Click & Pledge provides hosting services for nonprofit web sites. Information collected on these sites is the property of the organization and is not shared by Click & Pledge with any third party. Any questions regarding the PII information collected on these sites should be addressed to the organization directly through the contact form provided on the respective site.

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

We do not use any supplemental information and are purely relying on the information that you provide us for your transactions.

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.

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 delete 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.

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.

Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judiciary proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Web site.

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email and/or through a notice posted on our Web site. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner.
