Rise With Wells is an impact and legacy initiative of Wild Mercy Pictures. This policy explains what information we collect through RiseWithWells.org, how we use it, and the choices you have. We aim to collect only what we need and to treat it with care.
Information we collect
We collect information in two ways.
Information you give us
- Your name and email address when you fill out a form (contact, partnership, volunteer, newsletter, or campaign sign-up).
- The contents of any message, inquiry, or details you choose to share in a form.
- Whether you have opted in to hear about the film WELLS and its release.
Information collected automatically
- Basic, non-identifying technical data our hosting provider records to keep the site running and secure, such as browser type and general request logs.
- We do not use advertising trackers, and we do not sell your personal information to anyone.
How we use your information
- To respond to your messages and inquiries.
- To send you updates you asked for, such as news about the movement, campaigns, and, if you opted in, the film WELLS and how to see it.
- To fulfill merchandise orders you place through our print-on-demand partner.
- To process donations through our fiscal-sponsor partner.
- To understand what is useful on the site and to improve it.
Email and your choices
Our email list uses single opt-in, meaning you are added when you submit a form that asks for your email. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. You can also ask us to update or remove your information by using our contact form.
How we share information
We share information only with the trusted service providers that help us operate, and only as needed to provide what you asked for. These include:
- Hosting and forms: our website host processes form submissions and delivers them to our team.
- Email: our email platform stores your name and email to send the updates you opted in to.
- Merchandise: our print-on-demand partner receives the details needed to produce and ship any order you place.
- Donations: gifts are processed by our fiscal-sponsor partner and its donation platform, which handle payment information and issue tax receipts. We do not receive or store your full payment details.
We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of our community, our team, and the public. We never sell your personal information.
Cookies and embedded content
RiseWithWells.org is a lightweight site and does not set advertising cookies. Some pages include embedded tools from our partners (for example a video-review widget or a donation page). Those tools are operated by their providers and may set their own cookies or collect information under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the policies of any third-party service you interact with.
Data security and retention
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we hold, and we rely on established providers with their own security practices. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here or as required by law, and you may ask us to remove it.
Children's privacy
This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to opt out of marketing emails. To make a request, use our contact form and we will respond within a reasonable time.
Links to other sites
Our site links to other websites, including our merchandise store, our donation partner, and social platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of sites we do not operate.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above. Significant changes may also be noted on the site.
