Respecting your privacy
This website is owned and operated by ChildFund Alliance. We recognize that visitors to our site may be concerned about the information they provide to us, online or otherwise, and how we treat that information. This Privacy Policy addresses those concerns.
ChildFund Alliance respects the privacy of all our supporters, whether donors, members of our mailing lists, or visitors to our website. All information concerning donors or prospective donors, including their names, addresses and telephone numbers, the names of their beneficiaries, the amounts of their gifts, etc., shall be kept strictly confidential by ChildFund Alliance and its staff, unless permission is obtained from donors to release such information. ChildFund Alliance will not sell, rent or trade our donors' names, postal addresses, email addresses or phone numbers with any other entity. Should you have questions regarding our privacy policy, you may contact us at info [at] childfundalliance [dot] org
Information collected by ChildFund Alliance
On our website we do not collect personally identifiable information from individuals unless they provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly. This means we do not require you to register or provide information to us in order to view our site, unless you are on the staff at a ChildFund Alliance member organization and wish to access the member-only area of the site.
ChildFund Alliance only gathers personally identifiable information, such as names, addresses, zip/postal codes, email addresses, etc., when voluntarily submitted by a visitor. For example, personally identifiable information may be collected in order to respond to a stated desire to apply for a position at ChildFund Alliance. This information is available to ChildFund Alliance and other service providers involved in the operation of this site. ChildFund Alliance requires that all third-party service providers hold personal information in strict confidence. While we do not own or control these companies, we believe they are upstanding and will treat your personal information responsibly.
As with most other internet sites, our web server automatically recognizes the domain name of each visitor to the site, but not the email address. This IP address tells us which domain you visited from (e.g., gmail.com, aol.com, etc.). We use the information we record to help diagnose problems with our server, and to improve the content of our website. The information is not shared with other organizations for commercial purposes.
How we use "cookies"
Visitors should be aware that non-personal information and data may be automatically collected by ChildFund Alliance’s website through the use of "cookies." Cookies are small text files that a website can use to recognize repeat visitors, facilitate visitors’ ongoing access to and use of the site, and allow a site to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that will facilitate content improvements.
Cookies are not programs that come onto a visitor’s system and damage files. Generally, cookies work by assigning to the visitor a unique number that has no meaning outside the assigning site. If a visitor does not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the visitor to deny or accept the cookie feature. For more information about how to disable cookies, refer to the “help” or “customer support” section of your specific browser application. ChildFund Alliance uses cookie technology only to obtain non-personal information from its online visitors in order to improve visitors’ online experience and facilitate their visit within our site.
Links to third-party sites
In order to provide certain services and materials, our website may allow you to “click” over to other websites. This Privacy Policy only applies to childfundalliance.org. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party sites. ChildFund Alliance is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such other websites, even if our name and logo appear on the screen. We recommend that you review the privacy policies on third-party sites before you use any services or programs they offer.
Children’s privacy
ChildFund Alliance believes every measure of precaution should be taken to protect children online and does not knowingly ask children ages 13 and under for any information. Visitors 13 and under should ask their parent or legal guardian for assistance when using Childfundalliance.org and should not submit any personally identifiable information to ChildFund Alliance.
Changes to Privacy Policy
ChildFund Alliance may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time without advance notice. Accordingly, we recommend that you check for updates to this Privacy Policy on an ongoing basis. Changes were last made to this Privacy Policy on November 1, 2016.
