Privacy Policy for Website Access

How Information is Collected

On some Young Life web pages or websites (including all Young Life local, regional, divisional, international and camp websites and the Young Life Staff Resource Site, which are hereinafter referred to as “the Young Life network”), you may be asked to provide certain personal information for ministry-related purposes or to make ministry contributions. We do not collect personal information without your knowledge; however, we do allow you to provide personal information that will help us serve your request (for instance, you can give feedback or make donations on the Young Life network). We will only ask for the information that will help us facilitate your request. When you provide any such information, you are acknowledging your consent to our use of such information to better serve you and others visiting the Young Life network.

How Information is Used

Young Life uses information you provide to better serve your requests. We do not sell, lease or rent your confidential information to others. However, we may need to provide personal information as may be required by law, regulation, court order, subpoena, search warrant, in the course of a legal proceeding or in response to a law enforcement agency request, to enforce our terms of use or to protect the safety and security of our visitors and our sites.

Security

To safeguard and secure the information we collect online, Young Life has applied appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to prevent unauthorized access and maintain data accuracy. Internet encryption software, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol, is utilized to protect sensitive data transmissions with banking or credit card information. The padlock icon in the bottom of your browser’s window or a blue line around the window signifies that a site is secure. Sometimes password protection is used to protect your privacy and security.

Third-Party Disclosure

Young Life does not disclose any personal information we collect from our websites to third parties. We do use this aggregate information, which is not personally identifiable, to give us demographic information about the entire Young Life network audience in order to improve our service through our entire series of information and products.

Links to Other Sites

The Young Life network may, from time to time, provide links to other sites not owned or controlled by Young Life. In some cases, Young Life has contracted other vendors to manage a specific function such as Young Life’s online store or donor giving. No assumption should be made and no representation should be inferred that Young Life is connected with, operates or controls these websites. Users who agree to link to these sites are alerted that they are leaving the Young Life network before they are linked to the other site. The privacy and data collection practices on linked websites are entirely separate from the Young Life network and are not covered by this privacy policy.

The use of a school name within the Young Life network that references a local Young Life or WyldLife group is not intended to imply any affiliation between Young Life and the school or school district (public or private).
