Financial Transactions and our Secure Servers
All financial transactions on our website, specifically donations, are managed through our agent merchant service providers. All transactions use an encrypted channel, take place on secure servers and occur in real-time. No financial data, such as your credit card number, is transferred via a less-secure channel, such as encrypted e-mail, for processing. Moreover, once your transaction has been completed, your credit card number is not retained. All information provided to Courageous INC is transmitted using TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption. TLS is a proven coding system that lets your browser automatically encrypt, or scramble, data before you send it to us. We also protect account information by placing it on a secure portion of our Site that is only accessible by certain qualified employees. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of such information. Unless there are issues with a particular transaction, Courageous INC does not access the credit card information. If you have any questions about a particular transaction, please feel free to contact us. Other contact information we collect and what we do with it In some instances, we ask for contact information from you for other persons, for example, email addresses of friends to whom you send e-cards or a copy of one of our web pages, or the mailing address of someone you wish us to notify of a donation you have made. The information we collect is used to send the donation notification or information you requested and/or to inform the recipient of the opportunity to subscribe to receive Courageous INC games, updates, and opportunities to get involved. Such contact information is not shared with any other organizations nor is it added to any mailing list without the recipient’s explicit consent.

Courageous INC does not collect any personally identifiable information from you when you visit our website unless you choose to provide such information to us.
