Information WDF Collects

1. Information You Provide

   The type and amount of information we collect depends on why you are providing it. In certain cases, the information we collect includes “personal information,” which means data that allows someone to identify you, including, for example, your name, address, geographic location of your computer or mobile device, telephone number, and/or email address.

   We always collect and process your personal information in a lawful manner. We also comply with data minimization principles. In other words, through your use of the Website, we try to collect and process only the minimal amount of personal information required to deliver the Website to you. We do, however, provide avenues where you are able to supply additional information voluntarily through the Website. If we collect information about you through the Website other than as described in this Policy, we will give you notice and/or seek your explicit consent.

   The information we collect (including personal information) when you make an enquiry or contact WDF via the Website or email includes your name, organization, email address, and any information you include in your message to WDF.

   If you make a donation to WDF, we will use a third party payment processor to process that donation, which is currently PayPal. If you choose to make a donation via our third party payment processor, you will be asked to provide certain information to process that payment and for identification and verification, such as your PayPal account information, name, credit, debit or other card number, card expiration date, and/or CVV code. This information is encrypted and sent to the third party payment processor. We do not store or have access to this payment information, however, we may receive other personal information about you, such as your name and/or email address. Note that our third party payment processors may retain this information in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms.

WDF may use your IP address for internal purposes such as knowing which countries provide certain percentages of its Users. WDF does not distribute your IP address to any other person or entity.
