Your privacy is important to Action on World Health. This policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide to us when visiting, joining, subscribing, or donating to us through www.actionwh.org  (our “Website”) and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information. This policy applies to information we collect on our Website for both Action on World Health Campaign Limited and Action on World Health Foundation. It does not apply to information that we collect offline or through any other means, including from any third party (including through any application or content that may link to or be accessible from our Website), except as described below. Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information. By accessing or using our Website, you agree to this privacy policy.

Information We Collect and How We Collect It

We collect several types of information from and about users of our Website. We collect IP addresses and how visitors use, access and/or navigate throughout our Website, including how you accessed our Website. We collect information by which you may be personally identified, such as name, contact information, and general demographic and financial information (“identifying information”) from you when you provide it to us by filling out forms on our Websites, which includes information provided at the time of registering to use our Website, subscribing to our email updates, making a donation, or requesting further services.

We may use one or more of the following cookies, pixels, web beacons, other data collection technologies, and/or third-party servicers to collect identifying information and information about how you use and/or navigate throughout our Website:

  • Cookies (or browser cookies). A cookie is a small file placed on your browser or computer. You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting(s) on your browser or by choosing to opt out. Unless you adjusted your browser setting(s) so that it will refuse cookies, or opted out of these data collection technologies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our Website.
  • Web Beacons or Pixels. Pages of our Website may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count the number of users who have visited those pages or collect other Website-related statistics.

We use the information that we collect to help us to improve our Website, including its performance, and to deliver a better and more personalized service to you. We may also use your identifying information to contact you about our services that may be of interest to you.

Information We Collect and How We Collect It

In addition to any use of personal information described herein, we may disclose aggregated information about how you use and/or navigate through our Website and information that does not identify any individual without restriction.

We may also disclose your information to the extent necessary to comply with a court order, law or legal process, including to respond to a government or regulatory request.

We have implemented measures designed to secure your information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, authorization, and disclosure. All of the information we collect or that you provide to us is stored by us or by our contractors or service providers on secure servers. We take reasonable steps to ensure that such servers are secure; however, we disclaim any claim that may arise from any security failure by any of our employee, contractor or service provider.

Children Under the Age of 13

Our Website is not intended for children under the age of 13 and no one under the age of 13 should use our Website or provide any personal information to us. In compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we do not knowingly collect personal or identifying information from children under the age of 13. If you are under 13, do not use our Website or provide any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, email address, screen or user name, or anything else. If we learn that we inadvertently collected personal or identifying information from a child under the age of 13, we will delete that information. Residents of certain states under the ages of 13, 16, or 18 may have additional rights regarding the collection and sale of their personal or identifying information. If you believe we might have collected information from or about a child implicating any of those rights without parental or guardian supervision, please let us know by contacting us at contact@actionwh.org.

Mailing List and Opt-out Information

From time to time, we make our contributor list of both offline and online donors available to other organizations to mail. This process is carefully controlled, and it is our hope that you may find information from these groups interesting and helpful. This also saves us a considerable amount of money, which can be used to preserve and protect our shared values. If you would like to be excluded from this, please email us at contact@actionwh.org, and we’ll make sure your name is not included in our mailing list sharing activities. The above excludes text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties. This limitation does not prevent use of personal information as described above that is obtained other than exclusively from our offline or online donor list(s).

If you do not want to receive any email from us in the future, click the “unsubscribe” reference in any email we send you. You may also email contact@actionwh.org to complete the opt-out process or send a letter to our mailing address requesting that we unsubscribe you from our contact lists. Note that absent a specific request, your records will remain in our database, but your log-in and email address will be deactivated.

Any information you provide on the linked pages or to third parties may be provided directly to that third party and can be subject to that third party’s privacy policy whether or not related to or covered by this privacy policy. This privacy policy does not apply to such linked sites, and we are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of those websites or any other sites that are linked to or from our Website.
