USE OF COOKIES
The Freedom Church Africa Web site use “cookies” to help you personalise your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalise Freedom Church Africa pages, or register with Freedom Church Africa site or services, a cookie helps Freedom Church Africa to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Freedom Church Africa Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Freedom Church Africa features that you customised.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Freedom Church Africa services or Web sites you visit.
SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AND BREACHES
Freedom Church Africa secures your personal information (and any back-ups) from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. Freedom Church Africa secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
We will take seriously and deal promptly with any accidental or unauthorised disclosure of personal information.
OVERSEAS DISCLOSURE
Freedom Church Africa is not likely to disclose your personal information to overseas recipients, except in exceptional circumstances related to the authorised use under this policy, for the purposes of storage on a cloud server, or for any other lawful purpose.
