Further, where you have consented, we may contact you by post, telephone, or via e-mail about the programmes to which you have previously supported or with which you have expressed an interest. Fields of Life, however, limits its communication to our supporters in order to avoid pestering or imposing with frequent communication.

If you change your mind about being contacted in the future, please let us know, and the matter will be promptly attended to in either of our Irish offices.

Fields of Life will gather data on Web site activity, such as how many people visit our Web site, the pages they visit and where they come from. Site visitorship data is collected on an aggregate, anonymous basis, which means no personal information is associated with this data.
Protection of Your Personal Information
If you make donations by credit card, your credit card details will not be stored on our servers:- they will be stored by our credit card payment provider PayPal on the basis of its own terms of use and privacy policy which can be accessed via the PayPal website.
Protection of Children's Privacy
At no time will children’s details (family, location, school, or personal details) be available to the public. In instances such as the Child Sponsorship programme, details of the child being sponsored will only be made available to the sponsor in question. Even in this instance, the child’s name, age, and school attended will be the only information supplied to the sponsor. Such details as the family’s address and telephone number will not be made forthcoming and is, in fact, kept securely on file only in Uganda. Conversely, at no time will Fields of Life release the sponsors contact details to the child, the child’s family, or the school to which the child attends. Indeed, it is recommended that all communication from the child to the sponsor (and vice versa) be managed through the Fields of Life Northern Ireland or Dublin offices. All correspondence that is forwarded to children from sponsors will have addresses removed.
