1. WHAT PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT

a) Information You Give Us
\nWe collect personal data that you voluntarily share with us. For example, we collect information from you when you request to learn more or to become involved.

The personal data you might provide us may include:

\n
• Personal Information You Provide Through the Site: The Site allows users to submit their name, email address, and organization affiliation through the “Get Involved” option.
\n
• Personal Information You Provide Through Awareness Raising Events: WCS may sponsor short-term awareness raising events through the Wild For All Site which include online participation. The personal information you submit through online participation in an awareness-raising event may include first and last name, contact information, RSVP (as applicable), and any other information you provide as part of your online participation.
\n
• Personal Information You Directly Provide Off-Line: From time to time, WCS may sponsor short-term awareness raising events associated with the Wild For All initiative that give us an opportunity to interact with you directly, not through the Site. For example, we may collect your personal information when you sign-up to receive information during an in-person WCS awareness raising event or if you send personal information to WCS by post. The personal information you may provide off-line may include: name, contact information, and further engagement interests (e.g. marketing materials, collaborations, donations/funding sources, etc.)
\n

You are under no obligation to provide us with personal information. However, we will not be able to process your communication with Wild For All or manage your participation in awareness raising events unless you share the personal information described above with us.

b) Information We Collect Through Technology On The Site
\nWe collect information through technology to enhance our ability to serve you. When you access and use the Site, WCS and, in some cases, our third-party service providers collect information about how you interact with the Site. We describe below methods we use to collect information through technology.

IP Address And Other Connection Information
\nWhen you visit the Site, we collect your device identifier, browser information, and Internet Protocol (IP) address. An IP address is often associated with the portal you used to enter the Internet, like your Internet service provider (ISP), company, association, or university. While an IP address may reveal your ISP or geographic area, we cannot determine your identity solely based upon your IP address. We do not link your personal data to device identifier information, browser information, and IP addresses. Where, according to local law, IP addresses and the like are considered personal data, then we treat them as such.
\n

Do We Use Cookies?
\nYes. Cookies are small files that the Site or our service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser that enables the Site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. We use cookies to help us understand how users use the Site. For example, cookies gather information about how long you spend on a web page so that we can understand what web pages are of most interest to users.

If you prefer, you can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off cookies by adjusting your browser settings. If you turn off your cookies, some of the features on the Site may not function properly.

Google Analytics
\nWe use cookies provided by Google Analytics, a third-party service provider, to assist us in better understanding our Site visitors. These cookies collect data tied to a user’s IP address, such as the length of time a user spends on a page, the pages a user visits, and the websites a user visits before and after visiting the Site. Based on this information, Google Analytics compiles aggregate data about Site traffic and Site interactions, which we use to offer better Site experiences and tools in the future. Google Analytics does not collect any personal data (other than IP Address which may be considered personal data in some countries). For more information on Google Analytics, visit https://support.google.com/analytics.

Web Beacons.
\nWe include small graphic images or other web programming code, called web beacons (also known as “pixel tags”, “web bugs” or “clear GIFs”), on the Site. The web beacons are minute graphics with a unique identifier. They are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored in a user’s computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.

Your ‘Do Not Track’ Browser Setting
\nWe support the Do Not Track (DNT) browser setting. DNT is a preference you can set in your browser’s settings to let the websites you visit know that you do not want the websites collecting your personal data.

Unless you tell us otherwise by selecting the DNT browser setting, we may track your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. For example, we might use web beacons to help us determine what links or advertisers brought you to our Site. We then track your activities on our Site. We also may use web beacons to track your visits to other websites so that third-party service providers can display Company advertisements to you on those other websites based on your activities while on the Site (“remarketing”).

c) Information Third Parties Provide About You
\nWe may supplement the information we collect about you through the Site with records received from Collaborators and third parties to enhance our ability to serve you, to tailor our content to you, and to offer you information that we believe may be of interest to you. For example, the service provider that hosts the Site may share your information collected by technology on the website to help us better enhance the Site.
