Privacy Policy

We See The World
Effective date: October 13, 2026

This policy explains how We See The World (WSW) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit weseetheworld.org, contact us, register for events, purchase a membership or transportation, make a contribution, apply to assist, or opt in to text messages.

Information we collect

We collect information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, telephone number, messages, registration details, membership information, and communication preferences. If you request assistance or transportation, we may collect the accommodation needs and pickup details you provide to arrange those services. Please share only information needed for your request.

When you make a payment, the payment provider collects the payment information needed to process it. WSW may receive transaction details, including the amount, payment status, and purchase information. Payment providers handle card information under their own privacy policies.

Our website and its service providers may collect technical information such as IP address, browser and device details, pages visited, and cookie information to operate the website, maintain security, and understand website use.

How we use information

We use information to respond to inquiries, manage registrations and memberships, process transactions, coordinate events, assistance and transportation, provide customer support, maintain records, improve our services, and meet legal obligations. We use your communication preferences to send updates you request or consent to receive. Giving us a phone number or buying a ticket does not, by itself, enroll you in promotional text messages.

Information sharing

We do not sell personal information. We may provide information needed to operate our services to providers that host our website, process payments, deliver communications, or help coordinate an event or a service you request. For example, a transportation provider may need pickup details. These providers may use the information only to perform their services for WSW, subject to applicable requirements. We may also disclose information when legally required or necessary to protect safety, rights, or security.

Data Sharing

Customer data is not shared with 3rd parties for promotional or marketing purposes.

Mobile opt-in and consent are never shared with anyone for any purpose. Any information sharing that may be mentioned elsewhere in this policy excludes mobile opt-in data.

We See The World Messaging Terms and Conditions

  1. The messaging program consists of general conversational messaging to answer questions and provide support to customers, including inquiries, event registrations, membership, transportation arrangements, and reminders. With your separate marketing consent, we may also send promotional offers, discounts, and messages promoting our products and services. Message frequency varies. Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchase.

  2. You can cancel the SMS service at any time. Just text STOP to the phone number from which you received messages. After you send the SMS message STOP to us, we will send you an SMS message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. After this, you will no longer receive SMS messages from us. If you want to join again, just sign up as you did the first time and we will start sending SMS messages to you again.

  3. If you are experiencing issues with the messaging program, you can reply with the keyword HELP for more assistance, or you can get help directly at weseetheworld26@gmail.com.

  4. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

  5. As always, message and data rates may apply for any messages sent to you from us and to us from you. Message frequency varies based on your interactions, event registrations, and communication needs. If you have any questions about your text plan or data plan, it is best to contact your wireless provider.

  6. If you have any questions regarding privacy, please read our privacy policy contained in the rest of this document/page.

We may keep records of your consent and opt-out requests to honor your choices and meet applicable requirements. We do not treat consent to one type of message as consent to unrelated promotional messages. Giving us a phone number or buying a ticket does not, by itself, enroll you in promotional text messages.

Cookies and third-party services

Cookies and similar technologies may support website functions and analytics. You can manage available cookie choices using the website's Cookie Preferences control and your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some features. External websites, social platforms, embedded media, and payment services have their own privacy policies; this policy covers WSW's handling of information.

Security and retention

We use reasonable safeguards to protect information and limit access to people who need it to provide our services. No internet service can guarantee complete security. We retain information as needed to provide services, honor communication preferences, maintain required business records, resolve disputes, and comply with law. Information is deleted or de-identified when it is no longer needed, subject to those requirements.

Your choices and privacy requests

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete your information, or change communication preferences, through our website contact form. We may verify your identity before acting on a request. Some information may need to be retained for legal obligations or transaction records. You may decline optional information, although that may limit the services we can arrange. Use STOP to withdraw SMS consent and any available unsubscribe option to stop promotional emails.

Children

WSW's services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us so we can address it.

Policy updates and contact

We may update this policy as our services or requirements change. The effective date above identifies the current version. Material changes will be communicated as appropriate.
