Cookies

A “cookie” is a small piece of information which is sent to your browser and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies do not damage your computer. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. This enables you to decide if you want to accept it or not.

Currently, the Ascension Sacred Heart web site (of which the Ascension Sacred Heart Foundation web site is a part of) uses temporary or “session” cookies for tracking visitor traffic on the web site. These “session” cookies expire when your browser window is closed. In order for certain applications on Ascension Sacred Heart’s websites to function properly, if at all, it is necessary for your computer to accept cookies.  Information collected by cookies are not shared with anyone.

In regard to our Online Giving Application, Ascension Sacred Heart Foundation has partnered with GroundSpring.org to provide a secure application for making donations. Please refer to Groundspring.org’s privacy policy regarding its use of cookies: http://www.groundspring.org/privacypolicy.cfm

Links

This site contains links to other websites.  The privacy policy of each of these sites may be different from ours.  Ascension Sacred Heart Foundation is not responsible for the privacy policy of any website linked to or from this site.

Online Giving

Should you decide to make a donation, you will be asked to provide you name, contact information, and credit card billing information.  All of this information is encrypted using SSL, an industry standard secure technology.  This encryption is designed to prevent the theft or interception of the information you provide.  SSL encryption is indicated on your web browser by the display of a lock or key on the browser status bar.  Ascension Sacred Heart Foundation provides the technology to ensure that your donation is successful and secure.

Ascension Sacred Heart Foundation does not sell, trade, rent, or share your information with any entity other than Ascension Sacred Heart, Inc. and the vendor we have selected to process payment transactions, which has its own privacy policy.  We may use demographic data derived from aggregate donor information, such as number of donors from a particular locale or number of donations above a certain giving level.

Ascension Sacred Heart Foundation collects your e-mail address for the sole purpose of sending donation confirmations and will not disclose, sell, trade, rent, or otherwise reveal your e-mail address to any entity other than Ascension Sacred Heart Foundation and Ascension Sacred Heart, Inc. which has its own privacy policy.

If you request, Ascension Sacred Heart Foundation may use the contact information to send you additional information about Ascension Sacred Heart.  You may opt-out of receiving future mailings.  Our online surveys ask visitors for contact information (like their e-mail address).  The customer’s contact information is used to contact the visitor when necessary.  Again, users may opt-out of receiving future mailings.

In addition to utilizing SSL encryption for all transactions, Ascension Sacred Heart Foundation stores encrypted credit card numbers and passwords, as well as other donor information, on servers that are kept in a physically secure environment with strict policies that minimize staff access to the information contained therein.
