Greenhope Services for Women uses its best efforts to respect the privacy of its online visitors. At our site, we do not collect personally identifiable information such as names, addresses, zip/postal codes, and e-mail addresses, from individuals unless they provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly. For example, personally identifiable information would be collected in order to respond to a request from you about agency services, pertinent information about programs, services and fundraising events, volunteering, or about making a donation to Greenhope Services for Women online. In such instances, the information collected is used solely by Greenhope Services for Women or its agents solely for the purposes for which they were voluntarily and knowingly provided.

Keeping user personal information secure is a top priority for us. Personal information is private and confidential; accordingly, the information provided is stored in a secure location and is accessible only by designated employees, trained in the proper handling of customer information.

Financial Data Security
Donation, volunteer and admission forms that collect contact, personal, and financial information (such as a credit card number) are offered over SSL that encrypts the data for delivery to our contractor's server, and all financial data is stored or transmitted using appropriate security measures.

Before entering your financial information, you will be transferred to a secure server to ensure that your transaction is secure. This ensures that your information is encrypted and cannot be read by others when you initiate your order. We ask for any or all of the following: name, address, phone number, e-mail address, so that we can ensure that you receive the service or item you request.

Note to donors on Our Privacy Policy
Greenhope Services for Women welcomes its donors to learn more about the organization and, where appropriate, find opportunities to serve their communities through participation as a volunteer.

Is Credit Card Information Secure?
Greenhope Services for Women cares about the safety and security of its donors' transaction. Greenhope Services for Women works with Industry leading Verisign to ensure that credit transactions are processed in a secure https:// environment and that this information is not passed or processed through any non-secure means. This method is the industry standard security protocol, which makes it extremely difficult for anyone else to intercept the credit card information you send to us. Companies we work with to process credit card transactions also use high grade encryption and security protocols. Contributions may also be made by mailing a check to:

User Tracking
Our servers collect and aggregate user information site-wide, including anonymous site statistics, such as the number of views of each page. We log domain names and/or IP addresses of visitors (such as umich.edu, aol.com, 209.168.1.1, etc.), which permits us to know "where" visitors are from, or what access service they use, without knowing their individual identities. Because we do not require users to register with us, this "host level" tracking is our primary basis for assessing traffic patterns.

We use your IP address (the series of numbers associated with your individual computer) to help us maintain our site and identify problems with our server. Your IP address does not disclose any personally revealing information about you.

Like all website owners, Greenhope Services for Women, Inc. receives and records information from users in our website server logs, including their IP (Internet Protocol) addresses and web pages requested. Aside from this standard tracking data, the only other personal information our site collects about users is such data as is knowingly provided in one of our on-line forms.

Data Capture Practices
On certain pages such as Greenhope’s donation, volunteer, and admission forms, we give users the option of providing us with names, addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers, email addresses, and other personal information, and various other kinds of details. This more personal information is gathered only with users` knowing and active permission and participation. E-mail addresses of visitors and members are never exchanged with other organizations. Mailing address may be used to send information about Greenhope related events to visitors who knowingly entered their contact information to make a donation.
