The following Privacy Policy applies to information collected on the website www.conservation.org, on online services owned or operated by CI, and on mobile applications ( “Websites”). By accessing and continuing to use the Websites, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. INFORMATION COLLECTED
Personally Identifiable Information
Personally Identifiable Information (”Personal Information") is information that identifies you (or makes you identifiable) such as your name, telephone number, email and mailing address, credit card number (if you use a credit card to make a donation), or organizational affiliation. CI and its service providers only collect Personal Information when you submit it to sign up for our personalized services (such as a newsletter) or to make a donation.
- We may collect Personal Information that you provide to us by phone, email, through an in-person conversation, or through online and offline forms such as CI newsletters, surveys, donation forms, event registrations, contests, donation requests, donation-related communications, and advocacy notices that you fill out.
- When you interact with CI on social media, we may collect basic profile information (including your name and profile biography), your number of followers, your social sharing activity, and your content preferences on your social media platforms.
- We may also collect information provided by you (or about you) from other public sources (online and offline) such as LinkedIn or information published in media (online or in print), in addition to your use of the Websites or your communication with us. For example, when you attend one of our events, we may ask for your contact information to inform you later about other opportunities to engage in CI's mission (see also Section 2, Use of Information).
Device and Location Information
When you visit our Websites, some information is automatically collected such as the IP address of your computer and the type of browser used. We also get information about incoming domain names and page views. Such data tells us which pages users visit and what information they provide (such as information from searches and/or registrations on websites).
Cookies
We also collect information about your use and activity on our Websites; for this, we use certain technologies such as cookies, web beacons, and others (see our Cookie Policy for additional information).
2. USE OF INFORMATION
Personal Information
We will collect and process your Personal Information only where we have a legal basis to do so. The legal basis includes, but is not limited to, your consent (if you have given it) and CI's legitimate interest in operating, managing, and promoting the organization, maintaining our relationship with you, and protecting CI and our Websites, provided it does not override your rights and freedoms. You have the right to withdraw or refuse your consent at any time and, in cases where we rely on legitimate interests, you may have the right to object to the processing. If you have any questions about the legal basis for collecting and using Personal Information, please contact info@conservation.org.
Examples of uses of Personal Information if you have given us consent:
- to notify you of CI news and events if you have subscribed to CI's newsletter
- to contact you regarding contests or sweepstakes in which you have entered through our Websites and to invite you to participate in new contests and sweepstakes
- to process your donations (see also Section 4, Security)
- to decide on grant funding, to perform due diligence related to funding, and to administer CI funding contracts
Examples of use and sharing of Personal Information for legitimate interests:
- to personalize your Web experience or the content you receive through email
- to answer your questions
- to encourage interaction with content on social media platforms
- for internal data analysis such as identifying trends, determining the effectiveness of past and current campaigns, enhancing and planning future digital strategies
- to conduct research on supporters and potential supporters
Examples of use and sharing of Personal Information on other legal grounds permitted by law:
- in response to a request from a police authority
- in response to a notice or when we are legally required to do so as in response to a court order or other legal obligation
- to protect the security or confidentiality of our records

- to manage corporate transitions as receiverships
Combination, Aggregation and Analysis of Information
With your consent, we may combine and use data analysis, to interpret your information and to predict the probability that you will be interested in (or receptive to) a particular campaign or communication related to fundraising.
If we conclude that you are interested in supporting CI initiatives at a more specific level, we may collect additional information (publicly available) and analyze it in a donor profile, allowing us to interact in a more personalized way. The goal is to understand your philanthropic interests and your capacity to support us. In this case, we will combine information from public sources and other data sources made available (publicly) on social media channels. We may also use reliable third-party companies that analyze available information such as WealthX and Blackbaud. You may withdraw your consent for your data to be combined and analyzed (for research on potential supporters) by simply contacting us as described in Section 3 (Your Options).
In some cases, we may combine Personal Information with Device Information or Location Information. In doing so, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information.
We may aggregate and collect non-personally identifiable information (from you and other users), as well as Device Information or Location Information, to generate general statistics unrelated to you or any specific user. The intention is to offer a better experience, improve the services and analyze trends in the use of the Websites. CI will seek to use the best standards and practices of the market, to allow only the unidentified use of the data.
Sharing
Some of the ways we use your Personal Information require us to share information with third parties, to provide a good user experience, and to comply with applicable laws:
Professional Service Providers and Consultants. Third party companies contracted to process information --based on our instructions-- and in accordance with this policy. Some of the information acquired may be collected by third-party companies on our behalf. For example, when participating in a quiz (knowledge test) on the CI website, all Personal Information submitted by you is stored in the database of the quiz provider, to share with CI.
Police authorities or government bodies. We only share information if the disclosure is necessary and reasonable, to comply with the law, to protect the property, rights, or safety of any person or CI, and to detect, prevent, resolve technical, fraud, or security issues.
Affiliates. In the event that we undergo a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, receivership, process, or similar transaction that involves the transfer of the information described in this policy, we would share your information with a party involved in the process (such as CI's successor organization).
Cloud service. Due to the possibility of using some cloud services, your Personal Information may be stored and processed on servers located abroad and will only be provided to third parties in the form of Law and/or by court order.
Retention
We retain your Personal Information only for as long as required by law or to fulfill the purposes of this policy. If there is no need, we will remove your Personal Information from our systems or anonymize it so that you cannot be identified.

4. SECURITY
We use administrative, physical, technical (appropriate and reasonable) measures to protect the Personal Information controlled by CI. Only employees who are required to perform a specific task are given access to Personal Information.
All online donation transactions are encrypted using the Secure Socket Layers (SSL) protocol. These transactions are processed through Blackbaud, which is a Verisign-protected gateway provider and compliant with the PCI DSS standard, and are not stored or processed on CI servers. Blackbaud acts as the controller of your credit or debit card information. PCI DSS is the payment card industry security requirement for entities that store, process, or transmit cardholder data. PCI DSS compliance gives consumers confidence that organizations that accept donations do so securely and with constant verification. Convio has achieved Level 1 compliance with PCI – the highest level validation. Using Verisign SSL certificates provides the highest level of encryption available. These comprehensive standards aim to help CI proactively protect your account data – a responsibility we take very seriously.

6. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
We recognize the importance of protecting children's privacy on the Web and we never collect or maintain, on our Websites, information from people about whom we are certain to be under the age of 13. No part of our Websites is directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not intentionally collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
