We will verify and respond to your request consistent with applicable law, taking into account the type and sensitivity of the Personal Information subject to the request.

For fundraising purposes, WWF shares Personal Information on a limited basis with other nonprofit organizations via list exchanges, and in return receives personal information from those other organizations. Sharing personal information in this manner is characterized as the “sale” of personal information under Applicable Privacy Laws. You have the right under Applicable Privacy Laws to opt out of the selling of your Personal Information, and may submit requests to opt out as noted above.
WWF uses Personal Information for the purposes of targeted advertising. Colorado and Oregon Consumers have the right to opt out of targeted advertising, and may submit requests or adjust their cookie settings to opt out as noted above.
We also process opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control. These signals set your opt-out preferences only for the particular browser or device you are using and any consumer profile that we associate with that browser or device. For information about how to use the Global Privacy Control, please visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org/.

In addition, we may require that you verify your identity as described in the section above entitled “Rights and Requests” or confirm that you provided the agent permission to submit the request.
De-Identified Information
Where we collect information from you that cannot reasonably be used to infer information about, or otherwise be linked to, you, or a device linked to you (“de-identified information”), we will continue to maintain and use the de-identified information only in a de-identified fashion and will not attempt to re-identify the information.
