Providing help and creating hope in Maine
We deeply value the trust our donors place in us and are committed to safeguarding your personal information.
We do not collect personally identifying information unless you voluntarily provide it. If you choose to share personal information through email or appeal forms, we use it solely to respond to your inquiries/requests. Your information may be forwarded to the appropriate staff member, but it will not be shared with any outside parties.
Our website collects non-identifying website usage information, such as Internet domain names, access date and times, and referral website addresses. This data helps us analyze website usage to improve our content and user experience but does not identify you or track personal information. It is strictly collected to measure the number of visitors on each section of our website.
We protect personal information gathered from our donors. Catholic Charities Maine processes donations in-house and will not sell, share, or trade donor names or personal information with any entity, nor send mailings on behalf of other organizations. This policy applies to all information received, both online and offline, and extends to all platforms and communications.
Access Restrictions
Only authorized staff members have access to donor management systems and have been trained to ethically handle sensitive data. This minimizes the risk of unauthorized access and ensures that your information is only available to those who need it to perform their duties. Our systems use stringent password policies and two-factor authentication for certain logins to further enhance the protection of your data.
Encryption
All our donation forms are secured with HTTPS, utilizing 128-bit encryption to ensure a secure connection, the authentication of our website, and safeguarding the privacy and integrity of exchanged data. Our website is secured with DigiCert Global Root G2 and GeoTrust TLS RSA CA G1 certifications, ensuring robust security and encryption.
Our Commitment to Our Donors
We are dedicated to maintaining these protections and continually reviewing our security measures to adapt to new threats and ensure the ongoing safety of your personal information. Your trust is our top priority, and we strive to meet and exceed industry standards to keep your data secure.
If you have any questions about the information here, or the practices of our website, please e-mail info@ccmaine.org.
