Provide, operate, and maintain our Website;

Log Files

We follow a standard procedure of using log files, which log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this as part of the hosting services’ analytics. The information collected by log files includes IP addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any personally identifiable information. The purpose of the information is for analysing trends, administering the site, tracking users’ movement on the Website, and gathering demographic information.

Cookies and Web Beacons

Like any other website, we use “cookies.” These cookies are used to store information, including visitors’ preferences and the pages on the Website that the visitor accessed or visited. The information is used to optimise the users’ experience by customising our web page content based on visitors’ browser type and/or other information.

Personal Information and Credit Card Security

We care about the safety and security of your transaction and take every precaution to protect your information. Donations made on our Website are secured to the fullest extent possible. We use high-grade, 128-bit encryption and the “https” security protocol through Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to communicate with your browser software. SSL protects information as it is transferred through the Internet. This method is the industry-standard security protocol, which makes it extremely difficult for anyone else to intercept the credit card information you send to us. Companies we work with to process credit card transactions also use high-grade encryption and security protocols.

You can recognise secure website pages by checking for the secure symbol at the bottom of your browser screen. For most browsers, this symbol is either a lock or a key. When the lock symbol appears to be locked, the page is secure. When it appears to be unlocked, the page is insecure.
