Online Payments

We collect personal information that donors voluntarily provide to us when they make a donation. The types of personal information we may collect include donor names, email addresses, billing addresses, phone numbers, and payment-related information (such as credit card or banking information). We use a third-party payment processor (currently Stripe) when a donation is made through our website, to securely process the payment information. We do not store or even have access to donor credit card or banking information. All payment transactions are encrypted and processed securely by Stripe in accordance with its Privacy Policy (Privacy Policy (stripe.com)). Other personal information may be stored indefinitely unless otherwise requested. We store names, email addresses, billing addresses, and phone numbers in a protected (encrypted) database. Information we receive may be used to process donations and to communicate with donors regarding their donations as well as our events. We do not sell, rent, or lease any personal information to third parties. Information is only shared with trusted third-party services, such as our website operator and payment processor.
