PRIVACY
Privacy Policy Statement for Mission Generation on the Web
Mission Generation Inc. has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate
our firm commitment to your privacy. The following discloses our information gathering
and dissemination practices for this site.
- Mission Generation assures you that the identity of all who contact us through this website or by any other means is kept absolutely confidential: we do not rent, sell, or exchange our mailing lists and we will always strive to be responsible in our management, truthful in our advertising, and cost-effective in our fund raising.
- We are committed to the highest standard of stewardship excellence. We will exert every effort to honor any designation of preference you have stated. In certain circumstances, where a project is over funded or cannot be carried out in accordance with your preference, the funds will be used for similar projects approved by the Board of Directors. Anything less would violate the trust we keep with you, with the children, families, and communities we serve, and most importantly, with God.
- As with most other Internet sites, our web servers utilize “cookies” to track a user’s activity within our site as well as record the IP address of each visitor to this site. A cookie is a small data file that is stored on your computer. A cookie contains a unique identifying feature that allows our computer to recognize you when you return to the Mission Generation site. The recorded IP address tells us which domain you visited from (for instance, aol.com), but not your email address or other private and personal information. We use the information we record to help diagnose problems with our servers, to administer this website more effectively, and to gather broad demographic information about what countries and domains our visitors hail from and their behavior on our site.
- In some cases our site uses securely encrypted contribution response forms for visitors who choose to use these forms to provide information, request information, and make donations. We collect your willingly submitted contact information (such as your email address), unique identifiers (in some cases, a Mission Generation donor account number), and financial information (such as a credit card type, number, and expiration date). Contact information from these response forms is used to process donations, provide receipts and other information about Mission Generation to our partners. The visitor's contact information is also used to get in touch with the visitor when necessary in order to resolve partner issues or questions.
- Users may readily opt-out of receiving future communications; see the Opt-Out and Modifying Your Information" sections below. Financial information that is collected is used to bill the user for donations pledged. Unique identifiers (such as a Mission Generation account number) may be collected from website visitors to assist in matching current donation information with donor history in our record systems.
- Those who choose to register through various "guestbook"-type features on our site may choose to give us certain contact information (such as their email address). These features may also request optional demographic information (such as zip code, age, or income level). Unless you "opt out," we may use this contact information to send you additional information about Mission Generation and its programs. Your voluntarily provided contact information may also be used to contact you when necessary in order to resolve partner service issues or questions. You may readily opt-out of receiving future communications; see the "opt-out" and "modifying your information" sections below.
- Our online surveys may ask visitors for contact information (such as their email address) as well as a variety of demographic and practical questions. We may use contact data from our surveys to send the user information about Mission Generation. The user's contact information may also be used to contact the visitor when necessary. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the "opt-out" and "modifying your information" sections below.
Opt-Out
Most points on our site provide users the opportunity to opt-out of receiving communications
