Parker Learning Gardens Privacy Policy
Updated October 15, 2020
We at Parker Learning Gardens strive to protect you, our visitors, from intrusions and breaches of privacy, both as a matter of principle and in accordance with law. This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect about you, and how we use it, store it and delete it. We will update this Policy as needed to stay accurate. For example, we may add services or change our retention procedures in a way that would require adjusting this Policy.
Your information. We collect and use information that can identify individuals only for managing donations and comments. We do not track individuals’ use of our site except as detailed below, and we do not use cookies to deliver our content.
Donations. We accept donations online. To do this we have partnered with Authorize.net, our payment gateway company (owned by Visa), a leading provider of gateway services since 1996. Through this interface, we have access to and collect donation and contact information for communications and for managing our necessary donor tax records. This consists of name, email, donation amount, billing address and optional contact information (such as phone number). We do not share this information with anyone outside our immediate organization, except as may be required by law. Donors are essential to our organization. We keep basic donor information in encrypted, password-protected digital and/or secured paper files. On our secure, encrypted server we receive only name and email, and these are purged periodically and will be deleted on request.
Payment card information and the transfer of donations is handled by Authorize.net. We do not see or collect card information. Authorize.net’s privacy policy can be found here.
