Financial Transactions

Vegan Outreach does not sell donors’ contact information.

To process a charitable contribution or product purchase, it is necessary for Vegan Outreach to gather the donor’s name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and credit card information. This data is used to verify identity and execute the financial transaction. Additionally, phone number and email address information may be used to contact visitors regarding the transaction.

Vegan Outreach may use service providers such as merchant banks and e-commerce companies for the express purpose of conducting financial transactions. It is important to note that credit card numbers are used only at the time of the transaction, and are not stored following the conclusion of the transaction unless a transaction is selected that occurs on a regular basis. For transactions that recur, the credit card information is stored in an encrypted format.
