Cookies & third-party services

Like other websites, our website uses cookies in order to transfer information from one session on a website to another, or between sessions on related websites, without having to burden a server with massive amounts of data storage and in order for us to do business efficiently by providing you the best possible experience on our website. Cookies do not in themselves present a threat to privacy, since they can only be used to store information that the user has volunteered or that the web server already has. Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.) or links to pages that we deem reputable and reliable with this type of content. Embedded content from other websites works in the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.

Contact forms & Ecommerce

When you complete a contact form on this website, we collect the data you provide us such as your name, phone number, email address, to contact you and use in operational business. We do this to provide the best possible service to you. We will not share your information with any third parties aside from ones we partner with in business and deem necessary in order to do business and provide service to you. If you engage in transactions with us – by purchasing a book, for example – you are asked to provide additional information, such as credit card information required to process the donation. In each case, we collect such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the transaction. If you submit any information you do so at your own risk and we will not be liable to you or responsible for consequences of your submission.

Log files and analytics

We log web traffic to analyze effective means of digital marketing. We do not collect personal information during this process and we do not share these analytics outside of business partners who provide us services directly associated to the gathered data. This is standard procedure; all hosting companies do this. The information collected by log files include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site and tracking users’ movement to optimize their experience.

What rights you have over your data

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
