Collection of your Personal Information
We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you
(personal information) or allows us to contact you to provide a service or
carry out a transaction that you have requested such as receiving information
about PPF products and services, or when purchasing, downloading and/or
registering PPF products. The personal information we collect may include your
name, title, company or organization name, work e-mail, work phone, work or
home address, information about your job function, information about your
company, and credit card information.
The Site may collect certain information about your visit, such as the name of
the Internet service provider and the Internet Protocol (IP) address through
which you access the Internet; the date and time you access the Site; the pages
that you access while at the Site and the Internet address of the Web site from
which you linked directly to our site. This information is used to help improve
the site, analyze trends and administer the site. Some of our sites collect
information about your hardware and software in order to provide a requested
service.
|
Use of your Personal Information
The personal information collected on this Site will be used to operate the Site
and to provide the service(s) or carry out the transaction(s) you have
requested or authorized.
In support of these uses, PPF may use personal information to provide you with
more effective customer service, to improve the Site and any related PPF
products or services, and to make the Site easier to use by eliminating the
need for you to repeatedly enter the same information or by customizing the
Site to your particular preference or interests. In order to offer you a more
consistent experience in your interactions with PPF, information collected by
PersecutionProject.org may be combined with information collected by other PPF
services.
We may use your personal information to provide you with important information
about the product or service that you are using, including critical updates and
notifications. Additionally, with your permission, we may send you information
about other PPF products and services. Persecution Project Foundation will not
sell, lease or rent personal information acquired within our web site. No
personal information will be gathered without your knowledge and permission.
When you sign up for a newsletter or agree to receive promotional e-mail,
PersecutionProject.org may use customized links or similar technologies to track
e-mail links that you click. We may associate that information with your
personal information in order to provide you more focused e-mail communications
or purchase information. Each e-mail communication includes an unsubscribe link
allowing you to stop delivery of that type of communication.
Some services on PersecutionProject.org offer individuals the ability to publicly
display certain personal information, such as for a PPF partner who wishes to
publish contact information as part of offering a business service.
Participation in such services is always optional.
PPF occasionally hires other companies to provide limited services on our
behalf, such as Web site hosting, packaging, mailing and delivering prizes,
answering customer questions about products and services, and sending
information about our products, special offers, and other services. We will
only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the
service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information
and are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
PPF may disclose personal information 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 PPF or the Site; (b) protect and
defend the rights or property of PPF and our family of Web sites; or (c) act in
urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of PPF employees or agents,
users of PPF products or services, or members of the public.
Personal information collected on the Site may be stored and processed in the
United States or any other country in which PPF or its affiliates, subsidiaries
or agents maintain facilities, and by using the Site, you consent to any such
transfer of information outside of your country. PPF abides by the safe harbor
framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the
collection, use, and retention of data from the European Union.
|
Control of your Personal Information
Except as otherwise described in this statement, personal information you
provide on the Site will not be shared outside of PPF and its controlled
subsidiaries and affiliates without your permission.
Please be aware that this privacy statement and any choices you make on the Site
will not necessarily apply to personal information you may have provided to PPF
in the context of other, separately operated, PPF products or services.
PersecutionProject.org may send out periodic e-mails informing you of technical
service or security issues related to a product or service you requested, or
confirming you requested a product or service. In some services offered by
PersecutionProject.org, contact with the customer is an intrinsic part of the
service. You will not be able to choose to unsubscribe to these mailings, as
they are considered an essential part of the service(s) you have chosen.
|
Security of your Personal Information
PPF is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use
a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal
information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store
the personal information you provide on computer servers with limited access
that are located in controlled facilities. Additionally, when we transmit
sensitive personal information (such as a credit card number) over the
Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure
Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Use of Cookies
We use cookies on this Site to ensure the integrity of the registration process
and to personalize the Site. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on
your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or
deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can
only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to
save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a
site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent
visits. This simplifies the process of delivering relevant content, eases site
navigation, and so on. When you return to the Web site, the information you
previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the site's features
that you customized.
Web beacons, also known as clear gif technology, or action tags, may be used to
assist in delivering the cookie on our site. This technology is a tool we use
to compile aggregated statistics about PersecutionProject.org Web site usage,
such as how many visitors clicked on key elements (such as links or graphics)
on a PersecutionProject.org Web page, blog or a newsletter. We may share
aggregated site statistics with partner companies.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting
to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not
be able to fully experience the interactive features of this or other Web sites
you visit.

Use of Web Beacons
PersecutionProject.org Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web
beacons - sometimes called single-pixel gifs - that allow PersecutionProject.org
to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services.
PersecutonProject.org may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or
newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted
upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party service providers to help
determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email
communications. These Web beacons may be used by these service providers to
place a persistent cookie on your computer. Doing this allows the service
provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails
and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views.
PersecutionProject.org prohibits Web beacons from being used to collect or
access your personal information.
