Privacy Policy

We at Oregon Wildlife Heritage Foundation are constantly striving to provide excellent service to you, our constituents, while building a long-lasting relationship with you. To achieve these goals, we occasionally need information about you when you visit our site.

Oregon Wildlife Heritage Foundation respects your right to privacy. When you visit owhf.org, you may be providing information to Oregon Wildlife Heritage Foundation on two different levels about your visit: anonymous statistics collected as you browse the site and personal information you knowingly give us. This document lets you know how we handle this information.

Types of data collection

Statistics about your visit

As you browse the site, Oregon Wildlife Heritage Foundation's Web servers collect information about your visit, not about you personally. Via Web server logs, we monitor statistics such as:

• How many people visit our site
• Which pages people visit on our site
• From which domains our visitors come (e.g., "yahoo.com" or "aol.com")
• Which browsers people use to visit our site
  
  

While we gather this information, none of it is associated with you as an individual. We use these statistics to improve our website, to monitor its performance, and to make it easier for you and other visitors to use.

Cookies

A cookie is a small data file that websites often store on your computer's hard-drive when you visit their websites. Whenever you request a page from the website which originally sent the cookie, your browser sends the cookie data back to the website so that the website can detect that you have been there before. A cookie may contain information (such as a unique user ID) that is used to track the pages of the websites you've visited. This information is stored in a safe and secure database. You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser.

Organizational/personal information you knowingly give us

Within owhf.org, you may be asked to give us personal or organizational information in order to participate in a forum, to receive a newsletter or information about a product, or service or to access special services. This information may range from your generic zip code, to your specific phone number, email address, organization URL and mailing address.

Oregon Wildlife Heritage Foundation registration forms

We encourage all visitors to register with owhf.org, although registration is not required. The registration forms require users to give us accurate contact information (like name and email address) and references that help us better serve you. Your name and email address may be used to send you information about our company, product updates, special offers, and newsletters. You may always remove your name entirely from databases.

How we use the information collected

• To improve our Web site - information may be collected to help create Web site content and navigation that is most relevant and user friendly
• To respond to user inquiries and requests for information - this includes registrations for newsletters and specific requests for further information

We do not engage in the practice of selling our customer lists or customer information to third parties. However, we do from time to time engage in joint marketing or other similar arrangements with responsible companies, and in the course of such activities may share our customer information with such parties, which sharing may result in communications by such parties to you. This sharing is done solely as a result of our belief that the information communicated to you by such parties will be of interest to you.

Oregon Wildlife Heritage Foundation has always valued your privacy, and we reinforce this belief throughout our organization. Your information will be protected as described unless the specific Web page says otherwise. If you have further questions about our privacy policy, please Contact us .

Method of Transaction Security

When you make a donation using owhf.com's eCommerce pages, you are transferred from an unsecured web server to a secured web server which utilizes SSL (Secure Socket Layer).  Electronic purchases should ONLY be made on servers that utilize SSL.  The SSL is located on a web site server that is separate from ALL owhf.com services and business locations.  This secure site is where the actual transaction takes place and where all secure personal information such as credit card numbers, expiration dates or mailing addresses are stored.  This secure site is located at a U.S. bank in the United States of America NOT at Oregon Wildlife Heritage Foundation.

Oregon Wildlife Heritage Foundation does not store in any way, shape, or form, secure information such as credit card numbers, expiration dates, checking account numbers, routing numbers, or mailing addresses anywhere on or in its business location.
