Impact NW takes every precaution to protect our donors’ information. When donors submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline. We use high grade encryption and the https security protocol to communicate with your browser software. This method is the industry standard security protocol, which makes it extremely difficult for anyone else to intercept the credit card information you send to us. Companies we work with to process credit card transactions also use high grade encryption and security protocols. We are committed to the protection and privacy of all of our donors, and it is the policy of Impact NW to continually enhance our fraud protection systems and our other processes to fight identity theft.
