The Advancement of Children Foundation (ACF) is strongly committed to protecting your privacy and complying with your choices. Both personal and non-personal information collected is safeguarded according to the highest privacy and data protection standards adopted worldwide.

• Your information will not be shared, rented or sold to any third party.
• We use state-of-the-art security measures to protect your information from unauthorised users.

1. Notice

We will clearly inform you when information that personally identifies you (“personal information”) is asked for and you will have the choice to provide it or not. Generally, this information is requested when you transact with us and/or subscribe to newsletters or other online services.

2. Usage

We may keep a record of any correspondence and details of any transactions you carry out through our Website, including credit card information submitted to make payments through our online payment portal.

Details of your visits to our Website, including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data, whether this is required for our own billing purposes or otherwise and the resources that you access.

Our Website, and our online payment portal run by a third-party, may use session cookies to keep track of your transactions.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Website; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

3. Consent

When you provide your personal information, you consent that it can be used for the above purposes and that The ACF is an authorised holder of such information. If you choose not to register or provide personal information, you can still use our website but you will not be able to receive additional services or access to certain areas that require registration. In each communication from us, you will have the opportunity to unsubscribe from further communications; alternatively, you may contact us to express your choices at the address provided at the bottom of this page.

4. Security of Information

The The ACF is strongly committed to protecting your information and ensuring that your choices are honoured. We have taken strong security measures to protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. 

We guarantee that all e-commerce transactions follow the latest security measures and use the best available technologies. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology is employed when you place online orders or transmit sensitive information. SSL is one of the safest methods of passing information over the Internet.

5. What We Do With the Information You Share

Your information is never shared outside the company without your permission. 

When you sign up for our services or conduct a transaction you are asked to provide your contact information, including a valid email address. We may use this information to send you updates about the The ACF, order confirmations and information about our services. When you order from us, we ask for your credit card number and billing address. We use this information only to bill you for the service(s) you ordered at that time.

We may on occasion require the help of other companies to provide limited services on our behalfs, such as customer support and technical assistance. We will only provide such companies with the information required for them to perform these services; these service providers are bound by strict privacy policies and are prohibited from using your information for any other purpose.

In very rare instances the The ACF may disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on the The ACF or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of the The ACF and its family of websites and properties; and (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the The ACF, its websites, or the public.

Our Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected on our website.

The Site contains links to web sites of third parties. The ACF is not responsible for the actions of these third parties, including their privacy practices and any content posted on their web sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies to learn more about what, why and how they collect and use personal information. The ACF adheres to industry recognised standards to secure any personal information in our possession, and to secure it from unauthorised access and tampering. However, as is true with all online actions, it is possible that third parties may unlawfully intercept transmissions of personal information, or other users of the Site may misuse or abuse your personal information that they may collect from the Site.

If we make changes to our Privacy Policy, we will post these changes here so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
