Security of Personal Information
ALS Adventure Challenge uses GiftTool, a third party merchant for all online credit card transactions and donations. GiftTool has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under their control. All customer information and records of transactions are stored in an encrypted form and extensive security measures are in use to prevent unauthorized access to their database. GiftTool utilizes industry standard SSL 128-bit encryption when accepting credit card information during the online checkout process. In addition, they utilize the same encryption standard when transferring credit card data to an external fulfillment system. In addition to our online security efforts, reasonable steps are taken to protect your personal data offline, as well. All of your information is restricted in the ALS Adventure Challenge office.
