We work hard to make sure
your contribution is safe and secure. We use the leading technologies and
practices in the e-commerce industry to protect your personal information.
- We use a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), the industry-standard for sending
encrypted information
- We encrypt all of your personal information and route it through our firewall
- We will not share your password with anyone or ask you for it
How do you protect my personal
information? When you make
donations or access your "Giving Portfolio" as a donor or access your
nonprofit organization's information as an authorized representative, you do so
using our secure server. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to
encrypt all information that you input before it is sent. In addition, we
require the use of user names and passwords, where appropriate, and store data
behind a secure firewall.
Can anyone access my personal
information? For those areas
of our web site where you are allowed to access your personal information, we
require a user name and password to authenticate your identity before you can
enter those areas. We ask you to choose an password of no less than four
characters in length.
Will my personal information get
"intercepted" when it is being sent to you over the web? All personally
identifiable information you send us while you are on our secure server is
encrypted, meaning that it is transformed into unrecognizable characters until
we decrypt it when it reaches us. All the data you send to us during a secure
session is sent via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), the industry-standard for
sending encrypted information. You can tell if you are on our secure server in
two ways: a key or closed lock will be visible in the lower portion of your
browser, or "https" will appear in either the address portion of your
browser or in the URL of a selected hyperlink. For greater protection of your
data, we recommend that you use a web-browser that supports 128-bit encryption.
How safe it my personal information on
your servers & network? All incoming
encrypted information is routed through our firewall, which serves as the
gatekeeper for our system. Only data containing the correct authorization is
permitted past the firewall. Attempts to pass the firewall are constantly
monitored for suspicious activity.
Password Protection Do not share your
password with anyone. Other than for login or sign-on purposes, we will never
ask you for your password. If you ever receive such a request from someone
claiming to be us, do not give them your password and contact us immediately.
The only one who needs to know yourpassword is you! If you forget your
password, email us atinfo@OnlineGiving.com.
If you have any questions
