Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 13, 2025

​

Mountain Wildlife Conservation Society (“MWCS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit our website (the “Site”), make a donation, sign up for updates, or otherwise interact with us online.

1) Information we collect

We may collect the following types of information:

Information you provide to us

  • Contact details (e.g., name, email address, phone number, mailing address)

  • Donation details (e.g., donation amount, date/time, donation confirmation details)

  • Communications you send us (e.g., messages through forms, email inquiries)

  • Event or volunteer information (if you submit it)

Payment information

  • Donations may be processed by a third-party payment processor. We generally do not store full credit card numbers on our servers. Payment processors may collect and store payment details according to their own policies.

Automatically collected information

  • Basic technical/usage data such as IP address, device type, browser type, pages visited, time spent on pages, referral pages, and approximate location (city/region). This is typically collected through cookies and similar technologies.

2) How we use your information

We use personal information to:

  • Process and receipt donations, and maintain donation records

  • Provide donor support (e.g., resend receipts, answer questions)

  • Communicate with you about MWCS updates, campaigns, events, and opportunities (where you’ve opted in or where permitted by law)

  • Improve the Site, understand usage trends, and troubleshoot issues

  • Protect our organization, donors, and users against fraud, misuse, and security incidents

  • Meet legal, accounting, and regulatory requirements

3) Email and communications

If you subscribe to MWCS emails, you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in the email or by contacting us. Even if you unsubscribe from marketing messages, we may still send administrative/transactional messages (e.g., donation confirmations or important service notices).

4) Cookies and analytics

We may use cookies, pixels, and analytics tools to help operate the Site and understand how it’s used. You can control cookies through your browser settings; however, blocking cookies may affect some Site functionality.

5) How we share information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share personal information only in limited circumstances, such as:

  • Service providers who help us operate the Site and services (e.g., website hosting, email distribution, analytics providers, donation/payment processors). They are provided only the information needed to perform their services.

  • Legal compliance where required by law, court order, or lawful request.

  • Protection and safety to investigate or prevent fraud, security issues, or harm.

  • Organizational changes (e.g., merger, reorganization, asset transfer), where information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable privacy laws.

6) Data retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including legal, tax, and accounting requirements (for example, maintaining donation records and receipts).

7) Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is fully secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8) Third-party links

Our Site may include links to third-party websites (for example, partner sites or donation processors). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

9) Children’s privacy

The Site is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate consent.

10) Your rights and choices

Depending on your location and applicable privacy laws, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you, and to withdraw consent where applicable. To make a request, contact us using the information below.
