Privacy policy
SPANA is committed to safeguarding your privacy online. We use the information we collect about you to process your order or donation, to help us understand more about how our site is used and to be able to send you communications about SPANA that may be of interest to you, either electronically or otherwise. The 'personally identifiable information' is information that enables us to identify you, such as your email address, name, title, and address.
Please read the following policy to understand how your personal information will be treated. This policy may change from time to time so please check back periodically.
1. What personally identifiable information does SPANA collect from me?
Like many websites, SPANA uses cookies in order to provide you with a more personalised web service.
A cookie is a text-only string of information that we pass to your computer's hard disk through your web-browser so that the website can remember who you are and remember your gift information. Cookies cannot be used by themselves to identify you.
For more information about cookies, please see
www.allaboutcookies.org.
If you do not wish to receive cookies you can easily modify your web browser to refuse cookies, or to notify you when you receive a new cookie. However, you may not be able to use all the interactive features of our site if cookies are disabled, and so in order to enjoy the SPANA gift site to the full, we recommend that you leave them switched on.

2. How does SPANA use my information?
SPANA uses the information we collect about you to process your order or donation, to help us with understanding more about how our site is used and to be able to send you communications that may be of interest to you, either electronically or otherwise.
3. Who is collecting your information?
When you are on the SPANA website and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with SPANA unless stated otherwise. For example, when you are buying your gifts in the secure online shopping area, you are going through to a partner company, Secure Hosting and it is clear on the donation page when you are going through to the Secure Hosting site.
4. With whom does SPANA share your information?
As a general rule, SPANA will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information to any third party except when we have your permission, for the purposes of processing your order or donation, or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it. When you are using our secure online shopping area you are going through to a partner company and the information you give such as your credit card number and contact information is provided so that the transaction can take place. SPANA uses another partner company to process your donation and fulfil your orders.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, SPANA cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
