Kripa Connection International is a registered non-profit corporation that relies on the generous support received from the general public. We encourage our donors to write to us and inquire about how donated funds are allocated and utilized.

Privacy Policy

Kripa Connection International realizes you are concerned about how information you give us is used and shared. This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting www.kripaconnection.com, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice. Please know that we are committed to protecting and appropriately handling the private and personal information of users and visitors to this Site.  We may, from time-to-time, update this privacy notice so we encourage you to periodically review this policy.  We will notify you about material changes in the way we treat personal information by placing a notice on our site.

  1. What Personal Information Does Kripa Gather?

We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You may choose not to provide certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our stores, matching your partner information with your community profile, and communicating with you.

  2. Collection and Use of Information.

We take your privacy very seriously.  You can visit and enjoy many of our Sites without disclosing any personal information about yourself. There may be times when you will have the opportunity to share limited, personally identifiable information to access or utilize certain features of this Site.  We limit our collection of personal information to pertinent information for the activity you choose to undertake.  For example, in order for you to make a purchase or donation, we may collect your name, e-mail address, street and billing addresses, phone number, and credit card information.  Depending on what you purchase, we may also need to collect other personal information.

Generally, we will not disclose or share any visitor information (including your e-mail address) with anyone outside Kripa without your permission. There may be times that we need to use your information in order to provide you with ministry services or products.  For example, we may need to use or share your information with our partners and agents who provide goods and services to you on our behalf.  We also may need to share your information with other parts of Kripa to service your requests or provide you with information or other ministry opportunities.  Lastly, we may need to use your information if required for us to comply with legal requirements pertaining to your information or activities, or to enforce our rights as agreed under the Terms of Use.  In all such efforts we will take steps to safeguard your information. You agree that by submitting information to this Site you understand and freely consent to allow us to use, store, publish, transmit and process this information at our discretion to provide you with the goods and services you request and to operate this Site and related ministry activities.

  3. Registering on the Site.

We give visitors to certain Sites the opportunity to register or provide their contact information such as their e-mail address so they can receive updates such as newsletters about our project or organization reports, opportunities for personal and financial involvement and promotional information.  You may also be required to register on the Site to engage in other activities, such as purchases or downloads of materials, services, products, donations,  or receiving promotions.  Personally identifiable information that you provide in these registrations is used consistently with this policy and we will notify you at a particular site if any uses are different than these uses.  You can choose not to receive such mailings by un-subscribing.  (See “Opt-In/Opt-Out Communications” below).

  4. How Secure Is Information About Me?

For Sites that collect information, we typically employ security measures, including technical, administrative, and physical security steps to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of information under our control.  For example, the Site may use a Secured Socket Layer (SSL) server for activities such as order forms, and for users to make donations, download information and materials, and to make purchases online.  For this, users need to provide contact information (such as name, postal and e-mail addresses) and financial information (credit card numbers and expiration dates).  Information that is collected from a person may be used to verify their qualifications for registration, to bill them for products and services, and for all purposes related to the transaction.  These uses could include processing your order, transmitting information to the participating merchant or service provider, and authenticating your purchase(s), and the information you have provided.  We also use technology to protect your credit card number when we store your order and whenever we transfer that information to participating merchants or service providers.

We cannot guarantee that the security measures we implement in connection with the operation of the Site will absolutely prevent others from accessing or acquiring any information that you provide while using the Site.  You can do some things to help protect the security of your information.  For instance, never give out your password since this is what is used to access all of your account information.  Also, remember to sign out of your account and close your browser window when you finish visiting our Site, so that other people using the same computer will not have access to your information.

  5. Cookies and Information Collected by Technology.

The Site may use cookies to keep track of Web site activities, save your password or deliver content specific to your interests.  A cookie is a small data file that certain Web sites write to your hard drive when you visit them.  A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you’ve visited.  The only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. Without Cookies you will not be able to log in. Cookies also allow information to be retained between visits. If you click the “remember me” option, it will set a log in Cookie to automatically log you in every time you visit the site.

  6. Third Party Sites and Information.

The Site may contain links to other Web sites that are run by third parties such as other organizations, Sponsors, Content Providers and Advertisers.  Once you’ve clicked on a link or button activator for an outside Site, you will leave the Site and be taken to sites that we do not control, and our privacy policy no longer applies on those sites.

You must read the privacy policy of the third party Web site concerning how personal information will be used.  We also provide content created by third-parties on certain of our Sites.  We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Content Providers or Third-Party Sites.

  7. Special Rules for Children.

Kripa does not sell products for purchase by children. We sell children’s products for purchase by adults. If you are under 13, you may use Kripaconnection.com only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

  8. Opt-In/Opt-Out Communications.

We may provide visitors to the Site the opportunity to register for services such as signing-up to receive updates from Kripa.  Visitors are not obligated to register for these services.  Also, you can unsubscribe from any electronic communications from Kripa. Please contact us to request that we no longer contact you via e-mail or other means using the personal information you have provided at any of the Site.

  9. Access and Change Information.

The Site may offer different options for accessing, changing and modifying information you previously provided at the Site.  To change or update your information, such as donor record (, e-mail address, or address, or to stop a duplicate e-mail, please contact us as described below.

Our business changes constantly, and our Privacy Notice will change also. We may e-mail periodic reminders of our notices and conditions, unless you have instructed us not to, but you should check our Web site frequently to see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Notice applies to all information that we have about you and your account. We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information collected in the past without the consent of affected customers.
