How We Use Cookies
A “cookie” is a small text file sent from a website and stored in a user’s web browser while the user is browsing that website. When users visit the Razia’s Ray of Hope Foundation website, we use a single cookie, containing only a php session identification code—which does not collect or store personal information of any kind. This session ID is used in case a user wants to purchase something in our online store, in which case temporary variables tied to the session ID are used to keep track of items in the user’s shopping cart and personal information that is passed from screen to screen in the checkout process. The temporary variables are deleted as soon as you quit your browser, and the session ID cookie expires four hours after it is created. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, you can deny or accept the cookie feature using a simple procedure available in most browsers. If you block cookies, however, you may lose some website functionality.
Is My Credit Card Information Secure?
We use a variety of safeguards to protect the security of your credit card transactions. We use technologies and processes such as encryption, access controls, network firewalls, physical security and other measures. These measures make it extremely difficult for anyone to intercept the credit card information you send to us. When we work with other companies to process credit card transactions, those companies also use encryption and other security measures. You can make financial contributions online, by mail, or by calling 781-431-7894.
How We Use Your Information
The Razia’s Ray of Hope Foundation will not sell, trade, or share personal information about our financial donors with anyone else, nor will we send mailings to our financial donors on behalf of other organizations, unless a donor has given us specific permission to do so.
If you provide the Razia’s Ray of Hope Foundation with personal information when you visit our website, we may use the information in our programs and activities. We may enter your name into one of our databases so we can contact you to obtain your input, provide information about our programs and events, or request contributions.
On occasion, the Razia’s Ray of Hope Foundation may share information about you with service providers that assist us with our activities and programs. These service providers help us with functions such as fulfilling orders, managing data, and processing donations. In addition, we make disclosures as required by law.
