Privacy Policy

No private information is collected by World Computer Exchange (WCE) by the simple act of someone visiting this website.

For anyone who makes a financial or computer donation to WCE, the following information is collected and kept: name, address, phone number, e-mail address, and the amount of donations. The information on these donors is for internal records only and this information is never shared with any other organization. The exception to this is that WCE is required to provide the US Internal Revenue Service with the name of any organization in the USA that donates cash and/or equipment worth more than $5,000 in any given year.

Volunteers who take on a specific “staff” role with a title are sometimes listed by name on this WCE website – but only after their permission has been given. This question is on the volunteer form given to interested volunteers. This is the only case in which individual information is available to anyone outside of the organization and no phone number or specific address information is included. Volunteers with a specific "staff" role may decide that WCE should include their home city and their personal or WCE e-mail address.

WCE's internal records of financial and computer donors and volunteers of are used a maximum of 6 times per year so that WCE can send them a quarterly digital newsletter, their invitation to participate in the WCE Annual Meeting, and an annual request for a financial donation.

Any individual can contact Records@WorldComputerExchange.org  to learn what information about this individual has been kept by WCE. This is also the contact point to request any corrections. Individual donors can opt to be anonymous in the financial records of WCE - except as for the above reporting requirements to the Internal Revenue Service.

The names of individual and organizational financial Sponsors are listed in our honor roll of Sponsors. No address, phone number, or e-mail address is included with this public listing. Sponsors are given the option of also making their name anonymous to anyone other than the Internal Revenue Service. If anyone asks for information about a donor, WCE will first contact the donor to get approval - before providing any information.

WCE stores personal information on our volunteers and financial and computer donors at our headquarters on computers that are protected by a commercial firewall.  WCE does not collect any credit card information. Any donations via credit card are made via Network for Good. Their privacy policy is available at this url: http://support.networkforgood.org/?a=4&q=152
