PRIVACY POLICY

 

We’ve tried to keep this policy as simple as possible, but, if you’re not familiar with technology terms such as “cookies,” you can learn about them here [https://iapp.org/resources/glossary/]. If you have any questions about the policy, please contact us by e-mail at Info@VictoryLife-House.org. We encourage you to read this policy carefully. Please note that this policy is part of our website Terms of Service. And please do not use our services or provide personal information to us if you do not accept all the terms of this policy. Your using the site or giving us information means you are agreeing to this policy.

 

What does personal information mean?

Personal information is non-public information that personally identifies you. This includes your name, address, email address, and phone number, as well as sensitive information such as courses or service options you purchase and how much you paid.

 

It may also include voluntary anonymous information if you decide to fill out an anonymous survey asking for your gender, if you were a child of domestic abuse, if you are a survivor of domestic abuse, your current age bracket and if you live in the United States. This information is collected and is related to search queries that are run on our database. VictoryLife House uses this information for its own purposes and may also share this data collectively on its website in order to share the populations we serve. Names are not associated with the data collected on this survey.

 

How do we collect information about you?
