opportunity to decline such direct marketing or market research contact. We
will also follow local requirements, such as allowing you to opt in before
receiving unsolicited contact, where applicable. Data collected online may also
be combined with information you provide when you register online as a Father's
Heart sponsor.

lease your personally identifiable information to others. Unless we have your
permission or are required by law, we will only share the personal data you

wish to receive unsolicited direct marketing materials from us, and we will do
everything we can to honor such requests.

Security is important
Father's Heart International-Africa is committed to ensuring
the security of your information. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data
accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place
appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and
secure the information we collect online. We use Internet encryption software,
Secure Socket Layer (SSL-256-bit encryption with GeoTrust®) protocol, when
collecting or transferring sensitive data such as credit card information.
Father's Heart International-Africa takes every precaution
to protect our users’ information.When
users submit sensitive information via the Web site, their information is
protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter
sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security
number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best
encryption software in the industry - SSL.While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the
bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are just
‘surfing’.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information
online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information
off-line.All of our users’ information,
not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our
offices.Only employees who need the
information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a
customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable
information.Furthermore, all employees
are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.Every quarter, as well as any time new
policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the
importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our users’
information is protected.
Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable
information are in a secure environment, behind a locked cage in a locked
facility.
