IFAW is committed to keeping any data you provide to us safe and secure and we have appropriate and proportionate security policies and organisational and technical measures in place to help protect your information. All IFAW staff and volunteers handling personal information receive comprehensive data protection training. IFAW’s website has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. This includes a firewall and 24-hour monitoring of site activities by our hosting service provider as well as 256-bit SSL encryption protection (where permitted by law) on all transaction oriented operations between you and IFAW via our transaction service provider. We make no representations about any other websites, and when you access any other website through a link on our website (including social media sites), you understand that it is independent from IFAW and that we have no control over that website or the way your personal information is collected through those websites. Those websites may have their own privacy policies and we encourage you to look at those policies or contact the website operators directly to understand how your personal information is used. When we enter into agreements with our service providers we ensure that your personal information is handled securely through contractual agreement. We also do everything we can to protect user-information offline. IFAW offices are securely locked and protected, our computers are encrypted and secured and any hard copies of personal information are kept locked away outside office hours.
