 1. About Us


PRIVACY POLICY


LAST REVISED: APRIL 7, 2022

We are World Resources Institute, a global research nonprofit headquartered at
10 G Street NE Suite 800, Washington, D.C. 20002, USA (together with our
affiliates and subsidiaries, “WRI”, “we”, “our” or “us”).

Our organization and network of affiliates spans more than 50 countries. You may
interact with WRI online through various websites, applications (including the
TerraMatch app), emails, social media pages and other online services
(collectively, “Services”).

For each of these Services, this Privacy Policy tells you what to expect we’ll
do with your personal information when you make contact with us or use one of
our services. In particular, this Privacy Policy explains how:

 * we use your personal information when you visit our website, communicate with
   us, or provide us with your personal information in other ways; and
 * we respect your personal information privacy rights.

Donor privacy: WRI and its affiliates do not sell, share, or trade donors’ names
or personal information with other entities or send mailings on behalf of other
organizations. With your permission, on occasion, we may share information with
related organizations in connection with a particular project or campaign you
are interested in. For example, if we are co-hosting an event with a partner
organization and you sign up to attend that event, we may ask your permission to
share your contact details with our partner. See our Donor Privacy Policy.


PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect different kinds of information from you, depending on how you
interact with us.

Online collection: We collect personal information from you when you register to
receive email communications, make donations, apply for jobs, send email
inquiries, register for events, or participate in other parts of our Services.

Depending on the Services you interact with, the information collected may vary
and may include, for example:

 * Identifiers and contact details you choose to provide, such as your name and
   email address;
 * Emails, messages, posts, and other communications and information you choose
   to share via email or over social media;
 * Payment information;
 * Location information: WRI rarely collects location information about you. In
   some cases, we may ask for information about your location for limited
   purposes. For example, users of the TerraMatch application may enable
   collection of geolocation information on their mobile devices in order to map
   the boundaries of a proposed tree planting project. This location data
   collected on TerraMatch is not used for any other purpose or shared with or
   sold to third parties;
 * Educational and employment information (such as your resume or C.V.) that you
   may provide if you apply for a job at WRI;
 * Automatically collected information: We and our third-party service providers
   may collect information about your interaction with our Services using
   cookies and similar automatic data-collection technology. We use this
   information to improve and maintain our Services, collect aggregate site
   usage reports that do not identify you individually, and to optimize site
   users’ experience on the Services. The information we collect includes:
   * Identifiers like IP address and device and browser information.
   * Website and application activity information like clicks, content and page
     views, internet service provider, browser version, domain type.
 * Anonymous or aggregated information: We may use aggregate or deidentified
   data that doesn’t identify you for any lawful business purpose.

Manage Cookie Preferences (some privacy tools or ad blockers might prevent this
tool from running)

Offline collection: We also collect personal information from you when you
provide us with it at conferences or similar events. Such personal information
will typically consist of your organizational or personal contact details,
donation information, or other information you choose to give us.

OUR USE OF YOUR INFORMATION

purposes:

 * providing, developing, improving and maintaining our Services;
 * handling, processing, and communicating with you about donations and other
   ways to contribute to WRI’s mission;
 * registering you for a WRI Service, including on a particular WRI website;
 * providing you with updates, newsletters, data, other research, and/or

 * considering you for employment if you have provided personal information
   pursuant to an application for a job with WRI.


OUTREACH AND COMMUNICATIONS

Where you consent, we use your personal information to provide you with
communications about WRI, including, but not limited to email communications or
information about WRI projects around the world and ways that you can contribute
to our efforts.

We send such communications by:

 * email;
 * phone;
 * social media messages; and
 * any other medium which becomes relevant from time to time.

You can opt-out of receiving communications from WRI at any time by writing to
us at privacy@wri.org or by following the unsubscribe instructions in our

administrative reasons, such as in the event of a material change to our
Services, related policies, or accounts you create with us.


DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

Personal information is disclosed to the following parties:

 * to employees and independent contractors of WRI, analytic vendors, payment
   processing vendors, third party agents and other service providers and
   suppliers if the disclosure will enable that party to perform a business,
   professional, or technical support function for WRI or to perform a service
   that you have requested;
 * to and between entities within the WRI group;
 * where you give us permission to disclose your personal information to third
   parties selected by us in connection with our projects and campaigns;
 * if we are required to do so to comply with a legal requirement or request
   from a competent court, regulator or other authority;
 * where we deem it necessary, in our sole discretion, to protect our legal
   rights or property or the legal rights or property of an individual who
   registers with an WRI service or technology or any third party, or to prevent
   personal injury; and/or
 * in connection with a sale, merger, assignment, reorganization, joint venture
   or other transfer or disposition of a portion or all of our assets or our
   affiliated entities (including, without limitation, in connection with any
   bankruptcy or similar proceedings).

