2. How We Use the Personal Information We Collect

2.1 Your Account

We may use the personal information that we receive or collect about you to operate, improve, and promote our organization.  For example, we use the information to register your account for certain Services we provide, to communicate with you about our Services for customer service purposes, to improve our Services by providing personalized experiences, location customization, personalized help and instructions, and for other customer service purposes. We may obtain additional personal information about you to keep our records current.

2.2 Our Business Use

We may use the personal information that we receive or collect about you for internal business purposes such as helping us improve the content and functionality of our Services, to better understand our users and how they use our Services, to improve the Services we offer, to develop new features or services, to manage your account, to provide you with customer service, to help improve our security and prevent fraud, to comply with and enforce all legal obligations and rights, and to generally manage the Services and our business.

2.3 Communications and Marketing

We may use the personal information that we receive or collect about you for marketing and other communications purposes such as to provide you with information you have requested to receive from us in response to your opt-in requests, to send you electronic communications regarding events, news and updates, newsletters, and promotions, to send you promotional or marketing materials via electronic communications, to provide you with offers for third party products and services, and to inform you of new changes or updates to our Services, policies or terms of use. We may also use your personal information for marketing and advertising purposes such as advertising our Services on third party websites and in displaying targeted content and advertisements to you on or off our Services.

We use Google AdWords & Facebook’s remarketing service to advertise on third party websites to previous visitors to our site. It could mean that we advertise to previous visitors who haven’t completed a task on our site, for example using the contact form to make an inquiry. This could be in the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page, a site in the Google Display Network, or somewhere on Facebook. Third-party vendors, including Google & Facebook, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to the CAFO website. Of course, any data collected will be used in accordance with our own Privacy Notice, as well as Google & Facebook privacy policies.

You can opt-out of remarketing by visiting the links below:

• For Google: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=en
• For Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ads/website_custom_audiences/
• For further information regarding electronic communications, please see “5.3 Opting Out of Electronic Communications” below.

2.4 Membership

We are a member organization. Members of CAFO have a profile on our website and authorized member representatives may update, supplement, or delete their member profile information (although some member profile data must be maintained by us).

We use members’ company and personal information for membership administration, to deliver member benefits, and to inform our members of CAFO-related events, content, and other benefits or opportunities associated with membership. CAFO also uses this information to help us understand our members’ needs and interests so that we can better meet them and to improve our Services.

2.5 Live Events

CAFO organizes, hosts, and participates in trade shows and other live events during the year. If you register for one of our events, we will collect your name and contact information for that purpose. In addition, we request supplemental information from attendees about themselves and their interests, preferences, and demographics and we use this information to facilitate attendee preferences and to tailor the event programming and communications according to their expressed interests. Some of this information is collected through mobile apps we make available that are designed to allow attendees to access live event information and help them plan their attendance. We keep a record of this information and your participation at events and use it to help us tailor and improve future live events and programs. Some of this information may be optional as indicated by the event registration form on our website or in the app.

If you are a presenter at one of our events, we will collect information about you including your name, employer, contact, and biographical information, and photograph, and we may also collect information provided by event attendees who evaluated your performance as a presenter.

CAFO and third party participants at our events (sponsors, exhibitors, general attendees) may create video and audio recordings of the live event including of attendees generally and of particular presentations and performances. It is not possible to guarantee that you will not be recorded in this manner if you attend a live event.

2.6 Legal Basis of Processing

If applicable in your jurisdiction, we only process your personal information where we have an applicable legal basis for doing so.  Our legal basis will depend on the personal information concerned, the specific context in which we collect it, and the purposes for which it is used.  However, we will normally collect and use your personal information only where we have your consent to do so (typically in order to send you marketing communications), where we require the personal information to create or perform a contract with you or a company with which you are associated, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms (for most of our activities not covered by consent or creation or performance of a contract).  In some very rare cases, we may also have a legal basis to collect or use your personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person.

