receipt of the donation. All this information is encrypted using SSL,
industry standard secure technology. This encryption is designed to prevent
theft or interception of the information.
Donating online through PledgePage will not open your credit card information
to dissemination. PledgePage will not disclose, sell, trade, rent, or
otherwise reveal donors' credit card information to third parties, including
advertisers or marketers, without first receiving the donors' consent. This
information is only used to process the donation.
