Financial Transactions
To process a charitable contribution or product purchase, it is necessary for Save the Manatee Club to gather the donor or visitor’s name, email address, mailing address, telephone, and payment information (e.g. credit card number and billing address). This data is used to verify identity and execute the financial transaction. Additionally, phone number and email address information may be used to contact donors or visitors if there is a problem with the transaction. We use cookies to store donor/visitor preferences and to record session information, such as items that they add to their shopping cart when making donations or purchasing manatee gift items.
Save the Manatee Club may use service providers (such as merchant banks) for the express purpose of conducting financial transactions. Personal information is kept private and secure, and member information is not sold, rented, or traded to third parties. It is important to note that credit card numbers are used only at the time of the transaction and are not stored following the conclusion of the transaction unless the visitor elects to store information for future transactions. For transactions that recur, credit card and personal information are stored in an encrypted format.
