Financial information is used to bill visitors for their donations.

Security of Your Information

All sensitive information (such as your credit card information) provided to the Northern Jaguar Project or our trusted banking agent, Authorize.NET, is transmitted using industry accepted Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can ever be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information to the fullest extent, we cannot ensure or completely guarantee the security of such information.

Internet Cookies

What are "Cookies"?

Cookies are small files sent from a web server to your computer through your browser program. There are two types of cookies: non-persistent and persistent cookies.

A non-persistent cookie enables a web site to temporarily keep information on your computer as you travel from one page to another. These cookies are automatically deleted from your machine when you close your browser. Because these cookies are necessary to provide some functions, failure to allow such cookies may make some of the functions on a web site unavailable to you.

A persistent cookie is kept even when you close your browser. You can manually delete these cookies using commands specific to your browser and computer system. These cookies store information that would generally not change from session to session. They also contain information that would need to be reentered by you each time you visit the web site. For example, a common use of persistent cookies is to allow a registered web site visitor to enter the web site without having to specify their username and password.

Our Use of Cookies

Northern Jaguar Project websites do not use cookies. However, like most websites, we may at some point in the future place a cookie in the browser cache of a visitor's computer to allow us to personalize the site to your taste and provide the best web experience possible.

Learn more about cookies.

Always includes the Northern Jaguar Project's physical address within the body of all our email messages:

Privacy Policy Updates

The Northern Jaguar Project may occasionally update this policy so that it evolves with the rapidly changing technologies employed on the internet. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will prominently post those changes on this page so our visitors are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. All revisions will be posted to this web site and any revised Privacy Policy will apply only to data collected subsequent to its effective date.
