AIDA is committed to maintaining the privacy of those who visit aida-americas.org or aida.ngo.
AIDA is the sole owner of the information collected on this website. This information will not be sold or rented to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. AIDA collects information from site visitors at several different points on this website.
We collect only the domain name, but not the e-mail address, of visitors to our website, aggregate information on what pages visitors access, information volunteered by the visitor (such as survey information, e-mail and other addresses), and other personal information. If you volunteer your contact information, we may contact you in the future to tell you about program developments, opportunities to support AIDA’s work, or changes to this privacy policy.
The information we collect is used to improve the content of our website, to notify visitors about updates to our website, and alert visitors about issues and opportunities. The information is not shared with other organizations for commercial purposes. All personal information is stored on a secure server with password protection.
DONOR PRIVACY POLICY
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
AIDA will never share donor giving information with other organizations. However, like many other groups, AIDA may exchange its donor mailing list with like-minded organizations. You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time. If you wish to opt out of having your name and address shared with other organizations, call, email, or write to us at:

FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS
To process a charitable contribution, it is necessary for AIDA to gather the visitor's name, email address, mailing address, phone, and credit card information. This information is used to verify identity and execute the financial transaction. Additionally, phone number and email address information may be used to contact visitors if there is a problem with the transaction.
AIDA uses service providers (such as merchant banks and ecommerce integrators) for the express purpose of conducting financial transactions. Personal information collected to conduct financial transactions is kept private and secure and 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 a transaction is selected that occurs on a regular basis. For transactions that recur, credit card information is stored in an encrypted format.
Whenever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.
