2. To provide an interactive website where email is used to communicate with the users.
3. To provide a security mechanism whereby we can restrict content to certain groups of users.
4. To enable us to know which groups you have signed up to join and which emails (or other forms of communication) you have elected to receive.

Our principles

We are absolutely committed to protecting your privacy. Our policy can be summarised in one sentence: we will not share your information with others without your consent.

We have established the following two principles:

1. We will respect your email privacy. You will only receive email from Issachar People in relation to areas you have expressly signed up for.
2. We will not share any individual user details (including your email address) to any third party without your consent.

What information do we collect?

We collect information on our users through registration.

The minimum information we need to register a user is your first and last name and a password. We also ask for some further, voluntary information so we can provide a richer, more useful address book.

We will collect your name, postal and email addresses, payment information and information about your order. Payment information is then transmitted and processed securely and is NOT held on our servers.


Who will have access to your information?

You have control over who is able to access specific items of information. By default your user name will be visible to other authenticated users of the site when you comment on articles or there posts. 

You can manage these settings from your personal profile page. Your information will be used to build the online address book.
Access to your personal data is restricted to staff and named leaders of Issachar People.


What else you should know about privacy

Remember to close your browser when you have finished your user session. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share a device with someone else or are using a device in a public place like a library or internet cafe. You as an individual are responsible for the security of, and access to, your own device.

Please be aware that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information over the internet that this information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information in publicly accessible online forums, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your usernames and passwords and any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are using the internet.

Our pages do contain links to other websites, and you should be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices on other websites, nor the content nor any advertising that may appear. 

We use Stripe for payment, analytics, and other business services. Stripe collects identifying information about the devices that connect to its services. Stripe uses this information to operate and improve the services it provides to us, including for fraud detection. You can learn more about Stripe and read its privacy policy at https://stripe.com/privacy.