We also disclose non-private, aggregate or otherwise non-personal information to
third parties, including social media companies like Facebook and Twitter for
outreach purposes.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that any personal information about you that
we pass to a service provider or other third party will be held securely by that
party and only be used for the purposes for which it was provided to them.
Except as noted above, information we collect from WRI website visitors will not
be shared with individuals or other companies unrelated to WRI, or that do not
perform a business, professional or technical function for WRI.


SECURITY AND QUALITY

WRI takes reasonable steps to protect the personal information that you provide.
We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your
personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example,
we store the personal information you provide on secured computer servers that
are located in controlled facilities. Additionally, when we transmit sensitive
personal information over the internet, we protect it through the use of
appropriate technological and administrative means.

We do our best to maintain the accuracy of any personal information you supply
to us. You can help WRI update and maintain the accuracy of any personal
information you supply by notifying WRI of any changes to your address, title,
phone number or e-mail address. In some parts of the WRI Services, you may do
this online by following the instructions on membership profile pages. You may
also do this by using the contact information provided below.

Transmission of information on the internet is not completely secure, and we
cannot guarantee the security of information sent on our Services. Transmission
of such information is at your own risk.


TRANSFERS

Where necessary, we may need to transfer your personal information to another
country. These transfers can take place within the WRI group but also may be
made to selected third parties (as explained in the ‘Disclosure of information’
section of this Privacy Policy). Such transfers take place to enable us to
provide you with our services and/or to communicate with you. Countries that we
transfer your personal information to may not have the same personal information
protection standards as the country you live in.


LINKS TO EXTERNAL WEBSITES

WRI’s Services may contain links to other websites belonging to third parties.
These websites are not covered by this Privacy Policy, and we are not
responsible for the privacy practices within any other website. You should be
aware of this when you leave a WRI area, including our websites, and we
encourage you to read the privacy statements of other websites.


PERSONAL INFORMATION ACCESS AND DELETION

You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to have
any inaccuracies corrected. You may also request that we delete the information
we hold about you. Please address requests (with a return email address where

INFORMATION FOR INDIVIDUALS LOCATED IN THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA

European Economic Area (“EEA”) data protection laws offer additional rights and
protections for individuals located in the EEA. Further to the information set

Policy, the following additional information applies to you if you are located
in the EEA:

 * Basis of processing: Where you make a donation to WRI and give us your
   personal information to receive communications related to your donation, we
   process your personal information based on your consent. Likewise, when we
   collect device location data from a TerraMatch user’s device in order to map
   a planting project, we do so only with your consent. When you have made a
   past donation and have not objected to marketing communications, and we send
   you information about how you can continue to support WRI, we process your
   personal information based on legitimate interest.  Where you give us your
   personal information for any other reason, we process your personal
   information for our legitimate business purposes to respond to your requests
   (for example, providing you with access to our websites or providing you with
   newsletter communications that you have requested);
 * Personal information rights: In addition to your right to access personal
   information we hold about you (as set out at the ‘Personal information access
   and deletion' section of this Privacy Policy), you have the right to have
   your personal information rectified or erased, to object to its processing or
   to restrict access to it. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with
   your local data protection authority if you are unhappy with how we process
   your personal information. In certain circumstances, you may also have the
   right to receive a copy of your personal information in a machine-readable
   format or to have your personal information sent to another company.


DONATION PROCESSING PARTNER

WRI has partnered with a third-party service provider, iATS Payments, to process
your online donations. Where you make a donation to WRI online, your personal
information will be shared between WRI and iATS Payments as necessary to
complete your donation, communicate with you about your donation, and as may be
necessary to comply with our legal obligations. Information provided to iATS
Payments is not used for any other purposes.

We encourage you to read the Deluxe Privacy Center policy for information about
how they process your personal information. You will be given an opportunity to
review their privacy policy before you make a WRI donation online.

WRI takes its donors’ privacy seriously. For more information, please see our
Donor Privacy Policy.

protecting your privacy and will make every reasonable effort to keep your
information secure. Due to the rapidly evolving changes on the internet, we may
update this Privacy Policy. All revisions will be posted to the relevant WRI
website. Regularly viewing this Privacy Policy ensures that you are always aware
of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we
will share it with third parties. If you do not agree to the changes, please do
not continue to use the particular WRI website or WRI service through which you
