Our Security Policy for online donations
The Leukaemia Foundation wants to ensure that all of our supporters can donate and sponsor online with complete confidence. We have taken every possible measure to give absolute security to our customers in their dealings with us.
- We have created a secure transaction environment for commerce on the Internet . Our e-commerce system uses Secure Sockets Layer technology (SSL) to ensure your shopping experience is safe, sound and secure at all times.
- SSL locks all information passed from you to the Leukaemia Foundation in an encrypted envelope . This makes it almost impossible to be intercepted by an unauthorised party, as long as your browser and local network support the use of encrypted data transmissions.
- SSL is the system that is used by all reputable e-commerce sites . The industry standard for encryption technology, SSL is compatible with Netscape, Internet Explorer, AOL, Web TV and most other browsers.
You will know when transmitted data is safe by the appearance of a padlock icon (Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera browsers) or a key icon (Netscape browsers). You may also see a security notice appear when you enter a secure page. Secure web pages can also be identified by their URL (i.e. website address): they begin with ' https:// ', not 'http://'.
In the event of unauthorised use of your credit card, you must notify your credit card provider in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures. Under the conditions of your credit card, your bank cannot hold you liable for more than $50.00 of a fraudulent transaction.
