How WBS May Use Personal Information Collected Online
WBS will not use your personal information other than for the purpose for which it was submitted without your consent. We use personal information to reply to inquiries, handle complaints, provide operational notices, and in program recordkeeping. We also process business and billing requests related to program participation. At certain points where personal information is collected on our site, there may be a box where you may indicate you would like to be on a list to receive information about other WBS programs and services and about ways to support WBS. At any time you can add or remove your name from our mailing list by contacting us at promo@worldbirdsanctuary.org

How Your Information May Be Shared
WBS never sells or rents personal information.
We will release personal information to appropriate governmental authorities under the following circumstances:

• Where release is required by law (for example, a subpoena) or regulation, or is requested by a government agency conducting investigations or proceedings;
• Where our records indicate a company may be engaged in fraudulent activity or other deceptive practices that a governmental agency should be made aware of; or
• Where your communication suggests possible harm to others.
