World Vision Resources has created this privacy statement in order to
demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy. The following
discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for
this site: www.worldvisionresources.com.
World Vision Resources assures you that the identity of all who contact
us through this website is kept confidential: we do not rent, sell, or
exchange our mailing lists and we will always strive to be responsible
in our management, truthful in our advertising, and cost-effective in
our fund raising. We have been ministering to the poor and suffering
for more than 50 years, and are continually working to ensure every
dollar is used to its fullest for this purpose. Anything less would
violate the trust we keep with you, with the children, families, and
communities we serve, and most importantly, with God.
As with most other Internet sites, our web servers utilize
“cookies” to track a user’s activity
within our site as well as record the IP address of each visitor to
this site. A cookie is a small data file that is stored on your
computer. A cookie contains a unique identifying feature that allows
our computer to recognize you when you return to the World Vision
Resource site. The recorded IP address tells us which domain you
visited from (for instance, aol.com), but not your email address or
other private and personal information. We use the information we
record to help diagnose problems with our servers, to administer this
website more effectively, and to gather broad demographic information
about what countries and domains our visitors hail from and their
behavior on our site.
In some cases our site uses securely encrypted contribution response
forms for visitors who choose to use these forms to provide or request
information. We collect your willingly submitted contact information
(such as your email address), unique identifiers, and financial
information (such as a credit card type, number, and expiration date).
Contact information from these response forms is used to process
purchases, provide receipts and other information about World Vision
Resources to our customers. The visitor's contact information is also
used to get in touch with the visitor when necessary in order to
resolve customer service issues or questions. Users may readily opt-out
of receiving future communications; see the Opt-Out and Modifying Your
Information" sections below. Financial information that is collected is
used to bill the user for ordered placed.
Those who choose to register through various "guestbook"-type features
on our site may choose to give us certain contact information (such as
their email address). These features may also request optional
demographic information (such as zip code, age, or income level).
Unless you "opt out," we may use this contact information to send you
additional information about World Vision Resources and its materials.
Your voluntarily provided contact information may also be used to
contact you when necessary in order to resolve customer service issues
or questions. You may readily opt-out of receiving future
communications; see the "opt-out" and "modifying your information"
sections below.
Opt-Out
Most points on our site provide users the opportunity to opt-out of
receiving communications from us at the point where we request contact
information about the visitor. There are, however, a few places where
users do not have the opportunity to opt-out of receiving
communications. Should you wish to opt-out, contact us at
wvresources@worldvision.org
or 1800-777-7752 and we will unsubscribe
you from receiving further communications from us.
Users may also opt-out at any time by contacting us following the
