Africa America Crisis
Assistance Network has a firm commitment to privacy. We take your
privacy concerns seriously and want to make every effort to address
them. That is why we have adopted the following policy, which explains
our position on information-gathering and disclosure.
Your Personal Information
From time to time, we may ask for information that personally identifies
you, as in our user surveys or registration for Africa America Crisis
Assistance Network services such as e-mail, forums, or promotions.
We use this information to operate Africa America Crisis Assistance
Network ' services, provide you with the highest quality services
and offer you opportunities we think will be of interest.
We will not disclose any personal information without your advance
permission except when we believe the law requires us to do so or
the disclosure is necessary to protect the rights or property of
Africa America Crisis Assistance Network , or as explained below.
In order to describe our services to prospective partners, advertisers
and others, we may disclose user information but only in a form
that does not identify individual users. For example, we might disclose
that a certain percentage of our users are male or within a certain
age range.
Occasionally, we may disclose personal information in other circumstances,
but we will only do this if we have explained at the time we collect
the information the purpose for which it will be disclosed.
Kids' Privacy
Africa America Crisis Assistance Network is particularly concerned
with providing a safe online environment for kids. Therefore, in
areas operated by Africa America Crisis Assistance Network that
are directed to kids or when we learn that a user is under the age
of 13, we will ask for parental consent before collecting additional
personal information about the child or allowing the child to use
the Africa America Crisis Assistance Network services to provide
additional personal information.
Parental consent can be provided in two ways:
(1) Send a fax copy of a completed Parental Consent Form, including
your signature, to the facsimile number provided on the Parental
Consent Form (which will be provided in applicable areas on our
site)
(2) Call us at the telephone number provided on the web site. Africa
America Crisis Assistance Network will not knowingly disclose personal
information about users under the age of 13 without prior parental
consent, except as required by law. If for any reason you wish to
access, update or remove information about your child or terminate
your child's account, you may fax or call Africa America Crisis
Assistance Network at the numbers listed above or send an e-mail
to [email protected]
Africa America Crisis Assistance Network strongly recommends parental supervision when
a child uses the Internet, and particularly when a child enters
a forum or uses e-mail. We also encourage parents to instruct their
children not to give out personal information in these areas.

stores that sell a variety of goods and services. These stores may
