Online Transaction Privacy Statement

This online giving page is a service provided by Blackbaud, Inc., to Metropolitan State College of Denver. The online transaction service provided by Blackbaud was created for the purpose of helping educational institutions receive donations online. Blackbaud is committed to protecting your privacy. Please read on for more details about our privacy policy.

Information Collection
Should you decide to make a donation, you will be asked to provide your name, contact information, and credit card billing information. All of this information is encrypted using SSL, an industry-standard secure technology. This encryption is designed to prevent the theft or interception of the information you provide. SSL encryption is indicated on your Web browser by the display of a lock or key on the browser status bar.

Blackbaud provides the technology to ensure that your donation to the educational institution you chose is successful. Blackbaud does not sell, trade, rent, or share your information with any entity other than the educational institution that receives your donation and the vendor we have selected to process payment transactions, which has its own privacy policy. We may use demographic data derived from aggregate donor information, such as number of donors from a particular locale or number of donations above a certain giving level.

E-mail Addresses
The Blackbaud Web site collects your e-mail address for the sole purpose of sending donation confirmations. Blackbaud will not disclose, sell, trade, rent, or otherwise reveal your e-mail address to any entity other than Metropolitan State College of Denver.

Security
In addition to utilizing SSL encryption for all transactions, Blackbaud stores encrypted credit card numbers and passwords, as well as other donor information, on servers that are kept in a physically secure environment with strict policies that minimize staff access to the information contained therein.
