PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY
POLICY CAREFULLY.
By accessing or otherwise using this
lifeprojectafrica.org site, you agree to be bound
contractually by this Privacy Policy.
PRIVACY POLICY
Effective Date: March 15, 2009
1. Privacy Statement; Collection of Personal
Information.
1.1 Life Project for Africa ("LPA") operates this
website. All references to "we", "us", this "website" or
this "site" shall be construed to mean LPA.
1.2 We understand that visitors to this website are
concerned about the privacy of information. The
following describes our privacy policy regarding
information, including personal information, that we
collect through this website.
2. Modification of Privacy Policy. We reserve the right
to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, and without
prior notice, by posting an amended Privacy Policy that
is always accessible by clicking on the "Privacy Policy"
link on this site's home page. Your continued use of
this site indicates your acceptance of the amended
Privacy Policy. You should check the Privacy Policy
through this link periodically for modifications by
clicking on the link provided near the top of the
Privacy Policy for a listing of material modifications
and their effective dates. Regarding personal
information, if any modifications are materially less
restrictive on our use or disclosure of the personal
information previously disclosed by you, we will obtain
your consent before implementing such revisions with
respect to such information.
3. Collection of Anonymous, Passive Information. We
reserve the right to monitor your use of this site. As
you navigate through this site, certain anonymous
information may be passively collected (that is,
gathered without your actively providing the
information) using various technologies, such as
cookies, Internet tags or web beacons, and navigational
data collection (log files, server logs, clickstream).
The following is a listing and a brief explanation of
passive information collection methodologies which we
may use from time to time to better understand how this
site is being used.
3.1 A "cookie" is a text file that this site sends to
your browser in the form of a text file The information
generated by the cookie about your use of this site
(including your IP address) will be transmitted to and
stored. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but
they usually can be modified to decline cookies if you
prefer; however, certain features of this site might not
work without cookies.
3.2 "Session" cookies are temporary bits of information
that are used to improve navigation, block visitors from
providing information where inappropriate (the site
"remembers" previous entries of age or country of origin
that were outside the specified parameters and blocks
subsequent changes), and collect aggregate statistical
information on the site. They are erased once you exit
your Web browser or otherwise turn off your computer.
3.3 "Persistent" cookies are more permanent bits of
information that are placed on the hard drive of your
computer and stay there unless you delete the cookie.
Persistent cookies store information on your computer
for a number of purposes, such as retrieving certain
information you have previously provided, helping to
determine what areas of the site you may find most
valuable, and customizing the site based on your
preferences on an ongoing basis. Persistent cookies
placed by this site in your computer do not hold
personal information.
3.4 You can set your browser to accept all cookies, to
reject all cookies, or to notify you whenever a cookie
is offered so that you can decide each time whether to
accept it. To learn more about cookies and how to
specify your preferences, please search for "cookie" in
the "Help" portion of your browser.
3.5 An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number
assigned to your computer by your Internet service
provider so you can access the Internet and is generally
considered to be non-personally identifiable
information, because in most cases an IP address is
dynamic (changing each time you connect to the
Internet), rather than static (unique to a particular
user's computer). The IP address can be used to diagnose
problems with a server, report aggregate information,
determine the fastest route for your computer to use in
connecting to a site, and administer and improve the
site.
3.6 "Internet tags" (also known as Web Beacons,
single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, and
1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the Web
site server information such as the IP address and
browser type related to the visitor's computer. Tags may
be placed both on online advertisements that bring
people to the site and on different pages of the site.
Such tags indicate how many times a page is opened and
which information is consulted.
3.7 "Navigational data" (log files, server logs, and
clickstream data) are used for system management, to
improve the content of the site, market research
purposes, and to communicate information to visitors.
4. Use and Sharing of Anonymous, Passive Information.
This site may make full use of passively collected
anonymous information, including without limitation the
right to use such information to provide better service
to site visitors, customize the site based on your
preferences, compile and analyze statistics and trends,
and otherwise administer and improve this site for your
use. We reserve the right to share this anonymous,
passive information in aggregated form.
5. Use of 3rd Party Cookies. We reserve the right to use
web analytics services provided by third parties. These
services use 3rd party cookies to collect anonymous,
passive information about your use of this site (see
explanation of cookies in Collection of Anonymous,
Passive Information above). We use this information for
the purpose of evaluating your use of this site,
compiling reports on website activity, and providing
other services. These web analytics services may also
transfer this information to third parties where
required to do so by law, or where such third parties
process the information on the service's behalf.
6. Collection of Personal Information; Categories. We
will ask you for personal information when you sign up
for any specific benefit or purpose that requires
registration. Personal information that we collect may
vary with the each registration, and it may include one
or more of the following categories: name, physical
address, an email address, phone number, and credit card
information including credit card number, expiration
date, and billing address.
7. Use And Sharing of Personal Information: General
Policy And Exceptions. Our general policy is that we
will use your personal information only for the
performance of the services or transaction for which it
was given, and we will not share, sell, or rent your
personal information to others. The only exceptions to
this general policy: (i) are described in the
subsections below, and (ii) if you explicitly approve

subsidiaries, or trusted service providers for the
purpose of hosting our servers or processing or
archiving personal information for us. We require that
these parties agree to privacy and security safeguards
for this information that are consistent with this
Privacy Policy.
7.2 Acquisition; Bankruptcy. In the event that we are
acquired by or merged with a third party entity, we
reserve the right to transfer such information as part
of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of
control. In the unlikely event of our bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or assignment
for the benefit of creditors, or the application of laws
or equitable principles affecting creditors' rights
generally, we reserve the right to transfer such
information to protect our rights or as required by law.
7.3 Enforcement; Legal Process. We reserve the right to
transfer such information if we have a good faith belief
that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such
information is reasonably necessary (i) to satisfy any

accepted industry standards to protect your personal

the Internet or method of data storage can be guaranteed
100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your

administrative personnel, or undermine the privacy
rights of others. We reserve the right to permit you to

establish with our site for purposes of making your own
changes or updates, and in such case, instructions for
making such changes or updates will be provided where
necessary.
