Privacy Policy
Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to Financial Freedom (FF). Because certain types of information are gathered about the users of the Financial Freedom websites, we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy policy (referred to hereafter as "Statement") discloses the privacy practices for Financial Freedom.org (referred to hereafter as "Website") what information is gathered, how it is used and how to correct or change it. This Statement only addresses activities from the servers. Questions regarding this Statement should be emailed to jarena@debtccs.org
General Privacy Information
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily and publicly disclose personal information on any online service or Website—for example on message boards, through e-Mail, or in chat areas—that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Further, while FF strives to protect your personal information, it cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to FF, and you do so at your own risk. You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.
Use of Information
All of the information FF collects, including what you convey via the site to FF and what FF collects through the use of cookies, is not "aggregated" -- meaning that the information from individual users is not grouped together in a way that discloses the personal information of any particular user. This non-aggregated information may be used to evaluate which ministry programs are successful and which ones are not, and in order to evaluate which new options should be available on the FF websites. To help understand and deliver better-targeted information only the anonymous click stream data will be used. FF will not disclose any information about any individual without the individual's consent, except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process. In addition, it may be shared with Third Parties who assist FF in producing its website or provide a service to FF Financial Freedom members.

Children Under the Age of 13
FF will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (is U.S.C. 6501 et seq.). However, personally identifiable information regarding your child is requested from you, as a parent, for use only on the Application Form. Children of any age should always ask a parent for permission before sending personal information to anyone online.
Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that certain Web sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you've visited. The only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside the assigning site. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. This random number, helps FF keep track of "how many" times members are doing specific things—like visiting the website each month—without really knowing who those members are.
Users should be aware that FF cannot control the use of cookies or the resulting information by third parties hosting data for FF. If a user does not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the user to deny or accept the cookie feature; however, users should note that cookies maybe necessary to provide the user with certain features (e.g., customized delivery of information) available on the Financial Freedom.org website.
Newsletters
Members may cancel their free email subscriptions to newsletters by following the simple instructions at the bottom of each newsletter or email.
Security
FF utilizes a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. All contact information is contained behind a "firewall" and only accessible by a limited number of employees who have special access rights to this information.
Passwords and credit card numbers are encrypted in Financial Freedom’s secure database, which is also located behind a firewall. All sensitive/credit information supplied by users is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted in Financial Freedom’s databases as stated above.
