Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Your privacy on the Internet is of utmost importance to Merci For All (Merciforall.org).  This privacy statement describes Merciforall.org’s policy concerning the gathering and sharing of visitors’ information through the Merciforall.org web site.  It applies to all “Merciforall.org sites” – that is, all sites within the “Merciforall.org” domain name.  You should note that through this site you may reach or be directed to other sites that relate to Merciforall.org, such as http://www.mercyforall.com/ or the sites of our partner organizations; all these sites have their own privacy statements which are similar to this one but may vary slightly.  By visiting the Merciforall.org website you are accepting the practices described in this policy.

What information does Merciforall.org collect?

Normal website usage
In general, you can browse the Merciforall.org site without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself.  The only information we gather during general browsing is from standard server logs.  These include your IP (Internet Protocol) address, domain name, browser type, operating system, and information such as the web site that referred you to us, the files you downloaded, the pages you visit, and the dates/times of those visits.

Collection of personally identifiable information
If you register for a newsletter, log on to certain Merciforall.org sites, request information, provide feedback, apply for a job, join a discussion group or join an electronic mailing list, you will be asked to provide personal information such as your name, postal address and e-mail address.  This information is collected only with your knowledge and permission, and is kept in various Merciforall.org databases.  If you are donating, you may be asked to provide your credit card details.

Merciforall.org sites with specific requirements to collect personal information may publish a privacy policy specific for that site.  In these cases, the site-specific policies will be complementary to this general Merciforall.org privacy policy, but will give additional details for that particular use.

For certain Merciforall.org sites, registering or supplying personal information sets a cookie.  By setting this cookie, Merciforall.org will remember your details the next time you visit, so you don’t have to re-enter the information.  This helps us to provide you with a better service.

Joining electronic discussion groups may mean that other participants of the discussion group (including non- Merciforall.org employees) will see personal information that you have volunteered.  For open discussion groups, this information will be public.

Security
We do not sell or share any personally identifiable information volunteered on the Merciforall.org site to any third party without prior consent.  We do, however, share some user information with our committees so that the right team respond to your needs.  Any information provided to Merciforall.org by users of the Merciforall.org site is held with the utmost care and security, and will not be used in ways other than as set forth in this privacy policy, or in any site-specific policies, or in ways to which you have explicitly consented.  Merciforall.org employs a range of techniques and security measures to protect the information maintained on our system from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
