Our Privacy Policy
effective 05/28/03
Personal contact information we collect and what we do with it
When you are making a donation, purchasing a product, expressing an interest
in referring a wish child, contributing to our guest book, or subscribing to
our online newsletter, we ask you for personal contact information, including
your name, mailing address, phone number, and e-mail address. We will use this
contact information to provide you with information or resources you have requested,
such as information about the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a receipt, or a financial
report, or we will use your information to contact you to clarify or verify other
information, such as an order you placed or a donation you made.
We will not add your name and contact information to any mailing
lists without your express permission. In other words, we will
always ask you before adding
you to a mailing list. If we do not ask, you will not be added. If you have
asked to be added to one of our mailing lists, such as our e-mail
newsletter list or
regular mailing list, then you may receive from us news about the Make-A-Wish
Foundation and information on how you can support the organization's mission.
Personal contact information is not shared with any organization
outside of the Make-A-Wish Foundation and our agents (reputable
companies we use for services,
such as shipping Make-A-Wish Foundation products or sending Make-A-Wish Foundation
mail). We have contracts to protect your privacy with all of our agents.
Other contact information we collect and what we do with it
In some instances, we ask for contact
information for people other than yourself – for
example, e-mail addresses of friends to whom you wish to send a copy
of one of our pages or the mailing address of someone you wish to
have
us notify of a donation
you have made. Such contact information is not added to any mailing list
nor is the information shared with any other organization. Collecting
such information
for our own use is called prospecting. The Make-A-Wish Foundation does
not prospect.
How to view or change your information
With the exception of credit card numbers, which are not retained,
you can view and request changes to all the information you have given us, including any mailing lists you may be on, by contacting us one of two ways:
