Privacy Statement This
Website is owned and operated by Relief International (RI). We recognize that
visitors to our site may be concerned about the information they provide to us
and how we treat that information. This Privacy Policy addresses those
concerns. This policy may be changed or updated from time to time. If you have
any questions about our Privacy Policy, you may contact us at: Relief International
Personal Information
RI uses its best efforts to
respect the privacy of its online visitors. At our site, we do not collect
personally identifiable information from individuals unless they provide it to
us voluntarily and knowingly. This means we do not require you to register or
provide information to us in order to view our site. RI only gathers personally
identifiable data, such as names, addresses, zip/postal codes, e-mail
addresses, etc., when voluntarily submitted by a visitor. For example, we ask for personal information on our online donation pages, and use this
information to acknowledge receipt of your donation for tax purposes. RI's lists are not sold or
traded to third parties. We will not
share personally identifiable information with third parties unless authorized
by the person submitting the information or required by law. Credit Card
Information Security
RI uses industry-standard Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to protect the security of your transaction and
the confidentiality of your personal information. This makes it extremely
difficult for anyone else to intercept the credit card information you send to
us. Credit card information is not
sold or traded to third parties. We will
not share credit card information with third parties unless required by law. If you still have concerns about
the security of your credit card information, contributions may also be made by
calling 310-478-1200, or by sending personal checks or money orders to: Relief International

telling us that you do not want to receive postal mail or e-mail from us. Some