If you have specific questions about or need further information concerning the legal bases on which we collect and use your personal information, please contact us using the information provided in the section below entitled “13. Contacting Us.”

3. How We Share Your Personal Information

3.2 Contractors and Service Providers

We share your personal information with our contractors, consultants, and service providers who process personal information on behalf of CAFO to perform certain business-related functions. These companies may include, but are not limited to, database service providers, backup and disaster recovery service providers, email service providers, and others.

3.6 Marketing Partners

We may share aggregated or anonymized information about users with third parties for research, marketing or similar purposes.

At times, our Services may contain links to other third party websites and services. Any access to and use of such linked websites is not governed by this Privacy Notice, but is governed by the privacy policies of those third party websites and services. We are not responsible for the information practices and policies of such third party websites and services.

3.8 Legal Compliance and Enforcement of Rights

We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law in order to respond to a subpoena or request from law enforcement, a court, or a government agency (including in response to public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements), or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (i) comply with a legal obligation, (ii) protect or defend our rights, interests, or property, or that of third parties, (iii) prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with our Services or organization, (iv) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of our Services or the public, or (v) protect against legal liability.

4. How We Secure Your Personal Information

We maintain reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect personal information in our hosted applications from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. While we implement such safeguards, no information system is impenetrable and due to the inherent nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that data, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our systems or otherwise in our care, is absolutely safe from intrusion by others.

5. Choices You Have Regarding Your Personal Information

5.1 Updating or Removing Your Personal Information

To the extent provided by the law of your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access or correct the personal information we maintain about you and, in some cases, you may require that we delete the information, or object to or request that we restrict our processing of the information.  You can access, correct, and delete your profile information through profile settings on our website, although we require that certain minimal member information be provided and kept up to date while maintaining your membership.  Some information must be maintained by CAFO, but you can request that we update that information. Other such requests may be directed to us at the contact information at the end of this Privacy Notice.

5.2 Opting Out of Electronic Communications

CAFO may send you electronic communications through the Services. When you use our Services, you have the option of signing up for CAFO and its program newsletters. If at any time you would like to stop receiving program, newsletter or other promotions materials, you may follow the opt-out instructions contained in any such electronic communication to opt-out of receiving communications. Additionally, you may also manage your email preferences at any time through your account.

6. Retention of Your Personal Information

We will retain your personal information as long as you are registered to use our Services or otherwise for as long as required by the purpose for which it has been collected. You may close your account by contacting us by email at info@cafo.org or by mail at the address listed under “13. Contacting Us”. However, please be aware we may retain personal information for an additional period as required under applicable laws. After we delete your personal information, it may exist on backup or archival media or servers for an additional period of time for legal, tax, or regulatory reasons, or for legitimate and lawful business purposes.

7. Cookies

7.1 What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. We use cookies to do a number of things such as remember your preferences, record what intensives you want to attend at Summit for your shopping cart, allow you to log into your member profile, and analyze your web page visits and activity to help us improve our offerings and target our communications based on your inferred interests.

Cookies do not themselves store information that identifies you, but they are often used in a manner that they can be associated with you. Here are the types of cookies you will encounter in using our website:

• Strictly Necessary – these are required by our website to perform certain functions such as allowing you to log in to your member profile or make online donation;
• Functional – these help to improve your experience by doing things like remembering certain preferences you have set; and
• Analytic – these are used to analyze, in an aggregated manner, the way our website is used and the performance of advertising efforts so that we can improve the website and our offerings and our marketing efforts. We use Google Analytics for analyzing activity on our site. We also use Facebook Ads conversion tracking, an analytics service provided by Facebook that collects and helps us analyze your activity on our site that may be attributable to our ads displayed within Facebook and its affiliated sites.

