ACT Donor Privacy Policy

ACT will take all appropriate steps to keep your personal information confidential. Personal information is defined as your name, street address, e-mail address, billing information, credit card number, and expiration date and any other personally identifying information you may provide. Those steps include limiting access to client information databases and communicating this policy statement to all of ACT’s employees. ACT will not sell or share our donor’s personal information to anyone. We may communicate with our donors via e-mail or other online delivery devices only if the donor agrees to receive those communications. Donors who believe they are receiving our communications in error or no longer want to receive them, should inform us at development@dev.acttheatre.org, and we will promptly remove those names from our mailing lists.

A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. If you have set your browser to reject cookies, you can still use the Web site, but you may need to re-enter information that we would normally obtain from the cookie. You can also set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies. If you do, you will receive a warning message each time the Web site attempts to place a cookie on your hard drive.

ACT may use your financial information, including your billing information and credit card number, to bill you for your donation made through the Web site or by mail. By making a donation on the Web site or by mail, you consent to our providing your financial information to our service providers and to such third parties as we determine are necessary to process your transactions, as well as to your credit card issuer for its purposes. Third parties receiving your financial information may include credit card companies and banking institutions used to process the transaction. By submitting your financial information, you are deemed to have authorized such third parties to use such financial information in accordance with our contractual arrangements with them, and in accordance with their own privacy policies, over which we have no control.

ACT currently uses the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to safeguard your information, including your credit card number, during online transactions. You can tell you are using the Secure Socket Layer encryption when a gold or blue padlock appears in the corner of your browser. In the unlikely event that we ever do suspect a donor’s credit card number has been intercepted, we will immediately notify the donor. If you’re not comfortable sending your credit card information online, please call ACT at 206.292.7660 x1300 to speak to our Development Coordinator.
