firm commitment to privacy. MyChurchDonations.com, will consider the data we collect
through this Website as private confidential information, and we
will keep it private and confidential. The following discloses our information
gathering and dissemination practices for this website:
All the
information that we collect from each church is intentionally
submitted by the representatives of the church. We do not
covertly collect information off of the churches computer.
We
use the information we collect to setup church accounts, to
process the charges and payments submitted, to contact a church if there is a
problem, and notify the churches if there is a change in our
procedures or services. We ask for the minimum amount of
information we need to efficiently and cost effectively:
- Process
the charges submitted.
- Deposit the funds directly into the
church’s bank account.
- Make timely contact with a
church if the cardholder disputes
the charges.
- Fulfill the legal and card associations' requirements of returning
the funds if a disputed charge is not resolved. This is called a charge back.
If the disputed funds have been deposited into the church's
account, we will withdraw funds from the account to cover the charge
back expenses.
- Debit the church’s account
for the annual membership fee.
We may also use the information we collect to occasionally notify
churches about special offers. If a church would rather not
receive this information, that preference can be indicated on the Update
Membership page.
MyChurchDonations.com
does not sell, trade, or rent the information we collect to
others. MyChurchDonations.com

transactions, traffic patterns, and related site information to
reputable third-party vendors, but these statistics will include
no personally identifying information.
Security
We
use a secure Web server for the handling of all credit card data
and membership information. The secure server (SSL) encrypts or
converts the data into unreadable code, which allows users to
enter private information and credit card data safely. Our
server offers the 128-bit encryption. Our Website is hosted by a
company that maintains and protects the server with the proper
firewalls and industry standard security measures which makes clandestine entry by a hacker nearly
impossible. We use VeriSign, a major
commercial credit card processor and security company to handle
the verification, authorization and processing of credit card
charges.
All of the membership,
and credit card data we collect is protected against
unauthorized access, is stored in a protected and encrypted
database. No complete credit card numbers are stored on the
Website or in our database. Once a charge is submitted we no
longer have access to the complete card number. A Username and Password are required for access to the
protected area where members are able to view and make changes
to their membership data.
