Personal contact information we collect and what we do with it

When you are making a donation or purchasing a product, contributing to our guest book, or subscribing to our online newsletter, we ask you for personal contact information, including your name, mailing address, phone number, and e-mail address. We will use this contact information to provide you with information or resources you have requested, such as information about the Tipitina’s Foundation, a receipt, or a financial report, or we will use your information to contact you to clarify or verify other information, such as an order you placed or a donation you made.

We will not add your name and contact information to any mailing lists without your prior knowledge or express permission. In other words, we will always ask or inform you before adding you to a mailing list. If we do not, you will not be added. If you have agreed to be added to one of our mailing lists, such as our e-mail newsletter list or regular mailing list, then you may receive from us news about the Tipitina’s Foundation and information on how you can support the organization's mission.

Personal contact information is not shared with any organization outside of the Tipitina’s Foundation.

Personal billing information we collect and what we do with it

In addition to personal contact information, we ask for billing information, such as your billing address and credit card number, when you make a donation or purchase a product. We use secure servers to gather and process your billing information. These secure servers are hosted by our agent Nova Information Systems, which is bound by our site policies. Your billing information is not shared with any other organizations, and your credit card number is not retained once your transaction has been authorized and processed.
