PRIVACY POLICY
YOUR PRIVACY IS OUR MANDATE
The Institute for Student Achievement (ISA) is firmly committed to
ensuring the privacy, confidentiality and security of those who visit
and make donations on our website. This notice explains our online
practices.
To ensure that credit card information is secure and electronic
donations are processed safely and efficiently, we use Blackbaud, Inc.,
the leading provider of software and services designed specifically for
nonprofit organizations. Your online gift and the information you
provide when making the gift are protected by the highest industry
standards as maintained by Blackbaud.
THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT:
This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the
Institute for Student Achievement website. When you can make a
donation, a request or register to receive information, the types of
personal information collected at these pages may include:
* First and Last Name
* Mailing Address
* Billing Address
* Email address
* Phone number
* Credit/Debit card Information
* Name of Employer
When making donations, all information is encrypted using SSL
encryption, an industry standard secure technology. The encryption is
designed to prevent the theft or interception of the information you
provide. SSL encryption is indicated on your browser by the display of
a lock or key on the browser status bar when you go to the secure site.
When requesting information or registering to receive ISA's newsletter,
accumulated information is held in confidence. ISA does not sell names,
addresses or email addresses or other personal information, nor does
ISA share this information with other companies or non-profits.
THE WAY WE USE INFORMATION:
Blackbaud provides the technology to ensure that your donation to the
Institute for Student Achievement is successful. Blackbaud and ISA do
not sell, trade or share your information with any entity other than
the vendor selected to process payment transactions, which has its own
privacy policy. We may use demographic data derived from aggregate
donor information such as the number of donors from a particular locale
or the number of donations above a certain giving level.
If you do not make a request or donation, or otherwise identify
yourself, we will have no personally identifiable information about
you. In this instance, we will only use aggregate information derived,
in part, from your use of our site.
Upon registration to the site, we may send you periodic e-mails on a
variety of topics. We may send you solicitations for donations or
invitations to special events. You may stop receiving e-mails at any
time by sending an e-mail to drubino@isa-ed.org.
ISA will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if
required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action
is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with
legal process served on ISA; (b) protect and defend the rights or
property of ISA, and (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the
personal safety of ISA customers, visitors to ISA's website or the
public.
SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION:
ISA strictly protects the security of your personal information and
honors your choices for its intended use. We carefully protect your
data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, or disclosure, alteration,
or destruction. Your personal information is never shared outside the
company without your permission, except under conditions explained
above. Inside the company, data is stored in password-controlled
servers with limited access. You also have a significant role in
protecting your information.
USE OF COOKIES:
ISA does not use cookies.
CHANGING OUR POLICY:
We will occasionally change this Privacy Policy as necessary to
maintain the highest protection for our users and to comply with a
changing environment. We recommend that you check the policy when you
visit our website to be sure you are aware of and understand our
current policy. If we make material changes to this policy or how we
will use or collect your personally identifiable information, we will
prominently post such changes prior to implementing the change. We will
not make retroactive changes in how we handle previously collected
personal information unless legally required to do so.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
