Credit Card or Direct Debit Information:
If you choose to provide your credit card or direct debit information to TNC HK we will use that information for the purposes for which it was provided. For credit card transactions, TNC HK uses PCI-compliant third-party payment vendors and does not itself directly process or store credit card information.
Where and when The Nature Conservancy collects information on the Website:
TNC HK collects the data that you provide via the Website, as detailed in the Personal Information Collection Statement. TNC HK also collects the domain names and IP addresses used by people that visit us, as well as site usage statistics such as web browser types and page requests. This data is not usually personally identifiable, and is used to more efficiently operate TNC HK’s business, prepare for network load demands, promote our organization and administer the Website.
Cookies and Pixels:
In addition to the information gathered as described above, we use technologies called “cookies” and “pixels” and similar tools that can be used to provide you with tailored information from a website. A cookie is an element of data that a website can send to your browser, which may then—depending on your web browser’s settings—store it on your system. Pixels are snippets of code that serve a similar purpose. For example, some pages on the Website use cookies so that TNC HK can better serve you when you return to the Website or provide you with more personalized advertising experiences. You may stop or restrict the placement of these technologies by taking the following steps:

Please note you would need to follow the above steps for any browser you use. For example, if you only use Google Chrome, then you can just take the steps above in Google Chrome. However, if you sometimes use Google Chrome and sometimes use Microsoft Edge, you would need to complete the steps above for each browser to opt out of all but necessary cookies.
You may also stop or restrict the placement of these technologies on your device or remove them by adjusting your preferences as your browser or device permits. Please note that depending on how you adjust your cookie preferences, certain Services may not work properly. Please note that cookie-based opt-outs are not effective on mobile applications. However, you may opt out of certain tracking on some mobile applications by following the instructions for Android, iOS, and others. The online advertising industry also provides mechanisms that may allow you to opt out of receiving targeted ads from organizations that participate in self-regulatory programs. To learn more, visit the Network Advertising Initiative, the Digital Advertising Alliance, and the European Digital Advertising Alliance. Please note you must separately opt out in each browser and on each device.
