How we protect your information?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you submit an application or make a donation. We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our Payment gateway providers database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential.

After a donation, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) will not be kept on file for more than 60 days. We may occasionally use cookies Cookies are small files that a website or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if the settings allow) to enable the site or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.

We use cookies to help us understand and save your preferences for future visits, track the results of advertisements and compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may utilize third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our organization.

If you prefer, you can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies via your browser settings. Like most websites, if you turn your cookies off, some of our services may not function properly. However, you can still place orders over the telephone or by contacting customer service.

We do not disclose any information to outside parties

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in processing your application, operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect others' or our rights, property or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
