Privacy Policy
The International House Of Promise Centre (the "Charity"), is dedicated to protecting your privacy. We value your trust and understand that maintaining this trust requires us to be transparent and accountable in our treatment of the Personal Information you choose to share with us. We do not trade, rent, or sell the names of our valued supporters.
The following principles outline our commitment to safeguarding your Personal Information under this Privacy Policy.
We take responsibility for your Personal Information.
"Personal Information" refers to details about a specific person, including whether an individual has donated to the Charity, the amount donated, and a person's private contact information. We keep the Personal Information you provide to us confidential. Please note that business contact information and certain publicly available information, such as names, addresses, and telephone numbers published in telephone directories, are not considered personal information.
Our employees sign confidentiality agreements and only access Personal Information on a need-to-know basis to perform their jobs. We have safeguards in place to ensure that Personal Information is not accessed, disclosed or shared more widely than necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.
We receive your consent to collect, use or disclose your Personal Information.
We will only collect, use, or disclose your Personal Information with your explicit permission. Your permission can be given verbally, in writing, or implicitly, and you can provide it to us or a third party verbally, electronically, or in writing. Also, we limit the collection of Personal Information to what is necessary for the purposes identified, and it will not be used or disclosed for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with consent or as required by law (i.e. Law enforcement or Canada Revenue Agency officials if it relates to a criminal investigation, alleged illegal activity, or as required by law) or specific service providers that conduct activities on our behalf (as described below). The Charity does not trade, rent or sell Personal Information to third parties.
We carefully select service providers to conduct activities on our behalf, such as fundraising and processing services, and take all reasonable precautions to ensure they protect your Personal Information. For instance, our website contains online forms for donations, and the personal and credit card information provided on these forms is only used for processing the donations.
We collect, use, and disclose Personal Information for specific purposes associated with identifying individuals.
We may obtain information from you through different channels, including information provided directly by you, information collected by us or our service providers during our interactions with you (e.g., when you use our website or other technologies), and information obtained from third-party sources.
When the Charity collects Personal Information directly from individuals, it informs them of the purposes for which it is being collected at or before the time of collection. These purposes include fundraising, donation administration, providing information about Charity's activities, marketing, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and seeking support for our mission to demonstrate God's love by helping those in need. For further details, please refer to the Charity’s Terms of Use.
Accuracy of Personal Information.
We rely on our donors to provide us with accurate Personal Information. To change or modify any Personal Information previously provided to the Charity, email us at internationalhouseofpromise@gmail.com with the subject Donor Inquiries.
We take the security of your Personal Information seriously.
We use secure websites and password protocols to protect the information provided when making online donations. Our software is regularly updated to ensure maximum protection of your information.
We are open about our privacy practices.
We provide access to our Privacy Policy, detailing our Personal Information management practices, on our website.
