Privacy Policy
Effective November 12, 2026
This policy explains what information IifWe.org ("I if We", "we", "us") collects and what we do with it. I if We is a trade name of Interaction Insight Consulting, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company. I if We is an early prototype with no user accounts or sign-in, and we try to collect as little as possible.
What we collect
When you visit the site. Our web server automatically records basic technical information for every request: your IP address, browser type, the page you asked for, and the time. We use these logs only to keep the site running and secure, and they are deleted automatically after about a week. We do not use cookies, analytics, advertising or tracking tools.
Because we don't track you, your browser's "Do Not Track" setting changes nothing here.
When you pledge. Pledges are made on OpenCollective.com, not on our site. When you enter your OpenCollective handle on a goal page, our server asks OpenCollective's public API for information that is already public on OpenCollective.com: your profile name and handle, the text of your About section (where your pledge is), and your contributions to that goal's collective (amount, frequency, date and status). We keep a cached copy of this information so we can show the goal's progress and pledger lists. We don't collect anything about you beyond what OpenCollective already shows publicly.
When you contact us. If you email, call or text us, we receive your message and your email address or phone number.
What is public
When you validate a pledge, your OpenCollective name, a link to your OpenCollective profile, and your pledge status are shown publicly on that goal's page. Your pledge text and donations are also visible on OpenCollective according to your settings there. Please don't validate a pledge if you don't want your name listed.
How we use it
We use this information to run the site: to show pledger lists and progress toward each goal, to tell pledgers what action is needed, to answer your messages, and to protect the site from abuse. We don't sell or rent personal information, use it for advertising, or share it with data brokers.
Who else handles it
- OpenCollective handles all donations and payment details under its own terms and privacy policy. We never see your card or bank details.
- IONOS hosts our server in the United States.
- voip.ms handles our voicemail and text messages.
- Our email provider receives messages sent to our email addresses.
We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the rights or safety of our users or others.
How long we keep it
Our copy of your OpenCollective information is a cache. It refreshes from OpenCollective automatically every few minutes, and each time you validate your pledge. If you remove your pledge from your OpenCollective About section, your entry drops out of our copy at the next refresh. We keep messages only as long as we need them to respond to you or for our records.
Your choices and rights
You control your pledge information at OpenCollective.com. Edit or remove the pledge text in your profile's About section, change your contributions, or change your profile's name or visibility there. Then click "Validate your pledger status" on the goal page so our copy updates right away. If you want something changed or removed and can't do it yourself, email privacy@iifwe.org.
If you are in the European Economic Area or the UK, we process your pledge information on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing the public pledge feature you chose to use. Our logs are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in keeping the site secure. You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to our processing of your information, and to complain to your local data protection authority. Your information is stored in the United States.
Depending on where you live (for example Canada, Quebec or Australia), you may have similar rights under your local law, and you can complain to your local privacy regulator. Michael Siepmann is responsible for our privacy practices and can be reached at privacy@iifwe.org. We will reply to requests within 30 days, and we may ask you to confirm your OpenCollective handle so we know the request is yours.
Children
Anyone may view the site, but pledging requires an OpenCollective account, and OpenCollective requires users to be at least 18. You must therefore be 18 or older to pledge. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child's information appears on the site, contact us and we will remove it.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold, but no website is perfectly secure.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will post the new version here with a new effective date. If a change is significant, we will note it on the site.