7.2 Managing Cookies

Most Internet browser settings will allow you to accept, reject, delete and otherwise manage cookies. You can find more information about this at www.allaboutcookies.org. You can also avoid receiving cookies by browsing our website using your browser’s anonymous usage setting (called “Incognito” in Chrome, “InPrivate” for Internet Explorer, and “Private Browsing” in Firefox and Safari). Blocking our strictly necessary cookies will prevent certain functions of our website from working properly or at all. In addition to managing Google Analytics by managing its cookies, you can deactivate Google Analytics by using a browser plug-in found here: https://tools. google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?

8. Children

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and its rules (“COPPA”) requires us to inform parents and legal guardians about our practices for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information from children under the age of thirteen (13). In some countries, even higher age limits may apply. CAFO does not intend to collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen (13), or the otherwise applicable age limit if different in your country of location. If you are aware of a user under the age of thirteen (13) who has provided personal information through our Services, please contact us via the contact information in the section below entitled “13. Contacting Us”.

9. International Transfers of Personal Information

CAFO has its headquarters in the United States and information we collect from you in other countries will be transferred to and processed in the United States.  We endeavor to apply suitable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your personal information consistent with the practices described in this Privacy Notice.

10. Third Party Links

This Privacy Notice applies only to our Services. The Services may contain links to other websites not operated or controlled by us (“Third Party Sites”). The policies and practices we described here do not apply to the Third Party Sites. The links from the Services do not imply that we endorse or have reviewed the Third Party Sites. We suggest contacting those sites directly for information on their privacy policies.

11. Changes to This Privacy Notice

We reserve the right to change, modify, add or remove portions of this notice from time to time and in our sole discretion, but will alert you that changes have been made by indicating on this notice the date it was last updated.

myNetwork Hub Terms of Use

 Last Modified: April 20, 2020

In addition to The Christian Alliance for Orphans (“CAFO” or “we”) Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, you further agree to the following terms of use when you access the myNetwork Hub platform (“MNH”).

Below we have listed important legal terms that apply to anyone who visits our website or uses our services. These terms are necessary in order to protect both you and us, and to make our services possible and more enjoyable for everyone.

1. Introduction

1.1. Our Purpose

Our services offer our Users the ability to easily create an online presence, to manage and promote ministry, events, training resources and other services. As detailed below, we offer our Users numerous tools and features for sharing content, services, events and resources. The online and mobile websites and platforms created by Users are collectively referred to herein as (“User Platform(s)”).

1.2. Legal Agreement

These myNetwork Hub Terms (“MNH Terms”), together with the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy which specifically apply to some of our services and features on the www.cafo.org website(s) (“CAFO Website”, and collectively – the “CAFO Terms of Use”), all set forth the entire terms and conditions applicable to each visitor or user (“User” our “you”) of the CAFO Website, the CAFO mobile application (the “CAFO App”), the myNetwork Hub platform (“MNH”) and/or any other services, applications and features offered by us with respect thereto, except where we explicitly state otherwise (all services offered through the CAFO Website, the CAFO App, or the myNetwork Hub collectively – the “CAFO Services ” or “Services”).

These MNH Terms constitute a binding and enforceable legal contract between CAFO (“CAFO”, “us” or “we”) and you in relation to the use of any CAFO Services – so please read them carefully.

You may visit and/or use the myNetwork Hub platform only if you fully agree to the MNH Terms – and by using and/or registering to any of the MNH service, you signify and affirm your informed consent to these MNH Terms and any other CAFO Terms of Use applicable to your use of any CAFO Services. If you do not read, fully understand and agree to these MNH Terms, you must immediately leave the MNH website and avoid or discontinue all use of the MNH Services.

​By using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read our Privacy Policy available at (Privacy Policy) (“Privacy Policy”).

1.3 User Account

In order to access and use certain sections and features of the MNH Services, you must first register and create an account with CAFO (“User Account”).

If anyone other than yourself accesses your User account and/or any of your User Platforms’ settings, they may perform any actions available to you, make changes to your User Platform(s) and User account, and accept any legal terms available therein, make various representations and warranties and more – and all such activities will be deemed to have occurred on your behalf and in your name.

