Who we are
Benefitsworld.org (BW) is a NGO (non governmental agency). While we are philanthropic, we are not a non-profit, and may operate other websites. We will respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Usage
Websites frequently collect non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. BW’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how BW’s visitors use its website. This allows BW to optimize the website and deliver the best results to our site visitors. Periodically BW may publish a usage report on trends in the usage of its website, releasing non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate.
Information Gathering
There are types of interactions on the website that require BW to gather personally-identifying information. Differing levels of interactions require different amounts and types of information. BW will only collect the appropriate amount of information necessary for the specific interaction. For example, signing up for our mailing list is a basic interaction only requiring your name and email. If that same visitor was to engage in a purchasing transaction, then it would require an additional amount and type(s) of information. Higher level interactions such as purchasing or transacting may require necessary personal and financial information to process those transactions. In any case, BW will not collect information beyond the interaction’s information parameters. BW does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described in this privacy policy. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the full disclosure that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
BW takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
BW only discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on BW’s behalf or to provide services available at BW’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using BW’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.
BW will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, BW discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when BW believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of BW, third parties or the public at large. BW takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
