WorldStrides program, you are required to enter information such

through an online form. All of your information is transmitted in
an encrypted format.

with those companies, only to the extent that it is necessary to
complete your travel arrangements.
• When you participate in an
online contest or survey, WorldStrides may ask you for personal

provide information on becoming a WorldStrides Program Leader.
• When you submit information about
another teacher for our “Refer a Friend” program, we
may contact that teacher in regards to becoming a WorldStrides Program
Leader.
• If you email us to ask us a question
or to report a problem, we use return email addresses only to answer
the emails we receive. We do not use these addresses for any other
purpose and we do not share these addresses with outside parties.
• Information collected from online
registration, contests, surveys or online forms may be used to provide
you with special promotions or online information that we believe
might be of interest to you.
