Internet Log Files

Internet Links
Our web site may contain links to other web sites. Please be aware that Tierra Miguel Foundation and Farm is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by tierramiguelfarm.org.
Computer Security
Our web site takes every precaution to protect our your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks you to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just ‘surfing’.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees and volunteers who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information.
Our employees and volunteers must use password-protected screen-savers when they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their password to re-gain access to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees and volunteers are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees and volunteers are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers’ information is protected.

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our web site so you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify you by e-mail.
