Mary’s Pence is committed to maintaining the privacy and security of donor information. All donor data is stored in a secure database that utilizes industry-standard security measures like end-to-end data encryption, access controls, network firewalls, and physical security. These measures make it extremely difficult for anyone to intercept credit card information. When we work with other companies to process credit card transactions, those companies also use encryption and other appropriate security measures. Access to this data is restricted to employees on a need-to-know basis. Credit card and financial information is safeguarded on a secure, password-protected server, retained only for the necessary duration, and accessible exclusively by the bookkeeper and Executive Director.
In support of our mission, Mary’s Pence periodically engages in one-time list exchanges, sharing donor names and addresses with organizations that align with our values. Donors who wish to exclude their information from such exchanges may opt-out by contacting us at [email protected] or by indicating their preference when making a donation online or by mail.
