NWF takes precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information on our website, your information is protected both online and offline.

When appropriate we also use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for authentication and private communications to build users’ trust and confidence in the internet and website use by providing simple and secure access and communication of credit card and personally identifiable information.
