The Sepsis Alliance is committed to preserving your privacy and safeguarding your credit card and other sensitive information. The following statement describes the general information-gathering and usage practices of our web site and donation service.
Collecting personal information through our Paypal, our donation administration
partner:
When you make a donation to the Sepsis Alliance, the Sepsis Alliance collects a variety of personal information about you in order to properly process your donation. This personal information may include: name, address, phone, email address, your credit card information, "acknowledgement" or "in memory of" information, and donation amount. The Sepsis Alliance does not share this information with other organizations.
It is unlikely that the Sepsis Alliance will need to contact you but we reserve the right in the event that we need to verify your personal information. If you contact us by email or phone, we may ask you to verify your personal information so that we may respond to your inquiry.
When making a donation to the Sepsis Alliance, donors may be asked to check a box to "receive email updates" from the Sepsis Alliance. The Sepsis Alliance may choose to send email updates to the donor.
We collect credit card information from our donors so that we can process donations and monthly fees. We maintain this information on Paypal for our internal processes only. We also use Paypal to process donations and monthly fees.
If a donor selects "I want to make a recurring donation", you will be registering to make a credit card donation every month. After you complete this initial donation, future donations will be made automatically. You will receive an email receipt from the Sepsis Alliance for each recurring donation. Of course, you will also be able to cancel your recurring donation at any point in the future.
Links:
The Sepsis Alliance provides links to other web sites as a resource for donors who are interested in additional information. We encourage you to view their privacy policies as well. Any information you share with these web sites is subject to their policies and practices and is independent of the Sepsis Alliance
Cookies:
The Sepsis Alliance may use "session cookies" while a visitor is making a donation. "Cookies" are bits of information that are stored by your browser on your hard drive. We use "session cookies" so that we can properly verify a donor's identity as they move from one donation page to the next. These session cookies are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Web log files:
Like most web site administrators we use log files that record information such as Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and page navigation. We gather this information to track web site visitor movement in the aggregate, and to gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. Our goal in gathering this information is to learn how our customers and the public are using our site. IP addresses that are recorded by our log files are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Protecting personal information:
The Sepsis Alliance takes every precaution to protect donor information. When donors submit sensitive information via our web site, their information is protected both online and off-line.
All of our donor information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. All employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.