Therefore, we strongly encourage you to keep the log-in credentials of your User account confidential, and allow such access only to people you trust – as you will be solely and fully responsible for all activities that occur under your User account and/or User Platforms (including for any representations, warranties and undertakings made therein), whether or not specifically authorized by you, and for any damages, expenses or losses that may result from such activities.

You must provide accurate and complete information when registering your User account and using the MNH Services, to which you are the sole and exclusive rights holder. We strongly encourage you to provide your own (or your ministry’s) contact details, including your valid e-mail address, as we may use it to identify and determine the actual and true owner of the User account and/or User content (as defined below) submitted to us.

In case of a dispute on User account ownership, we reserve the right to determine ownership to a User account based on our reasonable judgment, whether or not an independent investigation has been conducted by us. However, if we cannot make such determination (as we may deem in our sole discretion), we reserve the right to avoid doing so and/or suspend a User account until the parties disputing such ownership, reach a resolution, without liability to you or to any other party. We may request documentation (e.g. government-issued ID, a business license) that may assist us in determining ownership. Among others, we may consider the principles set forth below.

1. CAFO will consider the owner of a User account, User Platform and/or User content created and/or uploaded to the relevant Service, as the person or entity who has access to the e-mail address then listed in CAFO records for such User account under which such User Platform or User content was created.
2. Notwithstanding the forgoing, CAFO shall have the right to determine the ownership of User content and/or a User website as it chooses, including by ignoring the indications set forth above, in event CAFO deems, at its sole discretion, that the situation justifies such determination, all based upon the factual situation as determined by CAFO.

2. Your Obligations

 2.1. You represent and warrant that:

1. you are at least eighteen (18) years of age and possess the legal authority, right and freedom to enter into the MNH Terms and to form a binding agreement, for yourself or on behalf of the ministry or entity committed by you to the MNH Terms;
2. you are not a resident of (or will use the MNH Services in) a country that the U.S. government has embargoed for use of the MNH Services, nor are you named on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or any other applicable trade sanctioning regulations;

CAFO Conferences: Registrant Terms

Introduction

Thank you for registering for this Christian Alliance for Orphans (“CAFO”) conference, retreat, event, or like gathering of people (individually refereed to herein as the “Conference”). Regardless of whether your registration is submitted by you or your proxy, the following Conferences Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply to you and your participation in any CAFO Conference. Depending on the type of conference, certain terms below may not apply. “Attendee” for purposes of these Terms will include all participants at the Conference, including Exhibitors and Attendees. By participating in this Conference, you agree to these Terms so please read them carefully. These Terms include and incorporate by reference CAFO’s Privacy Policy. 

This Conference is organized by CAFO, which reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to limit or deny access to any entity or individual. To be eligible to participate, you must be 18 years old or older.

Attendee Cancellation Policy

You can register now with the peace of mind that if cancellation is needed for any reason, a full refund will be available to you up until August 1st. Refund requested after August 1st or non-attendance will not be refunded.

Please remember that canceling your registration does not automatically cancel your hotel and travel arrangements. Attendees are responsible for canceling their own hotel and travel reservations.

Please note that some Conferences may have specific refund conditions which if applicable will be clearly stated in the FAQ section of that particular Conference registration web page and are incorporated herein by reference.

Force Majeure

After the cancellation cutoff date, payments made are not refundable for any reason, including, but not limited to, failure to use conference attendance credentials due to illness or due to any event beyond the reasonable control of the parties, such as an act of God, a health epidemic, natural disaster, travel-related problems, an act of terrorism, or other unforeseeable circumstances beyond the control of the CAFO against which it would have been unreasonable for the CAFO to take precautions and which CAFO could not have avoided even using its best efforts. 

