Information Security
The Global Fund For Jesus is committed to protecting the personal information entrusted to us by our donors, volunteers, supporters, beneficiaries, and website visitors. We implement reasonable technical, administrative, and organisational measures designed to safeguard personal information against unauthorised access, misuse, loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
Protecting your privacy and maintaining the confidentiality of your information are important aspects of our commitment to operating with integrity and transparency.
Security Measures
We take appropriate steps to protect the personal information we collect and process. Depending on the nature of the information and the services provided, these measures may include:
- Secure website connections using encryption technologies (such as SSL/TLS).
- Restricted access to personal information on a need-to-know basis.
- Secure payment processing through trusted third-party payment providers.
- Password-protected systems and user authentication controls.
- Regular monitoring of our website and systems for potential security threats.
- Secure storage and management of organisational records.
- Staff and authorised personnel who are required to handle personal information confidentially.
- Appropriate technical and organisational safeguards to reduce the risk of unauthorised access or disclosure.
These measures are regularly reviewed and updated where appropriate to help maintain the security of our information systems.
Protecting Donation Information
The Global Fund For Jesus does not store your full debit card, credit card, or banking information. All online donations are processed through trusted third-party payment service providers that use recognised security standards to protect payment transactions.
We only retain limited transaction information necessary to administer donations, maintain financial records, and provide donation confirmations or receipts.
Access to Personal Information
Access to personal information is limited to authorised personnel, trusted service providers, or contractors who require the information to perform their responsibilities on behalf of The Global Fund For Jesus. All such individuals are expected to maintain appropriate standards of confidentiality and security when handling personal information.
Data Retention and Protection
We retain personal information only for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, maintain accurate organisational records, or enforce our policies.
When personal information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to securely delete, destroy, or anonymise it in accordance with applicable laws and recognised data protection practices.
Limitations of Internet Security
While The Global Fund For Jesus takes reasonable precautions to protect your personal information, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing electronic information can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
As a result, although we strive to use commercially reasonable measures to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of any information transmitted to or from our website. Any transmission of information is undertaken at your own risk.
Your Role in Protecting Your Information
You can also help protect your personal information by taking reasonable precautions, including:
- Keeping your devices and internet browsers up to date.
- Using strong and unique passwords where applicable.
- Avoiding the sharing of sensitive personal information through unsecured communication channels.
- Contacting us promptly if you believe your information has been compromised or if you notice any suspicious activity relating to your interactions with our organisation.
Our Ongoing Commitment
The Global Fund For Jesus continually works to maintain appropriate security practices and improve our systems to help protect the personal information of everyone who supports our mission. While security risks can never be completely eliminated, we remain committed to implementing reasonable safeguards that promote the confidentiality, integrity, and responsible management of your information.
