Registration
You are not required to provide any personal information on our website unless you choose to do so. We do ask for personal information on our online donation pages to properly enable donation transaction processing. We use this information to acknowledge receipt of your donation for tax purposes and may publicly acknowledge your gift in our Annual Report. If you give a gift to communitylodgings.org, your name and address will be placed on our physical mailing list. If you do not wish to receive physical mail from Community Lodgings, you may call us at any time at (703) 549-4407, or contact us, to be removed. If you have any questions regarding the security of your registration information, please contact us or call (703) 549-4407 for more information.
Sharing
We use an outside fundraising platform to process donations. This company does not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes beyond processing your donation.
Security
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever 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 closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.
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 (e.g. recording and acknowledging a donation) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

For instance, when we use a cookie to identify you, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance their experience on our site. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on our site.
