OF HOPE PRIVACY
POLICIES
This website www.partnersofhope.net is provided by Partners of Hope
International. Your use of our website is governed by the Terms of
Use, and by your use of our website you accept and acknowledge this
privacy policy.
A Note About the Privacy of Children Under 13
Our website is not directed to or otherwise promoted for use by children
under the age of thirteen (13). We or third-parties acting on our behalf
do not knowingly collect or use any personal information of anyone
under the age of thirteen (13).
1. What Personal Information We Collect
You may be asked to provide information that can be used to identify
you (your "Personal Information") when you respond to certain
inquiries or choose to use certain sections of our website. This information
may include, but is not limited to, your name, address, telephone number,
e-mail address, and, where appropriate, credit card number. Also, when
you visit our website, we or third-parties acting on our behalf will
place a "cookie" - a text file containing a randomly assigned
number on your computer - so that we have the ability to customize
the look and feel of our website for you. You are always free to
decline our cookies if your browser permits, although doing so may
impede your use of certain of our website's features. Using embedded
tracking technology, we or third-parties acting on our behalf will
also collect a variety of other information regarding your usage
of our website, including your IP address, your username, your session
ID, the name of the browser you are using, information regarding
web pages you view, and information regarding referring web pages,
when you access our website.
2. How We Use Your Personal Information
Not surprisingly, much of the value that we provide through our website
requires the use of your Personal Information. To be specific, we or
third-parties acting on our behalf use your Personal Information in
the following ways:
- to customize the look and feel of our website for you;
- to internally monitor our customers' usage of the various aspects
of our website in order to enhance the products and services that
we currently or will offer in the future;
to send you material about topics on which you have requested more
information; and
- to provide you with technical and other support.
While we or third-parties acting on our behalf use information about
our users on an aggregated basis and will often share such data with
unaffiliated third parties, this information, by its aggregate nature,
contains none of your Personal Information. When we refer to an "unaffiliated" third
party, we mean one that (i) is not controlled by us, (ii) does not
control us, and (iii) is not controlled by the same party controlling
us.
3. When We Disclose Your Personal Information
Except as explicitly stated in this privacy policy, we or third-parties
acting on our behalf will not disclose to unaffiliated third parties
any of your Personal Information without first obtaining your consent.
We or third-parties acting on our behalf do and will continue to disclose
your Personal Information to unaffiliated third parties in the following
circumstances:
- if required by law, regulatory or court order, or legal process;
if we determine that doing so would be in the public interest (i.e.,
if we were to suspect that you were using our website in connection
with the commission of a crime);
in connection with a sale, merger, consolidation, change in control,
transfer of substantial assets, reorganization, or liquidation
of our company;
if you provide such information to us in connection with a promotion
of a good or service offered by a third party, for purposes of
such promotion, including, without limitation, sharing such information
with that third party;
to provide you with certain services on our website that are provided
by such parties, as reasonably required to provide such services
and;
in the context of working with third-party contractors engaged
by us in the provision of our website or related matters.
After we or third-parties acting on our behalf disclose your Personal
Information to unaffiliated third parties in such instances, we can
no longer control the use or further disclosure of your Personal Information.
Consequently, we or third-parties acting on our behalf will not be
responsible to you for such use or further disclosure.
4. Correcting Your Information
You can ensure that your account information is correct and current
by reviewing and updating it at any time. You may do so as often as
necessary by sending us an e-mail, and we will assist you in updating
your information.
5. Security
We and third-parties acting on our behalf take precautions involving
physical, electronic, and managerial controls to protect from loss,
misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, and alteration any of your
Personal Information in our possession. We or third-parties acting
on our behalf may employ industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer encryption
when requesting certain financial Personal Information from you. We
or third-parties acting on our behalf do not, however, use such encryption
during your day-to-day use of our website. You should note that the
confidentiality of any information transmitted over the Internet cannot
be guaranteed.
6. Links to Other Sites
You should be aware that this privacy policy applies only to our website.
Importantly, it does not apply to any other web or other sites to which
a link may be provided as part of our website. We cannot control and
are not responsible for the actions of third parties operating such
sites. You should not take the existence of an affiliation with, or
a link from, our website to any such other site to mean that it has
a privacy policy similar to this one. You should review the privacy
policy of any such site.
7. Changes to this Policy
As our business is a very dynamic one, we need to be able to make
revisions to this privacy policy. Consequently, we reserve the right
to change this privacy policy at any time. You should check this location
for any updates and other changes.
