For instance, you may want our website to remember you so that you will not have to provide a password every time you want to log in to our website. This is possible through cookies. Your browser configurations will dictate whether or not you allow cookies, but we use the information to track what pages our users are most attracted to, how long our users remain logged in, and to protect users by logging them out of our website after a period of inactivity.

Our reports will not contain any personally identifiable information and the reports will not be shared with third parties at any time.

What We Do To Protect Your Information

We institute various electronic and administrative safeguards to make sure we are protecting your personal information. We use technologies and other programs to protect your data from hackers or other unauthorized users. In addition, information in your profile is protected by a password created by you, so you can limit who can access and change your profile information.

Should you choose to donate to Elizabeth’s Canvas via our website, we use PayPal to process the transactions so that we never have access to your personal financial information. PayPal provides a secure environment for the submission of this information.
