Privacy Policy

Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to define appropriate security and protection of personal information collected on the CFN website.

Information Security

CFN has appointed an Information Security Officer to monitor privacy practices and maintains strict security procedures to protect visitor information. Access to visitor data is limited to specific individuals who are trained to respect user privacy. The access given to these employees is restricted to their need to know such information for business purposes.

Personal Information

CFN collects only the domain name, but not the email address of visitors to the CFN website. The information collected is used to improve the content of the site. The information is not shared with other organizations for commercial purposes. Information supplied online voluntarily by visitors to CFN including email addresses, postal addresses, and telephone numbers will be kept confidential. CFN will not barter, trade, or sell access to this information. Visitors who have supplied such information may receive periodic email, mailings and telephone calls about promotions and upcoming events. Visitors who do not want to receive such information should contact CFN.

Donor Privacy

CFN will not share or sell any donor’s personal information with anyone else, nor send donor mailings on behalf of any other organization.
