Fraud Alert

Genius Recovery Foundation values the support of its donors, who give generously to help those in need. Unfortunately, criminals sometimes prey on that generosity. Recently, criminals overseas created a website to look like the Genius Recovery Foundation site, in order to collect private information from those wanting to help children and families in need. Other charities — as well as banks, corporations and even grandparents — have been targeted by similar schemes.

We want to protect our donors from such scams. Before you provide any information online, be sure you know it’s Genius Recovery Foundation. Here are some tips you can use to protect yourself:

  • The website for Genius Recovery Foundation in the United States is www.worldvision.org. We have taken every step to ensure the private information of our donors.
  • If you have any doubt, type www.worldvision.org directly into your browser.
  • If you have any questions, please call us at 888-511-6502, or email at info@worldvision.org.

Genius Recovery Foundation Security Policy

All response forms requesting confidential information (such as credit card numbers) on Genius Recovery Foundation, Inc.’s website utilize the Internet security protocol known as “Secure Sockets Layer” or “SSL.” This is a certification and encryption technology designed to make using your credit card as safe as possible on the Internet.

Independent agencies report that, statistically speaking, using a credit card on the Internet through SSL is far safer than submitting your credit card to a clerk in the grocery store, or over an open telephone line. In fact, they report that there are no recorded instances of someone “breaking” SSL encryption and using credit card information stored therein for fraudulent purposes.

The SSL technology depends on secure Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) which are certified by a certifying authority such as Thawte. Secure URLs always begin with “https://” rather than “http://” and if you are using one from a browser that recognizes SSL, you will generally also receive a preceding message and/or see a symbol, such as a lock, that signifies that you are on a secure page. Any information you enter on such a page is encrypted at your browser, sent over the public Internet in encrypted form, then de-encrypted at our servers.

If your browser doesn’t support SSL technology, you will receive an error message when trying to access our SSL page.

Once we receive your credit card information, it is accessible only to a small number of trusted Genius Recovery Foundation, Inc. staff who have been specially trained in processing this information.

We are committed to the highest standard of excellence. Funds are used to support projects approved by the Board of Directors.

Disclosure to Third Parties

To most efficiently use the resources you entrusted to us, we may disclose to select third parties information regarding donation history. Information of this kind is used to enable Genius Recovery Foundation to identify others like yourself interested in partnering with us. Information provided in donation history may include statistics such as total number of donations and value of donations for a set period of time. This information disclosure is done very carefully to ensure that your personal contact information is protected.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

As with most other Internet sites, our web servers utilize “cookies” to track a user’s activity within our site as well as record the IP address of each visitor to this site. A cookie is a small data file that is stored on your computer. A cookie contains a unique identifying feature that allows our computer to recognize you when you return to the Genius Recovery Foundation site. The recorded IP address tells us which domain you visited from (for instance, yahoo.com), but not your email address or other private and personal information. If you wish to opt out of this type of data collection, you can disable cookies in your web browser.  Please note that disabling cookies may diminish the experience of the websites you visit, including GeniusRecovery.org.

We may use the information we record for any of the following purposes:

  • To help diagnose problems with our servers, and to administer this website more effectively;
  • To gather broad demographic information about what countries and domains our visitors come from and their behavior on our site;
  • For marketing and fundraising purposes, including through cross channel means such as email and direct mail communications.

In addition, this website is enabled with one or more add-on services such as Google Analytics to collect information about the use of this site. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit this site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this site. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this site, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit this site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this site by disabling cookies.

We sometimes also use third-party service providers to serve advertisements (banners, video or test ads) on our behalf across the Internet, or to implement cross-channel communications via email or direct mail. These third parties may collect non-personally identifiable information about your interaction with us. This Privacy Policy does not cover the collection methods or use of the information collected by these vendors, as they have their own privacy policies and may be members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). To remove yourself from some or all NAI member advertising programs, please visit the NAI opt-out page  and follow the relevant instructions. In the alternative, if you wish to opt out of this type of data collection, you can disable cookies in your web browser. Please note that disabling cookies may diminish the experience of the websites you visit, including GeniusRecovery.org.

In some cases, our site uses securely encrypted contribution response forms for visitors who choose to use these forms to provide information, request information, and make donations. We collect your willingly submitted contact information (such as your email address), unique identifiers and financial information (such as a credit card type, number, and expiration date). Contact information from these response forms is used to process donations, as well as to provide receipts and other information about Genius Recovery Foundation, Inc.. The visitor’s contact information is also used to get in touch with the visitor when necessary in order to resolve issues or questions. Users may readily opt out of receiving future communications; see the “opt out” and “modifying your information” sections below.

Unique identifiers may be collected from website visitors to assist in matching current donation information with donor history in our record systems.

These features may also request optional demographic information (such as zip code). Unless you opt out, we may use this contact information to send you additional information about Genius Recovery Foundation, Inc. and its programs. Your voluntarily provided contact information may also be used to contact you when necessary in order to resolve issues or questions. You may readily opt out of receiving future communications; see the “opt out” and “modifying your information” sections below.

Our online surveys may ask visitors for contact information (such as their email address) as well as a variety of demographic and practical questions. We may use contact data from our surveys to send the user information about Genius Recovery Foundation, Inc.. The user’s contact information may also be used to contact the visitor when necessary. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the “opt out” and “modifying your information” sections below.