Substitution and Badge Policy

 “No Shows” will be deemed a cancellation per the cancellation cutoff date in the Cancellation Policy listed above. Invitations that are part of a CAFO membership or invitational program are non-transferable and are not eligible for substitution.  Additional terms of your CAFO agreement may apply.  Please consult your CAFO representative with any questions.

Sharing of Attendee passes is not permitted at any time. Badges are issued to, can be picked up by, and used by only the Attendee named in the registration. Photo ID will be required for each Attendee when collecting a badge onsite. Badges must be worn at all times during the Conference.

A CAFO Conference badge allows an attendee entry to the overall Conference, but does not guarantee admission to every session, lounge, or meeting area. Admission is subject to venue capacity and other requirements.  For example, certain sessions may be restricted from vendor attendees.

Payment Terms

Submission of a registration online, by phone, email or fax, constitutes an official registration and intent to attend the Conference. Invoices are payable upon receipt.  Full payment must be received prior to the Conference in order to gain entry.

You agree that, in the unlikely event that CAFO cannot resolve your payment issue and you dispute the credit card charge, your electronic statement may be used as evidence that said charge is valid and just. If there are any issues with your credit card charge, please contact CAFO at info@cafo.org.

Before the Conference

Before Conferences with Exhibitors

To ensure all our attendees and exhibitors derive the greatest value from our Conferences, we may share a list of company names and job titles (but not name or contact details) of attendees with Exhibitors for their planning purposes before the conference. If you would prefer to opt-out of such sharing, please email info@cafo.org. Please note that if you choose to have your attendee badge scanned by an Exhibitor at the conference, we will share your name and contact details with that Exhibitor as disclosed in the Badge Scanning section below.

At the Conference

Session Availability

CAFO Conference Registration allows entry to specific defined conferences based on package type but cannot guarantee admission to every session. Session admission is subject to venue capacity and other criteria (for example CAFO member status, etc.). Building an agenda on the CAFO Conference web site or mobile application does not guarantee access to these sessions.

Guest Speakers & Workshop Leaders

CAFO Guest Speakers & Workshops Leaders sessions are central to the success of CAFO Conferences. In order to provide our attendees with a global platform for the exchange of ideas and insights, we invite key figures from various industries to share their personal perspectives concerning challenges and opportunities. Guest speakers & Workshop Leaders are not employees of CAFO and CAFO neither pre-reviews nor comments on the content of our guest speakers sessions. Guest Speaker & Workshop Leaders views and opinions are entirely their own and in no way reflect the views and opinions of CAFO.

Use of Multimedia at the Conference

In order to comply with global data privacy laws, CAFO imposes certain restrictions on the use of multimedia at its Conferences (i.e., photography, video, audio, online streaming and all future mediums). Please note that CAFO imposes different photography/streaming/recording and social media rules for Exhibitors and Attendees at the Conference.

Exhibitors and Attendees

CAFO prohibits the use of cameras and mobile recording devices at all Conference sessions & workshops, any area posted prohibiting media, and on the Exhibit Floor during exhibit hours by Attendees and Exhibitors. CAFO hires professional service providers (photo/video/audio/streaming) to document and showcase the entire Conference experience.

For Exhibitors

When a company contracts with CAFO to exhibit at a Conference, they are representing CAFO.  As such, we will allow them to photograph/stream/record their Conference experience and booth set-up, provided they comply with the sponsor agreement.  

For Attendees

CAFO leverages social media to post real-time Conferences photos and videos to its Social media feeds, and display select submissions from those feeds on screens throughout the venue. Attendees are encouraged to capture their Conference experiences in the permitted areas of the Conference venue (excluding Conference sessions, workshops, and posted area prohibiting media) and post their own social content from the Conference (text, photos, audio, video, streaming), provided it does not defame other Conference attendees or Exhibitors or infringe on copyrighted CAFO branding and content. CAFO will determine in its sole discretion which posted content will be displayed on the screens at the Conference venue.

