Neither The Haitian Project, nor our third-party affiliates acting on our behalf to help provide the services, will willfully disclose any personally identifiable information about our online users to any non-affiliated third party without first receiving the user's permission, unless required by law.

To prevent unauthorized access, disclosure and improper use of your information, we have established physical, electronic, and managerial safeguards to protect the information we collect in accordance with our privacy policy. However, no one can guarantee any data transmission over the Internet to be 100% secure.
