The Mission America Coalition (MAC) is committed to the privacy of those who visit the MAC web site or who make a donation – either online or through the mail.
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure the proper use of information, we have set up appropriate physical, electronic and administrative procedures so that the information we collect from you is secure.
The following information will help you understand what kinds of information we may gather when you visit the MAC web site, how we may use that information and how you can respond.
There are three ways we collect information from visitors to the MAC web site:
- Online requests for more information, such as when you subscribe to the MAC EConnections or MAC Update ENewsletters or send an email requesting information or asking a question.
- Online registration for MAC-related events.
- Online donations.
While you may not be asked to provide all information in each of the above situations, we may request the following: name, ministry name (if applicable), street address, city, state, ZIP/postal code, telephone number and email. When making an online donation or registering for an event, you will also be asked your credit card name, card number and expiration date.
In order to better serve you, at certain times, we may also ask you to provide us with information on how you prefer to be contacted and information related to your interests and personal demographics.
If you send an email to MAC asking a question or requesting information, your email may be forwarded to someone either at MAC or outside of MAC who may be able to provide you with the information you request.
We do not share personally identifiable information about you with others (such as your name, address and/or email address) except as noted above. Personal information may be stored and used internally to provide the services you have expressly requested. We will only release personal information when we believe that release is appropriate to comply with law or to protect the rights, property or safety of the Mission America Coalition, our partners or others.
