Website
The type and amount of information we receive and store depends on how you use our website. You can access all of our web pages without telling us who you are and without revealing any personal information. Our site is hosted on a remote server, which means that the servers are managed and maintained by a third party. The web servers collect anonymous logs during user visits to the website. This information is used to create aggregate statistics, for example about when our website is accessed, the pages which refer visitors to our site, the type of web browsers visitors use and which pages are viewed. These statistics help us understand how our site is used and provide us with valuable information for improving our site in the future.

We do not collect personally identifiable information (such as your name, address, phone number or e-mail address) on our site unless you choose to provide it, for example by donating online. These personal details are kept confidential. Under no circumstances does WFM-IGP sell, release or distribute your personal information.
Use of cookies: A cookie is a text-only piece of information that a website transfers to your computer's hard disk so that the website can remember who you are. A cookie will normally contain the name of the internet domain from which the cookie has come, the "lifetime" of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number. To control how cookies are used on your computer, please read the help information supplied with your internet browser software.

Links: Our website contains links to other websites. Please be aware that we provide these links with good faith that the information available on these sites will help you and your organization. We are not responsible for the privacy policies of these other sites.

Your credit card details will be retained only by the third-party payment processing company and its acquiring bank. In the case of a suspected fraudulent transaction, card details may be disclosed to the store/merchant for the sole purpose of performing further checks.
