Our Commitment to Privacy -- Sempervirens Fund is committed to complying with members' and visitors' wishes about the use of personal information entrusted to us.
How and Why We Obtain Information Online --
  • As with most other Internet sites, our web servers record the IP address of each visitor to this site, but not your e-mail address. The IP information is used to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer this website more effectively, and to gather broad demographic information about visitor's domains and countries of origin.
  • Personal information about visitors may also be obtained from this site through transactional activity (for example, online donations or online shopping), but only with your express permission. This information is used to insure that transactions are accurately fulfilled, to provide donation receipts, and to provide enhanced service levels, including rapid transaction processing for returning donors/shoppers.
  • Visitors' contact information may also be used to send the visitor news about Sempervirens Fund's redwood preservation projects or programs, and the projects and programs of (only) selected other environmental non-profit organizations. Visitors may opt-out of receiving such information.
