We recognize that visitors to our site may be concerned about the information they provide to us, and how we treat that information. This Privacy Policy addresses those concerns.

DROPS OF GRACE appreciates and takes very seriously the trust that you place in us by providing this most personal information to us. By voluntarily submitting personal information to DROPS OF GRACE, you agree that DROPS OF GRACE may use that information to maintain contact with you, solicit contributions from you and provide you with information about DROPS OF GRACE and its programs and initiatives.

How Information is Used.
DROPS OF GRACE uses your information to understand your needs and provide you with better service. Specifically, we use your information to communicate with you, update you on our work, help you complete a transaction, and overall personalize your DROPS OF GRACE experience. Credit card numbers are used only for donation or payment processing and are not retained for other purposes. We use the comments you offer to provide you with information requested, and we take seriously each recommendation as to how we might improve communication.
No Sharing of Personal Information. DROPS OF GRACE will not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to other organizations. We assure you that the identity of all who contact us through our websites will be kept confidential. Use of personal information will be limited to the internal purposes of DROPS OF GRACE and only to further the program activities and purposes of DROPS OF GRACE. As a note, DROPS OF GRACE does, from time to time, hire third party vendors to assist it in sending correspondence to those on our mailing lists (regular mail and e-mail) and processing credit card transactions. Every vendor engaged by DROPS OF GRACE for this purpose is required to keep confidential and protect your personal information. DROPS OF GRACE may share personal information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of DROPS OF GRACE when we have your consent to do so. Please note that whenever you opt-in to receive communications or services from a third party, your information may be subject to the third party’s privacy policy. If you later decide that you do not want that third party to use your information, you will need to contact the third party directly, as we have no control over how third parties use information.

DROPS OF GRACE is committed to ensuring the security of your personal information. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the proper use of information, we have established and implemented appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

Once we receive your credit card information, it is accessible only to a small number of trusted DROPS OF GRACE staff who have been specially trained in processing this information.
