Data Collection
Santa Barbara Channelkeeper uses its best efforts to respect and protect the privacy of its online visitors. At our site, we do not collect personally identifiable information from individuals unless they provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly. This means we do not require you to register or provide information to us into order to view our site. Channelkeeper only collects personally identifiable data, such as names, addresses, zip codes, email addresses, etc., when voluntarily submitted by a visitor. We do not sell or otherwise furnish information provided to us online to third parties.

Credit Card Safety
Protecting the safety of your credit card information is also important to us. We use PayPal.com for online donations. Please refer to http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/ua/policy_privacy-outside for the privacy policy of PayPal. They use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect the security of your credit card information as it is transmitted to them. SSL is the industry standard in internet encryption technology, which is a highly sophisticated method of scrambling data as it travels from your computer to our website. To make sure you are accessing a secure server before you submit your personal information, look at the lower left-hand corner of your browser. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock, then SSL is active. To double check for security, look at the URL or address line of your browser. If you have accessed a secure server, the first characters of the address in that line should change from “http” to “https.” For your protection, we do not store your credit card number once your payment has been processed.
