The World Federation of Hemophilia (hereinafter "the WFH" or "WFH") recognizes that privacy is everyone's business and takes the confidentiality and security of your personal information very seriously.

If you follow a link to a third-party website or use a third-party plug-in, please note that these third parties have their own privacy policies and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for those policies. We do not control these third-party websites and encourage you to read the privacy policy of each site you visit before providing them with any personal information.

5.	HOW DO WE COLLECT YOUR CONSENT?
5.1	The WFH considers you to have validly consented to the collection, use or disclosure of your personal information if (i) you give your express written or oral consent; (ii) you voluntarily provide personal information for an obvious purpose; or (iii) if you do not object to the collection, use or disclosure of personal information by the WFH within a reasonable time after the WFH has given you clear notice, including through this Policy, of its intention to do so and the intended purposes.
5.2	In some cases, the WFH may collect personal information about an individual without their consent in accordance with the Acts or any other law or regulation that permits doing so.

10.	PROTECTION OF THE PRIVACY OF MINORS

If you believe that we may have received information from or about a child for whom we should have obtained parental consent, please contact us.

12.	SHARING PERSONAL INFORMATION OUTSIDE QUÉBEC
12.1	Your personal information is processed and stored in Québec. In order to carry out our mission, we may in some cases store, process and transfer your information around the world, including outside Québec or to jurisdictions outside your country of residence — if you are located in the Economic European Area or Switzerland, please review Appendix A "Additional terms" which apply to you in addition to the main terms of this Policy. Data may also be stored locally on the devices you use to access WFH Websites and/or Platforms.
12.2	In such cases, the transfer will only take place if we find that the information would be adequately protected, in particular considering the sensitivity of the information, the purpose for which it is used, the protection the information would be afforded, and the legal framework applicable in the state or province where the information would be transferred. Any transfer will also be subject to appropriate contractual agreements to ensure adequate protection.

17.	CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY
17.1	WFH will review and update its policies and procedures as required to keep current with rules and regulations, new technologies and standards.

1. PURPOSE

1.2 This Policy replaces and updates the WFH Website Privacy Policy (IT 003).

2. SCOPE

2.1

This Policy generally applies to:

any personal information of a factual or subjective nature about an identifiable individual collected through the Websites and/or Platforms on which this Policy is posted, or through any other interactions you may have with us;
WFH staff members (regular employees, temporary employees and contractual resources) and senior management who handle personal information held by WFH;
visitors to our Websites and/or Platforms, our volunteers and Board members, and any person or company acting for or on behalf of WFH.

We do not control these third-party websites and encourage you to read the privacy policy of each site you visit before providing them with any personal information.

3. DEFINITION OF "PERSONAL INFORMATION"

3.1	When used in this Privacy Policy, “personal information” means any information about an individual that can be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, your name, address, email address, telephone number, gender, banking details, employment, health or other information.

4. RESPONSIBILITIES OF WFH

5.2 In some cases, the WFH may collect personal information about an individual without their consent in accordance with the Acts or any other law or regulation that permits doing so.

6. WHY WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

6.1	We strongly believe in both minimizing the information we collect and limiting its use and purpose. WFH uses your personal information only for the purposes and for the duration required for which it was collected, or for any use that may be required or permitted by legal compliance, government request, court order or other lawful purpose.
6.2	We collect personal information for a variety of reasons. In general, WFH collects only the personal information necessary to fulfill its mission. We may also collect information for administrative purposes — to better understand the visitors who come to our websites and/or Platforms and the content of our websites and/or Platforms that is of interest to them. The purposes for which we collect personal information include, but are not limited to: Improve the content, offering, appearance and usefulness of our Websites and/or Platforms; Send, subject to your right to withdraw your consent as set out in this Policy, periodic emails; Personalize your experience by responding to your needs; Provide you with information or resources you have requested; Process a donation and issue tax receipts; Meet legal and regulatory requirements; Prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities for risk management, fraud detection and security purposes.
6.3	Wherever possible, rather than using personal information, we will anonymize and/or aggregate personal information so that it no longer identifies an individual and use it for the purposes stated above or for any purpose permitted by law.
6.4	If we ever wish to use or disclose your personal information for purposes other than those specifically described in this Policy, we will obtain your consent.

7. WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

7.1	WFH only collects personal information that is directly related to one of our programs or activities. We take steps to ensure that the personal information we collect about you is adequate, relevant, not excessive and used for limited purposes. We collect only the information we need.
7.2	The WFH collects information on its Websites and/or Platforms in two ways:
7.2.1	Information you provide directly to us: In many cases, we collect personal information directly from you when you provide your information by subscribing to our Newsletter, when you fill out other forms on our Websites and/or Platforms, when you make an inquiry or when you contact us in person or through the WFH Websites and/or Platforms. The provision of this information is strictly voluntary. We strongly encourage you not to provide any information beyond what is necessary.
7.2.2	Information collected automatically: You should be aware that when you access or browse our Websites and/or Platforms, an exchange of information, subject to your prior consent, takes place automatically between your device and WFH's hosting environment. This exchange is required only because of the technological demands inherent in Internet browsing and is used for statistical purposes to improve your experience — the information exchanged does not identify you personally. The information exchanged is as follow: The domain name of your internet service provider; Your computer's truncated IP address (your IP address is changed, making it impossible to link to you); The type of browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, etc.) and operating system (Windows, Mac OS, etc.) used; The date and time of your visit; The pages you consult and the duration of these consultations; The address of the referring site, if you access WFH Websites and Platforms from another site. WFH retains only the information necessary to count the number of visitors, the most frequently visited pages, the technology used by visitors, the referring sites and the country of origin of visitors. This information is not used in any way to compile, communicate or exchange lists of users/visitors.
7.3	By using the WFH Websites and/or Platforms, you agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this Privacy Policy.

