We do not collect Credit/Debit Card information. We use the payment service PayPal, which collects the credit/debit card information, in order for use to collect any donations and/or payments.
In addition, we collect information using Text Rocket. The service collects name and phone number in which returns a text marketing campaign through Twilio to the subscriber. All web communication out of Text Rocket is encrypted and secure.
How We Deal With Minors
We advertise and communicate in social networking with minors 13 and older. All minors subscribing to Voices For Virtue campaigns like #virtuestrong are encouraged to obtain consent of their parent or legal guardian. In addition, we do not sell or ask for donations from minors without again recommending they have the consent of their parent or legal guardian. All information collected on minors is never sold or given away.
How We Use Information
We collect aggregate information for internal, marketing and research use only; we do not sell or rent your personal information to any individual, organization, company, government entity, or the public.
We use the information you provide when conducting a transaction to complete that transaction only. We do not share this information with outside parties.
We use email addresses and cell numbers to: provide you with educational materials and updates.
We never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. All Voices For Virtue messaging can be stopped easily. For example, to stop cell texting simply reply “STOP.”
