The purpose of this policy is to explain the types of information TLAfrica, Inc. may gather about you, how we may use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to change or correct the information.

TLAfrica, Inc. gathers and maintains a wide variety of financial and personal information, which is stored in electronic and hard copy files. This includes personal details and financial transactions concerning prospects, donors, employees, foundations, and churches.

CREDIT CARD TRANSACTIONS

For your convenience, TLAfrica, Inc. is pleased to accept a number of major credit cards for the purchase of materials, payment for services, and charitable contributions in support of our ministry.

We take reasonable precautions to ensure that all credit card transactions that occur through our website are secure. When you submit your credit card information electronically, that transaction is protected using “Secure Socket Layer” (SSL) encryption to prevent your credit card information from being seen as it travels over the Internet.

Unauthorized access is prohibited and punishable under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act.
