DONOR USER AND PRIVACY
Though we make every effort to preserve donor and 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 judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our web site. Institute uses an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. Neither the Institute nor these companies retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes. Any data collected during these transactions are processed through our secure server, and are treated as confidential information. The Institute will not trade, share, or sell a donor's personal information with anyone else, nor send donor mailings on behalf of other organizations.
This includes, but is not limited to, name, address, telephone number, credit card information for billing and subscription status. We retain this information offline in the Institute business office for seven years, after which the records are destroyed. For registration and participation in activities like contests and giveaways, user information will only be tracked for notification and award purposes.
