YOUR INFORMATION

The Information We Collect

Grateful Giving does not automatically collect your personally identifiable information when you visit our website. We do recognize the internet service provider of visitors, as well as the domain name or IP address of the server from where you are visiting. This information is used to analyse and predict site traffic. The data we collect are totals of those visiting from a domain, not information on individual users. We cannot recognise the personally identifiable data—such as names, postal addresses, e-mail addresses, contact information, credit card information or other information—about our visitors that would allow us to identify the particular visitors to our website. You do not have to provide any personal information on our website unless you choose to do so. Grateful Giving only gathers personal information—such as your name, postal and e-mail address, contact information, credit card information or other information— when you voluntarily submit it in an online form. If you make a donation online, personal information will be collected from you in order to process that donation.

How We Use Information

Grateful Giving is the sole owner of any information collected on this site. Grateful Giving does not sell personal information about its website users. Grateful Giving states unambiguously that (a) it will not sell, trade and share a donor’s personal information with anyone else, nor send donor mailings on behalf of other organizations; or (b) it will only share personal information once the donor has given it permission to do so. The personal information you provide us when using our websites—such as your name, postal and e-mail address, contact information, credit card information, or other information—will be kept strictly confidential and used to support your customer relationship with Grateful Giving, as well as to notify you of updated information.

Personal Information and Credit Card Security

Grateful Giving respect and supports for the safety and security of your transaction, and we take every precaution to protect your information. Donations made on our website are secure to the fullest extent possible. We use high-grade, 128-bit encryption and the “https” security protocol through Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to communicate with your browser software. SSL protects information as it is transferred through the Internet. This method is the industry-standard security protocol, which makes it extremely difficult for anyone else to intercept the credit card information you send to us. Companies we work with to process credit card transactions also use high-grade encryption and security protocols. You can recognize secure website pages by checking for the secure symbol at the bottom of your browser screen. For most browsers, this symbol is either a lock or a key. When the lock symbol appears to be locked, the page is secure. When it appears to be unlocked, the page is insecure. Additionally, all of the transactional data we collect from users is protected against unauthorized access with the use of digital certificates. Furthermore, this site has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.

Note to Parents and Minors

Grateful Giving is concerned about the protection of online privacy for all our website users. We are particularly respectful of the privacy of our young users. We encourage parents to monitor their children’s use of the Internet and to help us protect their privacy by instructing them never to provide personal information on this website or any other without permission. We will never attempt to extract unnecessary information from you, regardless of age. Grateful Giving welcomes children to learn more about our organization and participate in our volunteering opportunities. However, we encourage this to be done only with their parent’s knowledge and supervision. Grateful Giving does not knowingly solicit data from children, nor do we knowingly market to children.
