Privacy Policy

This website (our “Site”) is owned and operated by the Alliance for Children’s Rights (the “Alliance,” “us” or “we”). This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) is provided to explain our online information practices and the ways in which we collect and use your personally identifiable information, including your name, e-mail address, mailing address, and credit card information (“Personal Information”).

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is effective as of 2014 and may be subject to change from time to time.

Personal Information & Security

In addition to the non-Personal Information noted above that is automatically collected, on some pages, you may need to provide Personal Information, such as when you make a donation, join our email list, or wish to contact us. If you choose to provide Personal Information by donating, emailing us, or joining our email list, we will use the information for the purpose for which it was collected and for other Alliance related purposes we determine are appropriate. The Alliance will not sell, rent, trade, share or otherwise disclose your Personal Information to any third party for any purpose, nor send donor mailings on behalf of other organizations. This policy applies to all contributions whether they are made online or offline.

The security of your Personal Information is important to us. We use industry-accepted online safeguards and have security measures in place at our physical facilities to guard against the loss, misuse or alteration of your Personal Information collected by our Site. Certain sensitive Personal Information, such as that involving credit card transactions, is encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology through Blackbaud. By encrypting your sensitive data, SSL attempts to prevent anyone from reading your sensitive information as it travels across the internet. You should note, however, that no transmission of encrypted data is completely secure, and you should be aware of the risks before submitting sensitive information. We believe our Site uses measures that are commercially reasonable to secure your Personal Information, but we cannot guarantee that these measures will be sufficient to protect against all efforts to gain unauthorized access to the information.

Donations made to the Alliance on the Site are processed using a third-party payment system, Blackbaud, and our transactions are certified by GeoTrust. Donors’ credit card information is used to process the payment but is not stored by the Site. Please refer to the policies of Blackbaud and GeoTrust to understand their policies with respect to your Personal Information. If you are concerned about using your credit card to make a donation online, please feel free to call us at (213) 368-6010 and make your donation via phone.
