What security measures does charitybuzz use to keep my personal and credit card information safe?
Safeguarding your personal information is of the utmost importance to us, which is why we adhere to the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), which is a set of requirements around data security, that covers areas like security policies and their enforcement, system and network architecture, software design, and monitoring and testing. To that end, all transactions are conducted via a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encrypted channel. Your credit card information and other personally identifiable information (PII) is never sent in plain unencrypted text; in addition, transaction information is stored in a secure and encrypted manner. From a physical security standpoint, our servers are maintained in a secured, limited-access hosting center. In order for us to contact you, our employees do have access to your name and contact information. However, no employee has access to your credit card information.
