What information does SYNERGY collect?
We collect personal information when you voluntarily submit it to us.
For example, donors may provide us with personal information (such as name, address, email address, telephone numbers and/or credit/debit card information). If a donor, or a website visitor, contacts us by email they may provide us with their email address, and name. Providing data is required in these contexts in order for us to process your donations, requests, or respond to inquiries.
Donor personal and financial information
Besides keeping donor personal and financial information safe and secure, the personal information donor’s provide, such as e-mail addresses and telephone numbers, is used by SYNERGY staff only to ensure accurate, timely processing of transactions and/or donations. Everything else is kept confidential and SYNERGY will remove any information from its digital and paper files upon written request of the donor. All information is encrypted and stored off site with our hosting company.
How do we protect your information?
In keeping with SYNERGY’s mission and values of good stewardship, SYNERGY implements a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you make a gift, place an order or enter, submit, or access your personal information.
We offer the use of a secured server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway providers database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. After a gift or donation transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) will not be kept on file (digitally or in paper) for more than 60 days, and then is destroyed.
Our commitment to data security
To help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect. The Covered Services use industry-accepted encryption to protect Customer Data and communication during transmissions between a customer’s network and the Covered Services, including the use of Transport Layer Security encryption (TLS) leveraging at least 2048-bit RSA server certificates and 128-bit symmetric encryption keys at a minimum. Additionally, all data including Customer Data, is transmitted between data centers for replication purposes across a dedicated, encrypted link utilizing encryption.

Logs, Cookies, and Pixels
Web server logs: Our web servers may collect certain information such as IP address, pages visited, time of visits, and referring website.
Use of Cookies: As with most Internet sites, our web servers utilize “cookies” to track a user’s activity within our site as well as record the IP address of each visitor to this site. A cookie is a small data file that is stored on your computer. A cookie contains a unique identifying feature that allows our computer to recognize you when you return to the SYNERGY site. The recorded IP address tells us from which domain you visited (for instance, yahoo.com), but not your email address or other private and personal information. We use the information we record to help diagnose problems with our servers, to administer this website more effectively, and to gather broad demographic information about what countries and domains our visitors come from and their behavior on our site. If you wish to opt out of this type of data collection, you can disable cookies in your web browser or hard drive. Please note that disabling cookies may diminish the experience of the websites you visit, including SYNERGY. We sometimes also use third-party service providers to stream video. These third parties may collect non-personally identifiable information about your interaction with us.

To remove yourself from some or all NAI member advertising programs, please visit the NAI opt-out page and follow the relevant instructions.
