We offer various services to organizations where different information needs to be collected either from the organization or on behalf of the organization.

In order to use some of our services, a user must first complete the application form. When completing the application a user is required to give their contact information (such as name, address, and email address) and information about their organization (such as name of organization, Tax ID, and tax designation). This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest.

We request information from the user on our donation/application form. Here a user must provide contact information (like name, billing, and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer's orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.

Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site.
Usage of cookies in different sites and services:
• Corporate site- ClickandPledge.com: Cookies are used for site graphics to update with each visit. No personal information is saved.
• Payment system: Cookies used only if the donor chooses the Remember Me feature. The feature allows for the donor to simply skip the address or personal information (except credit card information) the next time the donor wishes to donate to an organization.
• Administrative System & Web Content Management System: Cookies are used only if the user selects the Remember-Me feature. The feature saves the UserID and OrgID for future logins. Only the password is required if the Remember-Me is chosen.
• Administrative System & Payment System: Session cookies are used to provide page-to-page interactions. Other uses include security checks and maintaining the login information during administrative sessions. Payment system also uses session cookies for passing information from one page to another. Remember me feature also uses the cookie to remember the visitor in future visits. Cookies allow the visitor information to be retrieved so name, address, email, phone number can be retrieved for future donations.

Security
This web site takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the web site, your information is protected both online and offline.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked, or open, when you are just 'surfing' .
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online in our Payment System used by various organization, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they leave their desk. When they return, they must reenter their password to regain access to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers' information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked cage.
If you have any questions about the security at our web site, you can send an email to Security@ClickandPledge.com
Supplementation of Information
We do not use any supplemental information and are purely relying on the information that you provide us for your transactions.
Site and Service Updates
We also send clients site and service announcement updates. Clients are not able to un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important information about the service. We communicate with the user to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account via email or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's personal data provided to us. This can be done at the member information page or by emailing our Customer Support at Support@ClickandPledge.com. All requests will be responded to within 48 hours.
Choice/Opt-out
We provide you the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes, when we ask for this information. For example, if you purchase a product/service but do not wish to receive any additional marketing material from us, you can indicate your preference on our order form.
If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each newsletter or communication or by emailing us at Support@ClickandPledge.com [We offer an opportunity to opt-out of certain communications on our [MEMBER INFORMATION PAGES], or you may contact us at 866.999.2542, Support@ClickandPledge.com or write to: ClickandPledge, 2200 Kraft Drive, Suite 1175, Blacksburg, Virginia 24060-6356 to opt-out.]
You will be notified when your personal information is collected by any third party that is not our agent/service provider, so you can make an informed choice as to whether or not to share your information with that party.
