When our registration/order form asks users to enter

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

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.

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
