Privacy Notice |
 |
This statement discloses the privacy policy of Worldwide Inventory Network. Worldwide Inventory Network reserves the right to collect Personal Information from visitors to the domain WINwarehouse.org ("Web Site"). "Personal Information" is any information that allows one person to be identified or contacted by another, including -- but not limited to -- information about or relating to that person's name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
A "WINwarehouse Account Holder" is anyone who has created or currently has a My WINwarehouse Profile.
Visitor Consent
By visiting our Web Site, you give Worldwide Inventory Network permission to process your Personal Information according to this Privacy Policy. Personal Information may be processed in the country where it was collected, as well as in countries where privacy laws may be less stringent, including the United States.
General Security
Worldwide Inventory Network takes reasonable precautions to prevent the loss, misuse, and unauthorized alteration of Personal Information under our control. Any Personal Information submitted to the Web Sites is protected during transmission by a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 128-bit encrypted certificate from GeoTrust. (One exception: email addresses submitted by users to subscribe to one or more of Worldwide Inventory Network’s newsletters are not protected during transmission.) In addition, Worldwide Inventory Network servers are protected by a firewall. Yet technical mistakes are possible, and Worldwide Inventory Network cannot fully eliminate every security risk associated with gathering Personal Information on our Web Sites. (Please see our Terms of Use for more information.)
Information We Collect
When you access any part of our Web Site, our Web server software automatically logs information provided by your network connection and Web browser software, including the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your network connection and the type of Web browser and operating system that you are using. Our Web server may also log the URL of the file that you are requesting, the current date and time, and the URL of the last Web page requested by your Web browser.
Worldwide Inventory Network analyzes this aggregated information to learn more about how visitors use our Web Sites, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track visitor movement, and to gather general demographic information for reporting and sponsorship purposes. We do not attempt to match the Personal Information of individual visitors to information logged by our server.
To request merchandise from Worldwide Inventory Network, a visitor must be a WINwarehouse Account Holder with a My WINwarehouse Profile. To create a My WINwarehouse Profile, visitors must submit their name and email address. Worldwide Inventory Network retains My WINwarehouse Profile information to enable Account Holders to retrieve lost passwords, and so that we can contact users about site-related topics in which they have expressed interest, or which we believe may be of interest to them. We also analyze this My WINwarehouse Profile information and use it to guide our business goals and to better serve our audience.
In addition to their name, title, and email address, visitors who request merchandise through WINwarehouse.org ("WINwarehouse not-for-profit partners") are also required to provide Worldwide Inventory Network with their organization's name, type, mission, budget, and contact information. Worldwide Inventory Network retains this information so that we can track requests to completion, facilitate customer-service requests, and inform customers of important changes to our program that may affect them.
When a visitor subscribes to one or more of WINwarehouse.org's newsletters, we ask only for an email address, name, organization name and type which we retain so that we can send the newsletter automatically. We do not retain other Personal Information, except in cases when the visitor has used the same email address to create a My WINwarehouse Profile.
From time to time, Worldwide Inventory Network receives Personal Information about visitors of its Web Sites via offline sources like telephone or fax. We may use this in combination with visitor information collected online in order to improve the services we provide.
Cookies
Worldwide Inventory Network utilizes cookies on our Web Sites to record when visitors have logged in, thus preventing My WINwarehouse Account Holders from having to log in more than once during a single visit. We employ cookies to monitor overall site activity and trends as well.
WINwarehouse.org also uses cookies to retain information on what products Registered My WINwarehouse Visitors have placed in their shopping carts so they need not start from scratch if they are unable to complete an order in one session.
Visitors to our Web Site have the option of disabling or not accepting cookies by changing the preferences in their Web browsers. If visitors opt to disable cookies, they will still be able to access our Web Site. However, they will not be able to use the My WINwarehouse functionality, or request merchandise using WINwarehouse.org.
When We May Contact You
Worldwide Inventory Network regularly sends email alerts to let visitors know about new donated products to its online catalog. Registered My WINwarehouse Account Holders are automatically signed up to receive these new product announcements, along with print catalogs from Worldwide Inventory Network and notices about special promotions, events, and surveys. We may also email Registered My WINwarehouse Account Holders about services offered by outside partner organizations. These emails will always originate from Worldwide Inventory Network, not from the partner organization.
