What information we collect from you

When you register with WorldCauses.org, we ask for the basics -- including your name, email address and password. We also ask for your billing information; however, we do nothing with it if you are signing up for a test account. We request it initially to make life easier for both you and us. This keeps you from having to re-log in and do it later; however, if you cancel your account at any time, we DELETE all of your billing information and it is not stored.For all WorldCauses.org visitors -- not just registered users -- we collect information such as IP addresses, browser type, domain names, access times, duration of visit, referring URL, platform, new/repeat information, timestamp and exit page information. One of the uses for which this data is gathered is for statistical purposes so that we may analyze trends and performances over time. WorldCauses.org may use third-party service providers to help us gather and analyze information about our customers. These service providers are contractually restricted from using your information in any manner, other than in helping us to provide you with the products and services available on our Site.If you contact our Customer Care department, we will also collect the information you provide that details the nature of your question or problem to enhance the quality of our Site.

How your information is usedThe data we gather is used to manage your account, notify you of relevant changes to your account, contact you if problems and, from time to time, send you update messages. All data is saved in a secure environment. The information we collect helps us better serve you. For example:WorldCauses.org also uses the information that we gather to target content on our Site to more closely match your interests and, if you have selected to receive email communication from us, to target email marketing messages that are more appropriate to your needs.

How your information is protectedWorldCauses.org maintains data handling and storage practices and procedures that are designed to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of customer information. When you create an acount on WorldCauses.org, you are doing so in a safe and secure environment. Credit card information is transmitted online using industry standard security measures called secure socket layer encryption (SSL). Current Internet security methods and technologies are used to prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure correct use of information. This means that information such as your credit card number is encrypted, sent through the Internet as a jumbled code, then decoded and passed on to WorldCauses.org's secure systems. These safeguards are expressly implemented for the purpose of protecting your information. WorldCauses.org also employs additional security measures for credit card usage. For example, when you book on our Site, we may require that you provide the credit card identification number -- a security code that helps validate bookings.

When we may share your informationWorldCauses.org will share your information with business firms contracted to provide specific services to us, in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy. For instance, if WorldCauses.org were to hold a sweepstakes offer on our Site, we may choose to hire a Sweepstakes Administration firm to handle the legal requirements surrounding entrant and winner selection and validation. From time to time, we may share general statistical information about our Site and visitors -- such as number of visitors, aggregate and non-personally identifiable demographic data, number and type of goods and services booked, etc. -- with our advertisers and partners. However, we do not reveal your name, address or other personal data for anything other than the use it was originally intended without giving you the opportunity to opt out.WorldCauses.org may disclose information about you to others if we have a good-faith belief that we are required to do so by law or legal process, to respond to claims, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of WorldCauses.org or others. This includes, but is not limited to, customer fraud, technical malfunctions, or abuse of our network or systems. We also may provide customer information to third parties, such as credit card companies, for the purpose of resolving disputes that arise in the normal course of business.
