His Hands On Africa (HHOA) is committed to protecting your privacy and using appropriate technology to safeguard your experience when interacting with the HHOA website. This Privacy Policy, along with our Terms and Conditions of Use, applies to the His Hands On Africa website (including any websites hosted or controlled by HHOA) and governs data collection and usage. By using the HHOA website, you consent to the data practices, policies, and terms described here.

Our Commitment to Privacy

Your privacy is important to His Hands On Africa. This privacy notice explains our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. We reserve the right to update and make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time. Any updates will be posted on our website.

Our Use of Your Personal Information

Visitors can browse the HHOA website without revealing personal information. However, if you choose to provide personal information for purposes such as making a donation, signing up for a newsletter, registering for an event, applying to volunteer, or requesting information, we want to inform you how your information will be used.

The types of personal information we may collect include, but are not limited to:

  • Name

  • Address

  • Email address

  • Phone number

  • Credit/Debit card information

  • Checking account information

  • Educational or professional background

  • Work history

  • Date of birth

  • Comments, questions, or suggestions you choose to provide

You are always free to decide whether to share personal information. HHOA uses your information to complete transactions, communicate with you, and provide updates about our programs and ministry. Credit card and payment information are used solely for transaction processing and are not retained for other purposes. Information provided for volunteer or participation applications is used exclusively for processing those applications.

Security and Protecting Your Information

HHOA recognizes the importance of safeguarding your personal information. We use physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to protect your data from unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure proper use of the information we collect. For example:

  • Sensitive data transmissions (e.g., credit card details) are encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology. You can verify SSL encryption by looking for a padlock icon in your browser.

While HHOA takes reasonable steps to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission is completely secure. As such, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

Agents

In some cases, HHOA may contract with third-party service providers ("Agents") to perform tasks on our behalf, such as managing databases, processing donations, or sending email communications. These Agents use your information only for the purposes for which they were hired.