By attending the Conference, you acknowledge and agree as follows: (a) CAFO may edit and use the footage it captures at CAFO Conferences for marketing and promotional activities and for any other lawful purpose in the ordinary course of its business; and (b) Due to the prevalence of mobile recording devices in today’s world, CAFO disclaims all liability for the capture of your image by Attendees (who are not under sponsorship contracts with CAFO) in any multimedia format at the Conference.

Session Speakers and Workshop Leaders

CAFO may use your image and other information related to you in promotional materials including video, audio, or print. You also permit the CAFO to record your entire workshop session and to broadcast and/or sell audio, video, transcripts, or derivative products thereof.  Recordings of each workshop session will be available for sale on-site unless the presenter requests otherwise.

Exhibitor Functions

At times, CAFO may contact you on behalf of an Exhibitor to invite you to a function such as an exclusive lunch or dinner.  To help Exhibitors plan for these functions, we share with them a list of attendee company names, job titles, and countries (but not name or contact details). You may opt-out of this sharing by emailing info@cafo.org.  You will also have the opportunity to decline an invitation to attend such functions. 

Conferences Services

CAFO provides tools and services that are designed to help attendees get the most value out of their Conference experience. These tools and services are designed to help attendees build a personal agenda, find and connect with others (ex: CAFO members, ministry leaders, conference attendees and exhibitors) before, during, and after the Conference. To ensure a positive experience is had by all, we require Attendees to adhere to the Conferences Code of Conduct (below).

Conference Navigator Website and Mobile Application

When building your agenda and setting up your Conference experience within the Conference Navigator tools (which may not be available for all conferences), CAFO may evaluate the content you access and the choices you make to provide you with recommendations and ensure the most effective ongoing service and support. CAFO will not share this information with any third party without your prior written consent.

Attendee List and Messaging

As a Conferences Attendee you may be entitled to opt-in to services meant to help you find and connect with others (Attendees and Exhibitors) before, during, and after the conference. Certain features within the Conference are not available to vendors and service providers.

Other Attendees can view the profile information you supply, but will not have access to your personal email address, or any other contact information about you, unless you choose to explicitly provide it to them in your online posts, messages, meeting invitations, or some other vehicle of your choice.
Your usage of these features is bound by our Conferences Code of Conduct (below).

You may use these presentations as well as session audio/video recordings where available solely for your own internal, non-commercial purposes. Unauthorized distribution (via sales, copying, posting on intranet/internet) is expressly forbidden. 

NOTE: Some of our Services are available on mobile devices. We encourage you to not to use such Services in a way that distracts you and prevents you from obeying traffic or safety laws.

Community Guidelines

Last updated, April 2, 2021

These Community Guidelines should not only help you understand how to act within the community but also help you understand what to expect from others in this space. 

We have one main guideline: Honor Others

In order to maintain a welcoming environment for every participant, please engage with others in a thoughtful and respectful manner.

Our Community Guidelines define a set of norms and common code of conduct for CAFO; they provide guidance on what is and is not allowed to make a welcoming space for everyone.

Our Community Guidelines apply to everyone and to everything on CAFO. We proactively enforce them using a mix of technology and human moderation before content gets reported to us. We also encourage our members to report any content they believe violates our Community Guidelines to info@cafo.org.

We will remove any content – including video, audio, livestream, images, comments, and text – that violates our Community Guidelines. Individuals are notified of our decisions and can appeal if they believe no violation has occurred. We will suspend or ban accounts and/or devices that are involved in severe or repeated violations; we will consider information available on other platforms and offline in these decisions. When warranted, we will report the accounts to relevant legal authorities.

We recognize that some content that would normally be removed per our Community Guidelines could be in the public or educational interest. Therefore, we may allow exceptions under certain circumstances, such as educational, documentary, scientific, or artistic content, and content in the public interest that is newsworthy or otherwise enables individual expression on topics of social importance.

