This privacy notice discloses the privacy practices for www.saveanorphan.org, Save An Orphan (Reg Charity No. 1134007) and Save An Orphan (Today). This privacy notice applies solely to information collected by this web site.

Information collection, sse, and sharing

We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We only have access to collect information that you voluntarily give us via email or other direct contact from you.

Personal information will be shared internally at Save An Orphan to complete your donations or purchasing transactions, to contact you about our on-going work, discuss employment opportunities and ways that you can further support our efforts to help children in need.

Your personal information will also be used to provide you access to the various sections of our website that have been personalised for your needs. Save An Orphan may share, rent or exchange donor names and postal address with third parties. Except in the limited circumstances outlined below, Save an Orphan will never intentionally share your e-mail addresses, phone numbers or financial information.

Exceptions

Save An Orphan reserves the right to share your personal information in certain situations:

1. Credit Card Transactions, Electronic Fund Transfers, Payments by Check or Money Order and On-line Transactions. Save an Orphan hires third parties to provide credit card, bank, payment and information processing services and order fulfillment services. If you choose to make a donation on-line, by phone, through the mail or by other means we will share your personal information with our processing service providers. We make an effort to require all third party service-providers to hold personal information in strict confidence. While we believe these other companies are upstanding and will treat your personal information responsibly, we do not own or control them and cannot guarantee your privacy.

2. Necessity. If we have reason to believe that there has been some inappropriate interference with or use of our website, communications, charitable services or personal or real property (for example, see the Terms & Conditions), or if we have reason to believe that one of the Save An Orphan website users, donors, employees or other related parties may have been injured or may have harmed some other party, we will disclose, without notice to you, personal information as we deem appropriate or if compelled by a legal or regulatory authority.

3. Merger, Acquisition or other Corporate Restructure. We also may transfer your personal information to a third party successor in interest if we are involved in an acquisition, merger or other transfer of control or sale of assets. Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about our work, emergency appeal, or changes to this privacy policy.

Your access to and control over information

You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time. You can do the following at any time by contacting us via the email address or phone number given on our website:

1. See what data we have about you, if any
2. Change/correct any data we have about you

Security

Save an Orphan collects information that is necessary only to process an order. All orders are processed through PayPal. Save An Orphan has a layered security in our systems and only designated employees have access to hard copies of your personal information.

All on-line transactions are done on a secure server. This means that information entered on the transaction page is encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) before transmission. On secure pages, a "closed" lock symbol is displayed in the bottom part of your browser screen and the website address in the address bar at the top of the browser screen starts with an "https" instead of an "http". Donation pages are verified by Verisign and transactions are processed using a Verisign merchant account.

Your information collected for PayPal’s secure online payment system is governed by the PayPal Privacy Policy. PayPal requests information from you on our order form. To donate or buy from us, you must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used by PayPal for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If they have trouble processing an order, they will use this information to contact you by email.
