INFORMATION HELPS MAKE CONSERVATION HAPPEN
This Data Privacy Policy applies to all personal information we collect and/or process about you. ‘Personal information’ refers to information, or a combination of pieces of information, that could reasonably allow an individual to be identified.
As we acknowledge the generosity and support of individuals like you to carry out our conservation work, we want to be completely transparent about why we need to collect personal details when you engage with us and how we will use them. We take protecting your privacy very seriously and will always take all reasonable steps within our power to make sure your information is safe.
So whenever you browse through our website and communicate with us, we collect information to make us understand more about our supporters and the people we engage with, and this in turn help us to be more efficient in doing our conservation work.
Please read this policy carefully, along with any other documents referred to in this policy, to understand how we collect, use and store your personal information. Updating of this policy may occur without any notification so please check the document regularly. However, you will be notified of any significant changes that may occur.
If you have any questions, please contact our Data Privacy Officer through the email address: kkp@wwf.org.ph

How We Keep Your Data Safe:
We have appropriate physical, technical and managerial controls in place to protect your personal details; for example our online forms are always encrypted and our network is protected and routinely monitored. Within our offices, only those who have a business need to access your information and who are trained in handling data securely will have access to your information. We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. While we hope it will never happen, we have procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and the appropriate government agency of a breach where we are required to do so.
When we use external companies to collect or process personal data on our behalf, we undertake due diligence on these companies before we work with them, and put a contract in place that sets out our expectations and requirements, including keeping and using your data securely. We will also require them to protect the confidentiality of the personal data that is transmitted to them.
Our website may, from time to time, contain links to third party websites. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites will have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.
Despite all of our precautions however, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. So, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information which you disclose to us and so wish to draw your attention that you do so at your own risk.
