Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy
At W. Sherman Winseman Foundation, (WSWF) we are committed to protecting your privacy. The
following will provide you with a thorough understanding of our policies.

 

Collection and Use of Personal Information

When you visit our website we do collect basic information. This includes the number of visitors to our
site, total pages viewed, and other anonymous data. We use this information to generate statistics and
measure site activity to improve the usefulness of our site to our visitors.

We may collect email addresses and other personally identifiable data about visitors when it is
voluntarily submitted. For example, when making a donation or signing up for our email list. We use
this information to process your donation, send a tax-deductible receipt, and to keep you informed
about our programs.

You may contact W.S.W. Foundation to see what data we have about you, if any, change or correct any
data we might have about you, delete any data we have about you, or express any concern you have
about our use of your data at any time by emailing WSWFoundation@Gmail.com or calling
626.310.3131.

Sharing of Personal Information
W.S.W. Foundation does not sell or otherwise disclose user information outside the
organization. However, if you decide to donate to W.S.W. Foundation, some information on our donor
lists, such as your name and address, may be exchanged with other organizations. You may opt out of
such donor list exchanges by contacting us via email at WSWFoundation@Gmail.com by phone
at 626.310.3131

Security
At W.S.W. Foundation, we take precautions to protect your personal information. When you submit
sensitive information via our website, your information is protected both online and offline.

Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and
transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of
your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your
information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted
access to personally identifiable information. The computer and servers in which we store personally
identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

If you feel that we are not abiding by this, you can contact us immediately via telephone at
626.310.3131 or via email at WSWFoundation@Gmail.com

Record Retention
W.S.W. Foundation expects all employees to fully comply with any published records retention or
destruction policies and schedules. The law requires that W.S.W. Foundation maintains certain types of
corporate records, usually for a specified period of time. From time to time, IDA will establish retention
or destruction policies or schedules for specific categories of records in order to ensure legal
compliance, and also to accomplish other objectives.

Whistle Blower Policy
W.S.W. Foundations’ Code of Ethics and Conduct requires directors, officers, and employees to observe
high standards of business and personal ethics in the conduct of their duties and responsibilities. No
director, officer, or employee who in good faith reports a violation of the Code shall suffer harassment,
retaliation, or adverse employment consequence. An employee who retaliates against someone who
has reported a violation is subject to discipline up to and including termination of employment. This
Whistle blower Policy is intended to encourage and enable employees and others to raise serious
concerns within W.S.W. Foundation prior to seeking resolution outside the organization.

This website uses Google AdWords
This website uses the Google AdWords remarketing service to advertise on third party websites to
previous visitors to our site. It could mean that we advertise to previous visitors who haven’t completed
a task on our site, for example, signing up to a newsletter. This could be in the form of an advertisement
on the Google search results page, or a site in the Google Display Network. Third-party vendors,
including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to the W.S.W. Foundation
website. Of course, any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and
Google’s privacy policy. We cannot see any of your personal information, and we do not sell data to
anyone else.

You can set preferences for how Google advertises to you using the Google Ad Preferences page, and if
you want to you can opt out of interest-based advertising entirely by cookie settings or permanently
using a browser plugin.
