Privacy Policy
Personal contact information we collect and what we do with it
When you are subscribing to our regular mailing list or subscribing to our online newsletter, we ask you for personal contact information, including your name, mailing address, phone number, and e-mail address. We will use this contact information to provide you with information or resources you have requested, such as information about the Make-A-Wish Foundation or a financial report, or we will use your information to contact you to clarify or verify other information, such as a wish child that you have referred.
Personal contact information is not shared with any organization outside of the Make-A-Wish Foundation and our agents (reputable companies we use for services, such as sending Make-A-Wish Foundation mail). We have contracts to protect your privacy with all of our agents.
Other contact information we collect and what we do with it
In some instances, we ask for contact information for people other than yourself – for example, e-mail addresses of friends to whom you wish to send a copy of one of our pages. Such contact information is not added to any mailing list nor is the information shared with any other organization. Collecting such information for our own use is called prospecting. The Make-A-Wish Foundation does not prospect.

You can view and request changes to all the information you have given us, including any mailing lists you may be on, by contacting us one of two ways:

Children
With respect to children, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of San Diego does not collect personally identifiable contact information from or about children. We do, however, provide a link to the Web site of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, which collects personally identifiable contact information from children who are referring themselves as potential wish children. If the self-referring child resides in our service area, they then share that information with us. The Foundation does not share it in any other way or with any other third parties.
Volunteers
We invite people who wish to become volunteers for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of San Diego to complete and submit volunteer applications. We use the information collected on these applications only for screening and volunteer assessment purposes, and do not share this information with any third parties.

Results of all background checks are kept confidential.
