This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which Whole Vashon Project (“WVP”) collects, uses, maintains and discloses information collected from users (“You” or “Users”) of our website located at http://wholevashonproject.com/ (“Website”).

The Types of Information WVP Collects

NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

WVP collects non-personally identifiable information about you whenever you visit our Website. Such information may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, your Internet service provider, the browser you used, the time you visited the Website and which pages you viewed.

WEB BROWSER COOKIES AND BEACONS

We use “cookies” and “web beacons” to enhance your experience with the Website. A cookie is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored in a user’s web browser while the user is browsing that website. Every time the User loads the Website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server to notify the Website of the user’s previous activity. A web beacon (or pixel tag) is an often transparent graphic image (usually no larger than 1 pixel x 1 pixel) that is placed on a website or in an e-mail that is used to monitor the online behavior of the user visiting the Website or sending the e-mail. WVP uses cookies and web beacons to measure aggregate web statistics, such as collecting the number of Users to the Website, the number of repeat Users and the most popular webpages, the location and time when Users visit the Website, and other purposes. WVP does not use cookies or web beacons to track User activity on an individual basis. You may choose to set your web browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so, however, some parts of the Website may not function properly.

PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

WVP collects personally identifiable information (such as names, mailing addresses and email addresses) from Users when they voluntarily provide such information to us, including, for example, when Users sign up to receive our email alerts, when Users sign a form to volunteer for WVP, or when Users make a financial donation to WVP.

How WVP Uses the Information it Collects

WVP uses Users’ personal information to better understand how Users use the Website so that WVP can improve the Website and its offerings. WVP also uses Users’ personal information for the purpose for which the Users provided the information, in other words, to provide requested information, to process a donation, or to otherwise fulfill a request. If you provide WVP with your email address and/or mailing address, WVP will add you to its email and/or mailing list, and may contact you with information that WVP thinks will be of interest to you. If at any time you wish to stop receiving communications from WVP, please follow the unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of any email WVP sends you, or send WVP an email and ask to be removed from WVP distribution lists.

By providing your mobile number you consent to receive communications and messages from Whole Vashon Project and its affiliates, concerning WVP-related news, action opportunities, and other important information.

How WEC Protects User Information

WVP adopts appropriate data collection, storage, and processing practices and security measures to help protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your personal information, but WVP cannot guarantee that your information is 100% secure. Your credit card information is stored in a manner that is PCI compliant.

SHARING PERSONAL INFORMATION

WVP may release personal information if required to do so by law, or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal laws or to respond to a court order, subpoena, or search warrant.

THIRD PARTY WEBSITES

WVP may provide links from the Website to other websites. WVP does not control the content or links that appear on these third party websites and is not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from the Website. These websites and services have their own privacy policies. Browsing and interaction on any other website, including websites that have a link to or from WVP’s Website, is subject to that website’s own terms and policies. This Privacy Policy covers only information collected through the use of WVP’s Website. In addition, WVP does not currently respond to web browser “do not track” signals.

COMPLIANCE WITH CHILDREN’S ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT

Protecting the privacy of the young is especially important. For that reason, WVP never collects information at the Website from those WVP knows are under 13, and no part of the Website is structured to attract anyone under 13. If WVP becomes aware of having information about anyone under 13, WVP will promptly delete the information.

CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

If you reside in California and have provided your personally identifiable information to WVP, you may request information once per calendar year about WVP’s disclosures of certain categories of your personally identifiable information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Such requests must be submitted to WVP at info@wecprotects.org.

WVP may update this Privacy Policy at any time. When it does, WVP will revise the updated date at the bottom of this page. WVP encourages Users to frequently check this page for any changes to stay informed about what information WEC collects and how it uses that information. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this Privacy Policy periodically and become aware of any modifications since your last visit.
