Personally-Identifiable Information– We will explicitly notify you before we collect any personally-identifiable information about you (e.g. your name, email address, contact information, credit card number, etc.), and will not collect any information unless you choose to provide it to us. This information may be shared with National Wildlife Federation for the purposes of fulfilling your orders and requests, responding to any comments or questions you submit, and/or providing follow-up information about TWF, or analysis to help us better understand our member and supporter base. Third parties may be outsourced for one or more of these functions.

If you choose to use TWF’s “tell a friend” or a similar service about TWF services or order a gift certificate for your friend, TWF will store your friend’s name and contact details that you provide to TWF. TWF may use tools or third party analytical software to automatically collect and use certain non-personal data that does not directly enable TWF to identify you. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “non-personal data” means information that does not directly identify you.

Ad Serving Technology– TWF reserves the right to use and disclose the collected non-personal data for purposes of advertisement by TWF or National Wildlife Federation. We may employ third party ad serving technologies that use certain methods to collect information as a result of ad serving through services. We, or third parties operating the ad serving technology, may use demographic and location information as well as information logged from your hardware or device to ensure that appropriate advertising is presented within the service. TWF, National Wildlife Federation or third parties may collect and use data for this purpose including, but not limited to IP address (including for purposes of determining your approximate geographic location), UDID, software, applications, hardware, browser information, internet and on-line usage information and in-game information. The foregoing data may be used and disclosed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the privacy policy of the company providing the ad serving technology. You recognize and agree that the advertising companies who deliver ads for TWF and National Wildlife Federation may combine the information collected with other information they have independently collected from other services or products. These companies collect and use information under their own privacy policies. These ad serving technologies are integrated into services; if you do not want to be subject to this technology, do not use or access services. Although TWF takes commercially reasonable steps to instruct such advertising companies to comply with the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy, TWF does not have access to or control of third party technologies. 4. Publicly Sharing Your Comments and Stories– TWF often receives information from website visitors who have successfully participated in our programs and/or employed our resources. In certain instances, we would like to publicly share the comments and stories we receive by posting this information on our website.

Furthermore, we will not post information in any way that specifically identifies the sender of that information unless the sender approves it. 5. Children’s Information– We respect the privacy of children, and do not collect any more personal information than reasonably necessary to enable them to participate in the activities we offer at our Web site.

Cookies, beacons and tracking– TWF may use “cookies” and other technologies such as pixel tags, clear GIFs and web beacons. TWF treats information collected by cookies and similar technologies as non-personal data. A cookie is a small file stored on your hard disk drive. Cookies may contain different types of information such as site preferences and login information. E-mails and other electronic communications TWF sends to you may contain code that enables TWF to track your usage of the communication, including whether the communication was opened and/or what links were followed (if any). TWF may combine that information to other information TWF has about you and TWF may use that information to improve the services and/or provide customized communications to you. TWF does not use this cookie to link to personally identifiable information on our site. Cookies expire after a period of time specified in the cookie. This ranges from a few hours to years. Some areas of this site require use of cookies for proper navigation. If a user rejects a cookie, they simply will not be able to use that part of the site effectively. 7. Third Party Terms and Conditions– Please note that your access to and use of the services may be subject to certain third party terms and conditions and privacy policies, including but not limited to application stores, mobile software platforms, online gaming platforms, social networking services and payment providers. You recognize and agree that TWF is not liable for any such third party terms and conditions and their use of your personal data. TWF may in its discretion make available links through advertisements or otherwise enable you to access third party products or services. Please note that, while using such products or services, you are using products or services developed and administered by people or companies not affiliated with or controlled by TWF. TWF is not responsible for the actions of those people or companies, the content of their products or services, the use of information you provide to them, or any products or services they may offer. The fact that TWF is linking to those products or services does not constitute our sponsorship of, or affiliation with, those people or companies. Please note that certain services that TWF may offer, such as social networking, may use third party services to provide authentication for the services with a social networking ID or other account. When you register to join or use the services from a third-party gaming or social networking system, certain personally identifiable user and/or membership data may be transferred automatically to and from TWF and you hereby consent to the processing, using, combining, disclosing and retaining of such data in accordance with this Privacy Policy by TWF. 8. Other Security Measures– We provide our members and supporters with a secure experience when they are making a donation or buying merchandise. Our technical security measures include using industry standard 128bit encryption to secure the transfer of data between your browser and our servers. Although we will use all reasonable means to safeguard the privacy of your personal information, transmissions made via the Internet cannot be made absolutely secure. When our forms ask users to enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption method in the industry – Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). While on a secure page, such as our donation form, the lock icon on the top of Web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer and Google Chrome becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open. Please be aware of the open nature of certain social networking and other open features of the services TWF may make available to you. You may choose to disclose data about yourself in the course of contributing user generated content to the services. Any data that you disclose in any of these forums, blogs, chats or the like is public information, and there is no expectation of privacy or confidentiality. TWF is not responsible for any personal data you choose to make public in any of these forums. If you are under 13 years of age or a minor in your country of residence, please ask your legal guardian’s permission to use or access the services. TWF takes children’s privacy seriously, and encourages parents and/or guardians to play an active role in their children’s online experience at all times. TWF does not knowingly collect any personal information from children below the aforementioned age and if TWF learns that TWF has inadvertently gathered personal data from children under the aforementioned age, TWF will take reasonable measures to erase such personal data from TWF’s records. TWF may store and/or transfer your personal data to its affiliates and partners in and outside of EU/EEA member states and the United States in accordance with mandatory legislation and this Privacy Policy. TWF may disclose your personal data to third parties in connection with a merger, consolidation, restructuring, the sale of substantially all of TWF’s stock and/or assets or other corporate change, including, without limitation, during the course of any due diligence process provided, however, that this Privacy Policy shall continue to govern such personal data. TWF reserves the right to amend this policy at any time as needed. We will post changes here, so please check back periodically. Changes will take effect when posted and your continued use of the site will constitute your agreement to the changes.