8. USE OF COOKIES

8.1	The main types of data collected on WFH Websites and/or Platforms are cookies and personalization settings. Cookies are small text files that are downloaded when you visit certain pages of a site and stored in the memory of the device you are using. Cookies are completely harmless and cannot contain any viruses. They enable certain information (browser type, language, country, identifier, etc.) to be recorded and retrieved by the server on subsequent visits. Under no circumstances do cookies allow visitors to be identified. The data remains completely anonymous and is used only to facilitate browsing and improve the WFH’s Websites and/or Platforms based on the needs of its visitors.
8.2	If you do not wish cookies to be used, your browser options can be configured to refuse and/or delete cookies. Please note that disabling or deleting cookies may deprive you of certain functions offered on our Websites and/or Platforms. In addition, this procedure must be repeated for each browser and computer used.
8.3	Google Analytics. We also gather information automatically about visits to our Websites and/or Platforms to help us maintain and improve its design, and to evaluate traffic statistics, such as the times of day and days of week at which we see peak traffic, and to assess the relative popularity of different areas of the Websites and/or Platforms. We use Google Analytics to gather this data and analyze it. Google Analytics collects information about the date and time in which our Websites and/or Platforms were accessed, and may also track a visitor’s movement within the site, but does not collect personal information about the visitor. You can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent information about your visits to our Websites and/or Platforms being sent to Google Analytics. Our web statistics software (Google Analytics) collects information about the date and time in which our Websites and/or Platforms were accessed, and we may also track a user’s movement within the Websites and/or Platforms. We use this data to improve our Websites and/or Platforms performance.
8.4	Meta Pixel. WFH also uses web beacons (“Pixels”) to analyze visitor activity to our Websites and/or Platforms. We use Meta Pixel to collect information about your interactions with our Websites and/or Platforms, such as pages visited, actions taken, buttons clicked and any pages visited as a result of the button clicks. Web beacons do not contain any personal information but may contain a unique identifier necessary for retargeting and targeted advertising. Meta Pixel allows us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising by understanding the actions you take on our Websites and/or Platforms. We use this data solely for analytical purposes to improve our services and deliver more relevant content.

9. RESPONSE TO JOB OFFERS

11.2	As part of the services offered by our external suppliers. WFH may transfer personal information that we collect or that you provide as described in this Policy to service providers and other third parties we use to support our organization.

11.3	In the context of a legal obligation. WFH may disclose your personal information to comply with any court order, law or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request, in accordance with applicable law, to combat fraud or harms to WFH or our members, or if we believe that disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property or safety of WFH or others.

12.2 In such cases, the transfer will only take place if we find that the information would be adequately protected, in particular considering the sensitivity of the information, the purpose for which it is used, the protection the information would be afforded, and the legal framework applicable in the state or province where the information would be transferred. Any transfer will also be subject to appropriate contractual agreements to ensure adequate protection.

13. HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

All individuals who fail to comply with the principles and procedures of this Policy will be subject to corrective measures, including termination of their employment relationship, tenure or contract.
13.4	Despite these precautions, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure or error-free. As a result, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us immediately.
13.5	If we become aware of a security breach involving your personal information, we will notify you and the appropriate authorities as soon as possible, in accordance with the Acts.

14. RETENTION AND DESTRUCTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Hemophilia Alliance

Recognizing that training women leaders ensures the diversity our community need to thrive; the Hemophilia Alliance has been a longtime supporter of the Susan Skinner Memorial Fund. They deepened their engagement with the global community through the establishment of the Travel Grant Program, which allows US-based multidisciplinary healthcare professionals the opportunity to attend WFH global training workshops. The wealth of experience and perspective attendees bring back home to their communities helps patients across the country. Their patience and support as we grappled with changing norms in these challenging times gave us the flexibility to meet our community’s needs with revamped programming.

Hemophilia of Georgia

Hemophilia of Georgia has stood with us for over three decades, playing an early role in distributing donated factor via the WFH Humanitarian Aid program. Our relationship has deepened over the years as they continued to support this program and came on board as a founding Chapter Challenge champion in 2016. Their belief in educating future leaders is clear in their investment in the Youth Leadership Workshops, which has led to the training of over 50 young adults. They also support workshops devoted to educating providers and patient leaders on how to collect and use data to advocate for better patient care. Their staff generously volunteer their time as trainers and as well as serving on various committees.

WFH President's Award - Recipients

National Bleeding Disorders Foundation

The National Bleeding Disorders Foundation helps advance our mission on several fronts. They inspire others to follow their lead as a founding champion of the NHF Chapter Challenge. Their commitment to equality of access is demonstrated in their support of the Cornerstone Initiative, which lays the foundation for care in the world's most underserved regions, as well as programs that aim to raise awareness and improve care of women with bleeding disorders and those with von Willebrand disease. We also benefit from their steadfast engagement with various programs including the WFH Twinning Program and their individual leaders’ contribution to our leadership and committees.

Nuestra historia

Frank Schnabel, un hombre de negocios canadiense con hemofilia A grave, fundó la FMH en 1963. Schnabel estaba convencido de que las organizaciones de pacientes podían ser mucho más eficaces, y hacer más para representar los intereses de las personas con trastornos de la coagulación, si trabajaban unidas. El primer Congreso de la FMH se realizó en Copenhague, Dinamarca, el 25 de junio de 1963, y en él participaron representantes de 12 países. Actualmente, la FMH y su red mundial de organizaciones nacionales miembros (ONM) representan los intereses de personas con hemofilia y otros trastornos de la coagulación hereditarios en 147 naciones.
