type and version.

IP Address. We may collect your IP address, which is a number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service Provider. An IP address may be identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever a user accesses the Services, along with the time of the visit and the page(s) that were visited. Collecting IP addresses is a common practice and is done automatically by many websites, applications and other services. We use IP addresses for purposes such as calculating usage levels, helping diagnose server problems, and administering the Services.

App Usage Data. When you download and use our mobile applications (each, an “App”), we may track and collect App usage data, such as the date and time the App on your device accesses our servers and what information and files have been downloaded to the App based on your device number.

Physical Location. We may collect the physical location of your device by, for example, using satellite, cell phone tower or Wi-Fi signals. We may use your device’s physical location to provide you with personalized location-based services and content. We may also share your device’s physical location, combined with information about what advertisements you viewed and other information we collect, with our marketing partners to enable them to provide you with more personalized content and to study the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. In some instances, you may be permitted to allow or deny such uses and/or sharing of your device’s location, but if you do, we and/or our marketing partners may not be able to provide you with the applicable personalized services and content. Our Apps may collect the precise location of your device when the App is running in the foreground or background, depending on how you choose to set up the App’s location tracking.

Aggregating Personal Information. We may aggregate Personal Information. Aggregated information does not personally identify you or any other user of the Services (for example, we may aggregate Personal Information to calculate the percentage of our users who have a particular telephone area code).

How We Collect Information

WWF and its service providers collect Personal Information that you provide while using the Sites. For instance, WWF gathers information when you fill out forms on the Sites, including, for example, e-newsletter sign-up forms, donation forms, surveys and advocacy action alerts. We may supplement the information we collect from you with information we collect from and about you from other online and offline sources, such as public databases, social media platforms and from people with whom you are friends or otherwise connected on social media platforms. For example, if you choose to connect your social media account to your Site account, certain Personal Information from your social media account will be shared with us. This may include Personal Information that is part of your profile or your friends’ profiles.

We and our service providers may collect Other Information in a variety of ways, including:

We use “cookies” to help us monitor traffic and collect information about use of the Sites. Cookies are pieces of data placed on your device when you visit the Sites that help us recognize you when you come back to the Sites, allowing us, for instance, to remember the email address and password you use when you log in on a specific computer. WWF uses the aggregated information collected from cookies to measure the number of visits to the Sites, the average time spent on the Sites, the identity and number of pages viewed, and to gather other traffic data and information that allows us to improve the Sites. We also use the information for security purposes, to facilitate navigation, to display information more effectively, and to personalize your experience while using the Sites. Cookies further allow us to select which of our content is most likely to appeal to you and display it while you are on the Sites.
WWF also uses a variety of third-party web and mobile app analytics and optimization services to improve the Sites and enhance the visitor experience. For examples, the Sites use web analytics services that may record mouse clicks, mouse movements, scrolling activity, text you type in the Sites, and similar activity. The Sites do not use these services to collect any personally identifiable information not otherwise provided by you in using the Sites, and they do not track your browsing habits across other third-party websites on our behalf.
We also use Google Analytics, which uses cookies and other, similar technologies to collect information about Site use anonymously and reports website trends, without identifying individual visitors.

We may also use a third-party service provider called SAS Solutions, which uses cookies and other technologies to help us analyze how visitors use the Sites, and which may record mouse clicks, mouse movements, scrolling activity, text you type in the Sites, and similar activity. The Sites do not use this service to collect any personally identifiable information not otherwise provided by you in using the Sites.
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve advertisements that may be of interest to you when you access and use the Sites and other websites, based on information relating to your access to and use of the Sites and other websites.

Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash LSOs may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with the Sites or our online content.
Certain information is collected by most browsers or automatically through your device, such as your Media Access Control (MAC) address, computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen resolution, operating system name and version, device manufacturer and model, language, and Internet browser type and version.

An IP address may be identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever a user accesses the Sites, along with the time of the visit and the page(s) that were visited. Collecting IP addresses is a common practice and is done automatically by many websites, applications and other services. We use IP addresses for purposes such as calculating usage levels, helping diagnose server problems, and administering the Sites.
When you download and use our mobile applications (each, an “App”), we may track and collect App usage data, such as the date and time the App on your device accesses our servers and what information and files have been downloaded to the App based on your device number.
We may collect the physical location of your device by, for example, using satellite, cell phone tower or Wi-Fi signals. We may use your device’s physical location to provide you with personalized location-based services and content.
Information that you provide, such as your preferred means of communication, does not personally identify you unless it is combined with your Personal Information.

A. Personally Identifiable Information

Newsletters, Online Postcards, Donations and Other WWF Information
If you subscribe to a WWF e-newsletter, request additional information about WWF, submit a donation online, or participate in any of the other services on the WWF web site that require personal information, we may request your name, mailing address, telephone number, email address, birth year, and eligibility to vote, in order to respond to your inquiries.

WWF may collect and store the information you choose to provide us to send you information about WWF and WWF partners and third parties from time to time. If you make a donation to WWF and elect to pay online, WWF will collect the necessary financial information. WWF collects and stores some information the user chooses to provide, including name, address and email address, to send users information about WWF and WWF partners and third parties from time to time. WWF will not disclose financial information except as necessary to fulfill users' donation requests. WWF collects such financial information in a secure manner and discards such financial information after processing.

Sweepstakes, Contests and Promotions
From time to time, we may request information from you via online polls, surveys, sweepstakes or contests. Participation in these survey, sweepstakes or contests is completely voluntary; you have a choice whether or not to disclose information required to enter. Information requested may include personal contact information such as your name, shipping and email addresses. Contact information will be used to notify winners, award prizes and contact users with further information about WWF products and services, as well as the products and services of WWF partners and third parties.