My WINwarehouse Account Holders may also occasionally receive site and service announcement updates via email. Registered My WINwarehouse Account Holders should not unsubscribe from these announcements, as they contain important information about changes to our services.
How To Opt Out
To unsubscribe from email updates from Worldwide Inventory Network such as New Product Alert, you can remove your name from the mailing list by following the instructions at the bottom of the email message.
Forward this Mailing
When a visitor uses the "Forward This Mailing" function on WINwarehouse.org emails, Worldwide Inventory Network may retain the friend's name and email address so that we may send the friend an email message inviting him or her to visit the Web Site. Worldwide Inventory Network stores this information temporarily for the sole purpose of sending this one-time message and for our own internal analysis. All additions to our email lists must opt in before receiving regular updates.
Updating Your Information
If a Registered My WINwarehouse Information changes, Worldwide Inventory Network will endeavor to correct, update, or remove the personal data that was provided to us.
If a Registered My WINwarehouse Account Holder wants to update information in his or her record on WINwarehouse.org, he or she may do so by following the instructions on WINwarehouse.org. He or she will first be required to log in to his/her My WINwarehouse Account, and then go to their profile page to make all desired changes. If a visitor experiences difficulty altering his/her profile, she or he should contact Customer Service via email at WIN@winwarehouse.org. Please note that Worldwide Inventory Network will only ship donated merchandise to authorized not-for-profit partners at confirmed addresses. Additional information and documentation may be necessary to change your organization’s address.
Surveys & Case Studies
We may request information from visitors via surveys on our Web Site. We may also email surveys to Registered My WINwarehouse Account Holders. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary. This information may include demographic data (such as zip code and age), and/or information about a respondent's role in the new organization. This information is intended for analytical use and will not be used to identify individuals.
We may ask for the voluntary contribution of Personal Information to enable us to contact individuals for follow-up interviews. Provision of such information is completely voluntary. We may also request permission of selected survey respondents to publish information about them on our Web Sites. Provision of such information is also completely voluntary and survey respondents are not obligated to grant permission to us to publish information about them.
Survey results may be publicized in the aggregate and may be used for assessing and improving the experience and satisfaction of our visitors.
Occasionally, Worldwide Inventory Network or one of our donating partners may ask WINwarehouse.org Not-for-profit partners who have received product donations to participate in a case study, provide a testimonial, or complete a survey. If the donor that has provided the merchandise requires the customer's willingness to participate in any such study as a prerequisite for receiving a donation, this will be explicitly stated in the guidelines for that donation program.
Disclosing Information To Third Parties
We share aggregated information about our Registered My WINwarehouse Account Holders (and potential clients) with our partners, sponsors, and donors.
We may share information about individual organizations and individuals affiliated with Worldwide Inventory Network where it is necessary to secure funding to ensure the continued availability of our services or to develop outreach programs with our partners.
Worldwide Inventory Network shares the individual records of WINwarehouse.org Account Holders who request merchandise from Worldwide Inventory Network with the company that donated the requested product. These individual records include the organization and contact information provided by the WINwarehouse.org Account Holder.
Worldwide Inventory Network may also share your organization's information with selected vendors, business partners, and other organizations that provide certain services on Worldwide Inventory Network’s behalf.
Examples of services that may require the dissemination of Personal Information to outside parties include but are not limited to: fulfilling orders and delivering packages of donated products; sending email and postal mail; processing credit card payments; mailing and delivering prizes; and answering customer questions about products and services. We will only share with outside parties the Personal Information they need to deliver the specific service that they are contracted to provide.
Except as otherwise stated in this document at this time, or as revised in the future, we will not license, transmit, sell, rent or otherwise distribute email addresses or any other information to third parties, except as provided otherwise in this privacy statement. We share this kind of information with partners of Worldwide Inventory Network who require that information in order to provide customer service, to complete orders that have been submitted, or to track donation activity.
Although we currently do not have a parent company, any subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under a common control (collectively, "affiliates"), we may in the future. If so, we may share some or all of Personal Information we collect with these affiliates, in which case we will require our affiliates to honor this Privacy Policy. If our company or our assets are acquired by another company, that company will then own the Personal Information collected by us and it will assume the rights and obligations regarding your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy.
We may disclose Personal Information we collect if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with relevant laws or to protect and defend the rights or property of Worldwide Inventory Network or visitors of the Web Site.
