requires you to provide contact, billing, and financial information. This
information is transmitted to your credit card company to authorize your
purchase. At certain times we may offer financing options with or without third
party participation. If you use a financing option, information provided by you

any information to these third party sites that will allow them to personally
identify you and will never share your email address with any 3rd party. The

SSL Data Encryption
Our ALFC.com website is registered with site identification authorities to
enable your browser to confirm our security identity before any transmission is
sent. With this technology, the identity of our site is automatically confirmed
behind the scenes prior to the transmission of any customer information
requested to complete an online order and ensures that your data reaches your
intended target or your browser notifies you (prior to your sending any personal
information) that the potential receiving site looks suspicious and should be
avoided. If you are using a security-enabled browser (such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer version 2.1 or greater, or Netscape Navigator version 2.0 or greater),
the information you send us regarding your purchase is encrypted, making it
extremely difficult to read even if it is wrongly intercepted. At Abundant
Living Faith Center, we utilize industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
technology to allow for the encryption of: potentially sensitive information
such as your name and address and other critically sensitive information like
your credit card number.
