This is a simple and straight forward personal information web privacy statement (in black and white).

The information we know and store is what you choose to give us when you send us email, call us, fax us, give us a business card at a trade show, etc.

We won't sell your information to anyone. Period. We do not participate in any email sharing deals with other sites or any direct mailing houses (shudder!!). We don't like our personal information being sold, so we're certainly not going to do that with yours.

We work very closely with Economic Development Imports (EDI), a like-minded partner company that helps many artisan groups in Africa. We warehouse their goods and process orders.

We utilize PayPal's (www.paypal.com) services to be a secure on-line intermediary for transacting our check, credit card and PayPal payments. You are not required to become a PayPal member. If you ever wish to bypass PayPal's on-line processing, just call us and we'll process your payment directly.

We've rarely sent email to a customer that wasn't in direct response to a query from them or to someone has explicitely asked to be on our mailing list. After you've made an on-line purchase, we've now started to specifically ask if you'd like to receive email about new products, specials, etc. These folks will definitely receive emails, probably about 1 a month. If you'd rather not receive any unsolicited email messages from us, that's ok too. Just ask us not to send you email messages. (Although you might want to wait and see if you are interested or not in what we send.)

One World Projects is a member of the Fair Trade Federation, Coop America, Social Venture Network, and the Aid to Artisan Trade Network. We're committed to helping economically disadvantaged artisans and farmers worldwide in a environmentally beneficial manner.
