Chiapas of Light respects the privacy of our supporters and all visitors to our website. The following describes the protection we provide regarding collection and use of the data we receive from donors and visitors to our website.
Chiapas of Light values our relationship with our donors and understands the importance of protecting their information whether collected through this website or sent to us via email or mail. All donor information we receive is for internal purposes only, and we take the necessary security measures to keep this information private.
Any visitor to Chiapas of Light’s website can view it without revealing any personal information. Should you choose to share information online for the purpose of processing a donation, subscribing to our email newsletter or for any other reason, Chiapas of Light will protect your personal information and tell you how we intend to use it.
Chiapas of Light does not share lists or any other information concerning those who visit our website or otherwise support our work with other parties except through our Annual Report, which thanks donors by name but does not reveal the amount given. All donors can opt out of inclusion in the Annual Report simply by sending an email request to info@child-aid.org. We do not send donor mailings on behalf of other organizations. At any time, at your request, Chiapas of Light will remove your name from our mailing list, email list or telephone solicitation list, and we will not sell, rent or trade your information to a third party.
When you provide us with your email address in order for us to send you our free email newsletter, you will have the option of also providing additional information such as your postal address and phone number.
Chiapas of Light uses a third-party email service to deliver emails. This company has the ability to track ‘open rates’ and ‘click-throughs’ and uses your email address to do this. This information is used only to determine the effectiveness of our web communications. Donors are given the option of being removed from our email list at the bottom of each email. Once again, we will not sell, rent or trade your information to a third party.
When you make a donation through our website, you will be asked to submit personal information, such as your credit card information, in order for us to process your donation. This information is processed by a third-party donation processing service which uses high-grade encryption and the industry-standard https security protocol to ensure secure transactions. However, please note that perfect security does not exist on the Internet. You will know you are in a secure area of our website when a “lock” icon appears next to the URL and the URL address changes to “https.” The s means “secure.”
You may choose to contact us through our website using one of our online forms. Any information provided in an online form will be used to fulfill your request and respond to your inquiries.
When you visit Chiapas of Light’s website, your Internet browser may automatically send us certain Internet-related information such as the IP address of the computer you are using. We may also use cookies and web beacons to enhance the online experience of visitors to our website and learn how visitors use our website.

These third-party service providers are not authorized to use or disclose information except as needed to perform the services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements. We may be required to disclose information about you if we are required to by law, in response to a request from law enforcement or other government offices or when we believe disclosure is necessary to prevent financial loss or physical harm in connection with an investigation of actual or suspected illegal activity.
