In addition, credit card information is stored temporarily on Authorize.net to allow for processing. Access to the data is strictly limited.
Types of information we collect and how it is used
The Foundation gathers personal information, such as first and last names, home addresses, email addresses and credit card numbers, when voluntarily submitted by you.
