Our site uses cookies to keep track of your use of our site.
Cookies are stored on your computer, and are not stored on

deliver content specific to your interests, and to recognize
you when you visit our site. A cookie is a small piece of
data that is sent to your browser from a web server and

We may also request your e-mail address or mailing address
for the purposes of conducting a survey or to provide
additional services (for example, subscriptions to e-mail

will clearly indicate the purpose of the inquiry before the
information is requested. We maintain a strict
"No-Spam" policy, that means that we do not intend
to sell, rent, or otherwise give your e-mail address to a
third-party.
In addition, darkness2light.org will not send you email that
you have not agreed to receive. We may from time to time
send e-mail announcing new products and services. If you
choose to supply your postal address in an online form, you
may receive mailings.
If you choose to donate or purchase something online, we need to know
your name, e-mail address, mailing address, credit card
number, and expiration date. This allows us to process and
fulfill your order and to notify you of your order status.

related product and services, but will not be shared or sold
to third parties for any purpose.Will you disclose the information you collect to outside

process served on Darkness to Light,
2) Protect and defend the rights or property of Darkness to
Light, or visitors to darkness2light.org,
3) Identify persons who may be violating the law, the legal

Please check with those sites to determine their privacy
policy.

personal information online - for example through e-mail,
