use the information we collect about you on our Web site to process
your donations, respond to information requests and create a better
experience for our Web site users. Please read the following to learn
more about our privacy policy.
What information do we collect?
When you make a donation to Alpaca Research Foundation, we ask for
personally identifiable information, including your name, mailing
address, phone number, e-mail address, credit card number and expiration date, so we can process your donation. For certain types of gifts,
such as Veterinary Memorials and Gifts in Tribute, we also may ask
for personal information regarding persons you are honoring so that
we may inform them of the generous gift made in their name.
If you send us e-mail, we may collect and store such information.
We use the information to reply to your e-mail communication.
How do we protect customer information?
In order to locate additional supporters for Alpaca Research Foundation, we may occasionally trade names with other non-profit organizations
to lower fund-raising costs. Our friends are always given the option
to opt out if you do not wish to have your name or postal address
exchanged. To opt out, simply check the appropriate box on the form
you are using.
Alpaca Research Foundation does not use or disclose sensitive personal
information, such as race, religion or political affiliations. We also
do not use your information for future solicitations.
Alpaca Research Foundation may disclose your personal information with
your express approval or if legally required to do so by a qualified
government entity through, for example, subpoena, search warrant or
other legal process. Under these circumstances, disclosure may take
place without your consent.
We limit access to personal information about you to our employees
and agents who we believe need to use your information to provide services to you or in order to do their jobs for Alpaca Research Foundation.
We take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information
through physical, electronic and procedural safeguards.
When you fill out a donation form, your information goes through a
server using secure socket layer (SSL) software to encrypt all information you input before it is sent to us.
