1. Purpose of This Payment Security Policy

The Global Fund For Jesus is committed to providing a safe, secure, and reliable environment for donors, supporters, and visitors who make financial contributions through our authorised payment channels. This Payment Security Policy explains the measures we take to help protect payment information and ensure secure donation transactions.

2. Secure Payment Processing

All online donations and payment transactions are processed through trusted and reputable third-party payment service providers that employ industry-standard security measures. These providers are responsible for securely processing payment information in accordance with applicable security and compliance requirements.

3. Protection of Payment Information

The Global Fund For Jesus takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect payment-related information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, misuse, or loss.

Where possible, sensitive payment information is encrypted during transmission using secure technologies designed to protect your financial data.

4. Payment Card Information

The Global Fund For Jesus does not intentionally store complete payment card details such as card numbers, CVV security codes, or PINs on our systems unless required by law and processed in accordance with recognised security standards.

Payment card information entered during online transactions is handled directly by our authorised payment service providers through secure payment gateways.

5. Secure Website Connections

Our website uses secure encrypted connections (HTTPS/SSL) to help protect information transmitted between your device and our website. We encourage users to ensure they are accessing our official website before submitting any personal or payment information.

6. Fraud Prevention

We actively monitor our payment processes and implement reasonable measures to help detect and prevent fraudulent transactions, unauthorised access, and suspicious activities.

If we identify unusual or potentially fraudulent activity, we may temporarily delay, review, or decline a transaction while appropriate verification is carried out.

7. Your Responsibilities

To help protect your financial information, we encourage you to:

• Make donations only through our official website and authorised payment channels.
• Verify that the website address is correct before entering payment details.
• Never share your banking passwords, PINs, or one-time passwords (OTPs).
• Keep your computer, mobile device, browser, and antivirus software up to date.
• Monitor your bank and payment statements regularly for unauthorised transactions.
• Report any suspicious payment requests claiming to represent The Global Fund For Jesus.

8. Third-Party Payment Providers

Our payment service providers operate independently and maintain their own privacy policies, security practices, and terms of service. While we carefully select trusted providers, The Global Fund For Jesus is not responsible for the security practices of third-party payment platforms beyond the services they provide on our behalf.

We encourage donors to review the privacy and security policies of any third-party payment providers used during the donation process.

9. Reporting Suspicious Activity

If you believe your payment information has been compromised or you receive suspicious communications claiming to represent The Global Fund For Jesus, please notify us immediately. We also recommend contacting your bank or payment provider without delay if you suspect fraudulent activity involving your financial accounts.

10. Limitation of Liability

While The Global Fund For Jesus takes reasonable precautions to protect payment information and maintain secure systems, no online transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. By using our payment services, you acknowledge the inherent risks associated with internet-based transactions.

11. Policy Updates

The Global Fund For Jesus may update this Payment Security Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, payment processing practices, or organisational operations. Any updates will become effective upon publication on our website.
