CKSCP Privacy Procedures

We Respect Your Privacy

The Cincinnati-Kharkiv Sister City Partnership (CKSCP) is committed to respecting the privacy of its financial and in-kind donors, whether the donation is made online, by mail, or any other method. When you make a financial or in-kind donation, you provide your name and contact information. Financial donors provide standard payment information including, in many circumstances, credit card data. We protect your information in a variety of ways, as described below.

Many donors use credit cards for donations. When we work with other companies to process credit card transactions, those companies use encryption and other appropriate security measures.  They protect the security of credit card transactions using a number of measures such as encryption, access controls, network firewalls, and physical security. These measures make it extremely difficult for anyone to intercept the credit card information you share.

We will not sell, share or trade our donors’ personally identifiable information with any other entity.  In addition, we will not send mailings to our donors on behalf of other organizations, unless a donor has given us specific permission to do so.  CKSCP has vendors that assist with processing and managing donations and donor data. We give these vendors access to donor data. Our vendors are bound by strict confidentiality rules and are permitted to use donor data only to support CKSCP operations.

We use this data to help us engage with people who may be interested in participating in CKSCP activities or contributing to the CKSCP mission.

How We Secure Data

We use a variety of security measures to protect your data. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to help prevent unauthorized access to and improper use of personally identifiable information.

We protect the security of credit card transactions using a number of measures such as encryption, access controls, network firewalls, and physical security. 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 appropriate security measures.

No website or electronic data can ever be completely secure, but we are always working to maintain up-to-date and appropriate security mechanisms.
