Privacy
Information Collection and Use
Letterform Archive is the sole owner of the information collected on this website. We maintain the privacy of our supporters through various technical means of protection. We offer web users the option of keeping their names anonymous and provide easy ways for donors to state their mailing preferences. Donors can indicate that they do not want their name shared, rented, or sold by sending us an email.
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with an appropriate law enforcement investigation, current judicial proceeding, a court order, or legal process served on our website.
Donations and Purchases
In order to make a donation or purchase on this website, a user must first complete a donation or order form, on which the user must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number and expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes, to fill supporters’ orders, and to provide donations receipts. If we have trouble processing an order or donation, this contact information can be used to get in touch with the user. This information will be used to send the user materials, a tax receipt (if a donation is made), or purchased items. The user will be added to the Letterform Archive mailing list, unless previously indicated otherwise. If you would like to be removed from the Letterform Archive mailing list, please send us an email or simply unsubscribe. We use a credit card processing company to fulfill orders using that payment method. The credit card company does not retain, share, store, or use personal information for any secondary purposes.
Sharing
We do not share our mailing list with other organizations.
Mailing List
Users who join Letterform Archive’s mailing list will receive periodic mailings throughout the year. We may use a mail house to send materials to our list. That company does not retain, share, store, or use personal information for any secondary purposes.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line.
When our donation or order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card numbers), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry — SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers will become locked.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our supporters’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment.
If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an e-mail to [email protected].
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If your contact information changes, or if you would like to be removed from our mailing list, Letterform Archive will correct, update, or remove that information. To make such a change, please email us.
Links
This website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that Letterform Archive is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this website.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our website so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If we decide to change our privacy policy in a material way, for example, use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will post those changes prominently on our website for 30 days prior to taking effect. Users will always have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner.
Cookies
We use cookies in our online store to remember your billing address and gift details in your donation form. This allows you to leave the donation form and return without having to reenter this information. You have the option to delete any of this information at any time. Your credit card information is entered once at the end of your transaction and is not stored by us in any way.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track how our supporters use our site, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
