Our website may use “cookies” to enhance the experience of email subscribers. Cookies are pieces of information that some sites transfer to the computer that is browsing and are used for record-keeping purposes. Use of cookies makes web browsing easier by performing certain functions such as saving your passwords, your personal preferences regarding your use of the particular website, or to make sure you don’t see the same ad repeatedly. Many consider the use of cookies to be an industry standard. Your browser is probably set to accept cookies.

Monetary Transactions on Our Site

AFT takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, their information is protected both online and off-line. When our online donation form or AFT store asks users to enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the most commonly used software in the industry: SSL (Secure Socket Layers). While on a secure page, such as our donation form, your web browser will typically show a lock icon.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. The servers that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment, and the passwords to service them are regularly changed. For a detailed description of the security protection for credit card transactions, please read this privacy policy.
