How do we protect your information?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you fill out a form on our website.

Our website uses the HTTPS protocol (SSL) which ensures all data exchanged between you and our website is encrypted. You can recognize an encrypted connection when the lock icon is displayed in your browser’s address bar.

Any personal information which may be collected is stored in our private database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential.

Personally identifiable information and/or credit card information which you submit is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our Payment Gateway provider’s database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. PayPal® is our current donation gateway.
