Our Commitment to Privacy

Way Finders values the trust our users and customers place in us when they give us access to their Personal Information. The Privacy Policy describes how we work to maintain that trust and protect that information.

Way Finders has created this Privacy Policy in order to describe its collection, use and disclosure of personal data you give to Way Finders when you access or use Way Finders online and/or mobile services and websites, and software provided by Way Finders on or in connection with such   services or websites (collectively, the “Site”). “Way Finders” or “we” means Way Finders Inc. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on every page of our website.

The Information We Collect

This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the Way Finders website. On some pages, you can register for events, to make a donation, or to receive materials or more information about Way Finders or its programs. The types of personal information collected at these pages are information pertinent to shipping materials or processing payments and personal or company/organization contact information.

Way Finders may automatically collect and analyze information from your computer or mobile device, including, but not limited to, your browser type, operating system, IP address and the domain name from which you accessed the Site, and if you are accessing our Site with your mobile device, the type of mobile device. In addition, we may automatically record and analyze actions taken on the Site including, but not limited to, date and times of use, clicks, page views, the amount of time you spend on each page, and search queries.

If you submit to Way Finders any personal information relating to other people, you represent that you have the authority to do so and permit us to use the information in accordance with this privacy policy.

The Way We Use Information

We use the information you provide about yourself only to fulfill a request or to keep you updated about future events or opportunities through Way Finders. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to register you for an event or to process a payment or donation.

We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and to share with our partners or funders. For example, we may tell a funder that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number of men and Z number of women filled out our registration form, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.

Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above.

Only those who need the information provided to perform a specific task have access to your information.
