What Information We Collect and How We Use That Information:
Our registration forms require users to give us contact information that may include name, email address, format preference (HTML vs. Text), address, interests, and similar information. We do not request or store sensitive information from our visitors, such as credit card or social security numbers.
ATS does not rent or sell donor lists. On occasion, we share the name and the address of supporters with other like-minded non-profits. Exchanging our list with other reputable charities is the most cost effective way to find new supporters. As part of ATS’s exchange policy, other organizations will have access to a shared list for a limited time and will not have continued access to ATS’s list unless an individual voluntarily chooses to respond to their initial mailing. If you prefer not to have your name and address shared in this way, you may request to have your information removed from a shared list by contacting [email protected].
Internet Protocol Address:
We collect an IP address from all visitors to our Site. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. We use IP addresses to help diagnose problems with our server,
administer our Site, analyze trends, track users’ movement, gather broad demographic information for aggregate use in order for us to improve the site, and deliver customized, personalized content. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Security:
All information provided to The American Technion Society is transmitted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption.
