By visiting our website you accept and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

CFMT may collect personal information about you when you visit our website. This information is used to provide you with the information that you are requesting from us, information on our services and information regarding your charitable contributions.

How We Protect Your Personal Information
We have taken precautions to protect your personal information under our control from misuse, loss or alteration. Our security measures include industry standard technology and equipment to help protect your data. Unfortunately, however, no system can ensure complete security and you should take all necessary steps to protect your information and its transmission to us. Since the Internet is a public medium, we cannot guarantee the absolute protection of your personal information or other data.
How We Protect Credit Card Information
CFMT is committed to protecting the security of your credit card information and to honoring your choices for its intended use. To help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we process financial transactions using the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard -- PCI DSS (the credit card industry's security standard). Examples of our security measures include: physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards and the use of strong encryption (e.g., SSL) for transmissions of credit card information to and from our credit card processor. While we employ procedures to help ensure that your credit card information is only used for authorized purposes, we cannot make any guarantees with respect to the actions or policies of third parties.
