Privacy Policy

Your right to privacy is very important to us. We recognize that providing us with personal information is an act of trust. Therefore, we have created a privacy policy to protect your personal information. This policy covers all donor contact information maintained by ISGAP, as well as websites owned or operated by ISGAP. We encourage you to take the time to read this privacy policy. Questions regarding this statement should be directed to ISGAP by sending e-mail to Contact@ISGAP.org. Please reference this privacy policy in your subject line. Following is ISGAP's Donor and Web Visitor privacy policy.

Your Personal Information

Personal Information Collected via the Web, Direct Response Envelopes, and Any Other Manner
In most cases, when making a donation to ISGAP via the mail, you provide contact information such as name, address, telephone number or email address. It is the strict policy of ISGAP to never publish, share or sell this information to any other organization. When you visit our web sites and access information, you remain anonymous. At present, we do not require you to register or provide personal information to us to view our web site. However, on those occasions when we will ask for additional information, such as when you make an online donation, the information, as described above, will remain completely anonymous and will not be shared under any circumstances.

What Information We Collect and How We Use That Information
Our donation and registration forms ask users to provide contact information that may include name, e-mail address, format preference (HTML vs. plain text), physical address, and similar information. Typically only minimal and necessary information is required. All other information offered is optional. We do this to better understand and respond to your needs, and provide you with information that may be valuable to you. Unless specifically requested by the visitor for convenience, we do not store sensitive information, such as social security or credit card numbers. We will never pass the information you provide to ISGAP on to any other organization.

Internet Protocol Address
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. We collect an IP address from all visitors to our web site. We use IP addresses to help diagnose problems with our server, administer our web site, analyze usage trends, track users' interactions with the web site, and gather broad demographic information.

Links to Third-Party Web Sites
We provide links to third party web sites existing outside of ISGAP. Since we do not control the content or functionality of these web sites, we encourage you to review the privacy policies posted on these third-party web sites. Any link from http://ISGAP.org to a third-party web site does not denote an affiliation with the web site or an endorsement of its viewpoint(s) or mission(s).

Security of Your Information
All sensitive information (such as your credit card information) provided to ISGAP is transmitted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. SSL is a proven coding system that lets your browser automatically encrypt, or scramble, data before you send it to us. We also protect account information by placing it on a secure portion of our web site that is only accessible by certain qualified employees of ISGAP. Please note: Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can ever be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information to the fullest extent, we cannot ensure or completely guarantee the security of such information.

Your Credit Card Information
When you enter your credit card information into a form on http://ISGAP.org. your credit card information is encrypted and transmitted securely to ISGAP. ISGAP does not store your credit card information on a permanent basis; your credit card information is only used for the duration of the transaction and is then deleted from our records. You can also call our offices between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., EST at (203) 902-1429. ISGAP welcomes comments and questions on this policy. We are dedicated to protecting your personal information, and will make every reasonable effort to keep that information secure. If you have any questions, please contact us at Contact@ISGAP.org or call our offices at (203) 902-1429. Any information that you provide to us via the web, e-mail, fax, or mail is covered by this policy.

Privacy Policy Updates
ISGAP may occasionally update this policy so that it evolves with the rapidly changing technologies employed on the Internet. All revisions will be posted to this web site and any revised Privacy Policy will apply only to data collected subsequent to its effective date.
