This information will be used in statistical analyses of site usage. It helps us improve and personalize our service and content to better meet your needs and make the site more enjoyable, efficient and secure to use.
Order Information
To purchase or order sample campaign products through any of our sites, you will need to provide order information (which may include credit card information). If you are purchasing campaign products from us, once your credit card has been approved by our third-party transactional company for the amount equaling the total of the supporter's desired purchases, the third-party supplier(s) will receive all relevant purchase details (item description, quantity, etc.) needed to fulfill the order. All personal information collected during the ordering process is used for order processing, billing and shipping.

We will not rent or share your Personally Identifiable Information to third parties for their promotional purposes. As detailed above, Fundraising.com does not give your personal information to third parties not associated with our campaign products or services. Our third-party suppliers use a variety of external delivery companies to ship orders, and a third-party firm processes the campaign supporters' credit cards for goods purchased. These companies, by contractual agreement with us, are not permitted to retain, store or use personally identifiable customer information except for order processing and fulfillment.
