 How CEF uses the information

CEF uses contact information to communicate with you. We use payment information to complete a purchase, subscription or contribution transaction. Credit card numbers are used only for donation or payment processing and are not retained for any other purpose.  Credit card numbers are only kept in our files until the transaction is completed. We use shipping information to deliver resources. Promotional information is used to help us prioritize our promotional efforts and to ensure that we respond to your areas of interest. Surveys are completely voluntary and users therefore do not need to disclose information. Survey information is used to improve our ministry and our sites. Correspondence information is used to accept recommendations, answer questions and facilitate future correspondence as requested. Biographical information is used among missionaries for networking, and among community members for informed donation giving and prayer sponsorship decisions. Information published by our affiliate chapters is used to promote their local ministries and communicate with their prayer and financial supporters.

 We use log files to track trends and improve the user experience. This data is not linked to personally identifiable information. We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law, or protect the rights, property, or safety of CEF, our users, or others. For the protection of our missionaries on the www.summerministries.com web site, we require that all participants of the summer missions community log in, and we record their login and IP address with every posting they make.  

CEF never sells, rents, leases, or exchanges any information obtained online with other organizations with the single exception of Teach Kids magazine, CEF’s bimonthly printed magazine for children’s workers, which shares its subscriber list with other selected organizations from time to time. CEF never discloses the identity of its donors to others. While CEF contracts with printing, credit card verification, marketing, auditing, address correction, and other like firms to help us in our work, use of the information is limited to the internal purposes of CEF.


How We Protect What We Know About You:

CEF is committed to ensuring the security of your personal information. CEF uses Internet Encryption Software, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol when collecting or transferring sensitive data such as credit card information.  Credit card information you enter is encrypted at your browser, sent over the public Internet in encrypted form, then de-encrypted at our server. Once we receive your credit card information, it is accessible only to a small number of trusted CEF staff who have been specially trained in processing this information
