INTERNET SITE PRIVACY POLICY

Our Commitment to Privacy

Apogee Scholarship Fund respects the privacy of every visitor to our web site.  Your privacy is a priority, and we go to great lengths to protect it.  This Internet Site Privacy Policy explains our online information practices.  This Policy may be changed or updated from time to time.  By visiting the Apogee Scholarship Fund at www.apogeescholarships.org, you accept the practices described in this Policy.

Data Collection

Through our web site, we offer convenient online access to our services and communicate with you about important opportunities and information.  We will not collect personal information from you when you visit our web site unless you provide the information to us voluntarily and knowingly.    

  • Making a website inquiry: When you make a website inquiry, we may ask for your name and contact information. 
  • Making a financial contribution: When you make a financial contribution online, we collect your name, contact information, and standard credit card data.

Is My Credit Card Information Secure?

We use a variety of safeguards to protect the security of your credit card transactions.  We use technologies and processes such as encryption, access controls, network firewalls, physical security and other measures.  These measures make it extremely difficult for anyone to intercept the credit card information you send to us.  When we work with other companies to process credit card transactions, those companies also use encryption and other security measures. 

Refunds

By making a contribution via credit card, you are agreeing that if approval is secured, your contribution will be linked to your donation paperwork and will be considered as paid in full for the intended contribution amount.  In the event payment is made and State approval is not secured, Apogee agrees to refund the contribution amount less transaction fees.   

 We Care About Doing It Right

Apogee Scholarship Fund is committed to accuracy and precision in processing your contribution information.  We employ a variety of error checking procedures, and our systems are subject to independent external and internal audits to ensure the privacy, security and accurate processing of your information.
