Privacy Policy

Wild Oceans is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working to protect ocean fish. This policy explains what personal information we collect when you use this website, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.

Who we are

This website is run by Wild Oceans, 407 Lincoln Rd., Suite 6H, PMB 7216, Miami Beach, Florida 33139. You can reach us at (954) 278-9777 or through our Contact Us page.

Information we collect

Information you give us.

• Contact form. If you write to us through the Contact Us page, we receive the name (if you give it), email address, and message you send.
• Newsletter signup. If you ask to receive our newsletter, we receive your email address and any other details the signup form asks for. The form is provided by LGL, a donor and supporter management service.
• Donations. Our donation form is also provided by LGL. We receive your name, contact details, and gift information. Payment card details are handled by LGL and its payment processor, and are not stored on this website.

Information collected automatically. When you visit, our website host and the services that deliver the site may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. They may use cookies or similar technology to run and secure the site. We also use Google Analytics, described below.

Fonts. Our pages load fonts from Google Fonts. This means your browser requests those font files from Google, which receives your IP address.

How we use your information

• To respond to your messages and requests.
• To send our newsletter and updates about our work, if you have signed up.
• To process and acknowledge donations, send receipts, and keep the records the law requires of a charity.
• To operate, secure, and improve this website.
• To comply with the law and protect our rights.

How we share your information

We share personal information only with the service providers that help us run the website, manage email and supporter records, and process donations. They may use the information only to provide those services to us. We may also disclose information when the law requires it, to protect the rights and safety of Wild Oceans and others, or with your consent. We do not sell your personal information.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, to understand how visitors use this website, such as which pages are viewed and how people find us, so that we can improve the site. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technology to collect information such as your IP address, device and browser type, the pages you visit and how long you stay, the site you came from, and your approximate location. We use the reports Google provides in summary form and do not use them to identify individual visitors.

Google processes this information on our behalf and under its own policies. You can learn more at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. To stop Google Analytics from collecting information about your visits, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, or block cookies in your browser settings.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. This site uses cookies and similar technology that are needed to deliver and secure the pages, and cookies from Google Analytics as described above. The services we use, such as the donation and signup forms that appear within our pages, may also set their own. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though parts of the site may not work as expected.

Email and unsubscribing

Every newsletter and update we send includes a way to unsubscribe. You can also ask us at any time to remove you from our list by contacting us using the details below.

Links to other sites

This site links to other websites, including wildoceans.org, Facebook, and X. We do not control those sites, and this policy does not apply to them. Please read their privacy policies.

How long we keep information

We keep personal information for as long as we need it for the purposes described above, and as long as the law requires, for example for donation and tax records. After that, we delete it or make it anonymous.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, but no method of transmission over the internet or of electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your choices and rights

You may ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it. Depending on where you live, such as California or the European Economic Area, you may have additional rights under local law, including the right to object to or limit certain uses of your information. To make a request, contact us using the details below. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on it.

Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. This site does not respond to those signals.

Children

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the new version on this page and change the “Last updated” date at the top.
