How We Secure Information

We are committed to maintaining measures to protect the security of your personal information maintained in our systems. However, no network or system is ever entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of networks and systems that we operate or that are operated on our behalf. If we face a security breach, we may notify you as required by law via email or conspicuous posting on our Websites, Digital Products, or Foundation Project Contributor Services.

The safety and security of your personal information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. You should not share your password with anyone.

How We Share Information

We may share your personal information with third parties to operate our business (including for the purposes described above), to provide our Digital Products, Foundation Project Contributor Services, and Websites to you and others, as permitted or required by law, or as directed or authorized by you. For example:

Ministries, Users, and Contributors. If you are a User or Contributor, we may share your information with other Users or Contributors in order to provide our services, or generally as we deem reasonably necessary to run our business. For example, we may provide collaboration tools as part of our services. If you use these tools, your information may be shared with others. We may share information with our customers about individuals affiliated with their organization who use our services. For example, if you are a Contributor affiliated with a particular ministry, we may share information about your activities with that ministry.
