How long we retain your data

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Privacy Policy
Hope To You is committed to protecting your online privacy while providing you with the most useful and enjoyable online experience possible. While you can use many features of our site anonymously, you are required to provide personal information to make donations or request that we send you information or materials.

Email Privacy Policy

Your privacy is extremely important to us, and we will do everything possible to protect it. To that end, Hope To You maintains an opt-in policy for its email communications. That means we only send email to individuals who have requested to receive our emails or to people with whom we have an ongoing relationship.

Please note that all email we send you has the provision to unsubscribe built-in so that you can change your mind at any time. And you can be assured that we will not share your email address with others, nor will we ever sell or rent your email address to anyone.

How we collect and use personal information
If you respond to an offer, we must ask for your postal address so we can deliver the requested materials. We will not share your information obtained on this website with any third party organizations. The exception is with credit card donations, when we share your information with the merchant account company solely for the processing of the donation.
How we protect your personal information
When making an online donation or purchasing resources, the personal data you enter on Hope To You site is encrypted with secure server software (Secure Sockets Layer SSL) that encodes the information before your web browser software sends it to us. Your information remains encrypted while it is sent to us, and is decoded only after it reaches our server, meaning hackers cannot obtain any of your personal information while it is in transit.
After your purchase or donation has entered our system, your credit card information is only retained if directed by you for ongoing donations to the ministry. Otherwise, Hope To You does not keep a copy of your credit card number on file.

In addition to using secure technology, we work tirelessly to make sure that we use any information you provide us only in ways you have approved.
