Gabriella Axelrad Education Foundation (GAEF) takes privacy
and data protection issues
seriously. We have designed this Privacy Policy to explain how we handle personally
identifiable information collected for the purpose of site statistics and processing online
contributions.
We may revise this policy and these changes will be posted
here. If you have questions
about our privacy practices please contact us at info@gabri.org.
Scope of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy covers GAEF's treatment of personally
identifiable information collected
from contributors who use GAEF's online giving credit card transaction process. GAEF
shares the minimum required information with our online credit card authorization provider
and the provider of our credit card merchant account for the purpose of ensuring that your
credit card information is correct and to process your secure, encrypted transaction.
Information Collection and Use
GAEF collects personally identifiable information when
you process an online contribution
using our online giving credit card transaction page.
We ask for your contact information (such as your name,
street address and email
address), as well as certain information pertaining to you or your business, along with
credit card number and other credit card information necessary to complete
the transaction. However, after completing the transaction,
our online system retains only
the last four digits of your credit card number for the purpose of verifying your identity
should we need to discuss your contribution or should you request information regarding
the credit card you used.
In the course of processing a contribution transaction,
we typically receive a transaction
number and verification of the information you provide that relates to authorizing the
charge to your credit card.
Personally identifiable information is used to process
payment transactions, for contact
information to acknowledge contributions, for tax purposes and to add to our donor
database in relation to our future solicitations, but for no other purposes. Except as
required by law, we do not share our donor database with any other organizations.
Information Security
Information security is critical to our business.
We work to protect the security of your
personally identifiable information during transmission by using Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
technology encryption. To learn more about SSL, go to:
http://webopedia.internet.com/TERM/S/SSL.html. The number of employees involved in the
management of the data center that have access to this data is limited. We employ
security technologies to prevent our computers from being accessed by unauthorized
persons.
It is important for you to protect against unauthorized
access to your data and to your
computer. Be sure to close your browser window after successful completion of online
activity. Follow any additional security precautions that have been recommended
regarding your computer configuration.
GAEF is located in the United States. Any information that
you provide from outside the
United States will be transferred to the United States. By providing personal information to
us, you are consenting to its storage and use as described herein.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
GAEF reserves the right to modify or amend this Privacy
Policy at any time and for any
reason. If there are material changes to this statement or in how GAEF will use personally
identifiable information, GAEF will post these changes on this page.
