Keeping your personal financial information private is vitally important to us. As a matter of policy and long time business practice, Strong Homes Strong Families does not sell information provided by its customers. User statistics that we may provide to prospective partners regarding financial matters are provided in the aggregate and do not include any personally identifiable information about an individual User. We will transfer the User’s credit card number, bank account number or other personal information to the appropriate credit card company or bank in order to process any online payments.

What security precautions are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of my information?

Your Strong Homes Strong Families account information and Strong Homes Strong Families profile are password-protected so you have access to this personal information. We use encryption technology to protect credit card numbers, bank account numbers, passwords and registration information while they are being transferred over the public Internet. Remember to sign out of your Strong Homes Strong Families account and close your browser window when you have finished your work. This is to ensure that others cannot access your account by using your computer when you are away from it. Because of the global nature of the Internet, when you give us information, that information may be sent electronically to servers outside of the country where you originally entered the information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Except as discussed above or otherwise designated, this Site does not use security encryption measures. Therefore, information that you disclose by use of this Site (as with any site that is non-secure), by posting a message or using email, potentially could be collected and used by others. This may result in unsolicited messages from third parties or use of such information by third parties for their own purposes, legal or illegal. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Strong Homes Strong Families cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our services, and you do so at your own risk. Strong Homes Strong Families is not responsible for any damages incurred resulting from the transmission of any information to us or from our services, or resulting from any unauthorized use of said information. Once we receive your transmission, we use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems.

Although we undertake commercially reasonable measures to prevent unauthorized access, loss, and misuse of information, third parties may nevertheless unlawfully or clandestinely intercept or access information or other confidential transmissions. We also ask Users to carefully review their accounts and immediately report any unexpected activity to us and their issuing bank or credit card company. Additionally, we ask all Users to take measures to help protect personal information in their online accounts, including the following:

  1. Install the latest security updates and anti-virus software on your computer(s) and mobile device(s) to help prevent malware and viruses;
  2. Reset your account password periodically;
  3. Use complex passwords;
  4. Do not use the same password on more than one website;
  5. Do not share your password with others;
  6. Password protect your personal mobile device(s); and
  7. Sign out/log off website sessions so that your session is closed and cannot be accessed by another user on the same computer, especially when using a public computer or terminal.
