Frequently Asked Questions


Is my credit card information secure?

The Foundation for Freedom of Expression takes every precaution to protect our donors' information. When donors submit sensitive information via the Web site, your information is protected both online and offline. We use high grade encryption and the https security protocol to communicate with your browser software. This method is the industry standard security protocol, which makes it extremely difficult for anyone else to intercept the credit card information you send to us. Companies we work with to process credit card transactions also use high grade encryption and security protocols. The Foundation for Freedom of Expression employs error checking procedures to make certain transactions are processed completely and accurately. As necessary, changes are made to improve our systems. And, independent external and internal audits are conducted to ensure the privacy, security and appropriate processing of your information on our site. Committed to the protection & privacy for all of our users, it is the policy of the Foundation for Freedom of Expression to continually enhance our fraud protection systems and our other processes to fight identity theft. In addition to maintaining privacy and security controls over information you share with us, the Foundation for Freedom of Expression works to accurately process your contribution information. During business hours (M-F, 9am - 5pm EST) our Donor Services staff is available to answer questions about your financial donation at (800) xxx-xxxx, or support@xxxxx.org.

Why do you require another identification number besides my credit card number?

The Card Security Code (CSC) is a 3- or 4-digit number printed on your credit card. It provides added security when you use your card on the Internet or over the phone. The number appears only on the card itself, not on receipts or statements.

Why do you require a donation amount of $5?

Like any other online credit card processing system we are charged by credit card companies. We don't want donors' well-intended gift to be offset by processing fees.