In consultation with relevant stakeholders, we update our Community Guidelines from time to time to evolve alongside new behaviors and risks.

Violent extremism

We take a firm stance against enabling violence on or off CAFO. We do not allow people to use our platform to threaten or incite violence, or to promote dangerous individuals or organizations. When there is a threat to public safety or an account is used to promote or glorify off-platform violence, we may suspend or ban the account. When warranted, we will report threats to relevant legal authorities. To effectively protect our community, we may consider information available on other platforms and offline to identify violent and extremist individuals and organizations on our platform. If we find such individuals or organizations on CAFO, we will close their accounts.

Threats and incitement to violence

We consider incitement to violence as advocating for, directing, or encouraging other people to commit violence. We do not allow threats of violence or incitement to violence on our platform that may result in serious physical harm.

Do not post, upload, stream, or share:

• Statements of intent to inflict physical injuries on an individual or a group
• Statements or imagery that encourage others to commit or that advocate for physical violence
• Conditional or aspirational statements that encourage other people to commit violence
• Calls to bring weapons to a location with the intent to intimidate or threaten an individual or group with violence
• Instructions on how to make or use weapons with an intent to incite violence

Dangerous individuals and organizations

We do not allow individuals or organizations on our platform who promote or are engaged in violence. We remove such individuals and organizations, including mass murderers, serial killers and rapists, hate groups, criminal organizations, terrorist organizations, and other non-state armed groups that target civilians.

Terrorist organizations

Terrorists and terrorist organizations are non-state actors that threaten violence, use violence, and/or commit serious crimes (such as crimes against humanity) against civilian populations in pursuit of political, religious, ethnic, or ideological objectives.

Organized hate

Organized hate refers to those individuals and organizations who attack people based on protected characteristics, such as race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, caste, sexual orientation, sex, gender, gender identity, or immigration status. We consider attacks to include actions that incite violence or hatred, dehumanize individuals or groups, or embrace a hateful ideology.

Criminal organizations

Criminal organizations are transnational, national, or local groups that have engaged in serious crimes, including violent crimes (e.g., homicide, rape, robbery, assault), trafficking (e.g., human, organ, drug, weapons), kidnapping, financial crimes (e.g., extortion, blackmail, fraud, money laundering), or cybercrime.

Do not post, upload, stream, or share:

• Content that encourages participation in, or intends to recruit individuals to, dangerous organizations
• Content with names, symbols, logos, flags, slogans, uniforms, gestures, salutes, illustrations, portraits, songs, music, lyrics, or other objects meant to represent dangerous individuals and/or organizations

Hateful behavior

CAFO is a diverse and inclusive community that has no tolerance for discrimination. We do not permit content that contains hate speech or involves hateful behavior and we remove it from our platform. We suspend or ban accounts that engage in hate speech violations or which are associated with hate speech off the CAFO platform.

  • promoting or justifying exclusion, segregation, or discrimination against them
• Content that depicts harm inflicted upon an individual or a group on the basis of a protected attribute

Do not post, upload, stream, or share:

CAFO MORE THAN ENOUGH DATA EXCHANGE TERMS OF USE

last updated:  April 30, 2021

The Christian Alliance for Orphans (“CAFO”) has created the More Than Enough Data Exchange (the “Exchange”) in support of CAFO’s efforts to benefit the interests and well-being of children in foster care and other out-of-home placements in an effort to create ‘more than enough’ foster and kinship families for every child to have an ideal placement, adoptive families for every child waiting for adoption, help for biological families trying to stabilize and reunify, and wrap-around support from churches for foster, adoptive, and biological families (the “Purpose”).  The Exchange compiles county and other regional U.S. data on the numbers of children in out-of-home placements (“Foster Care”) in a single, searchable database that can be viewed on CAFO’s website at cafo.org and the More Than Enough website at MoreThanEnoughTogether.org as well as embedded into third party websites.
