Information collected may include your name, email address, street address, phone number, job title, and other related demographic information.

Information Use
ICSA uses the information you voluntarily provide to process your requests and/or to provide you with additional information about the organization and its programs, services and publications.
Security
ICSA takes precautions to help protect the information you provide us. Our site is guarded by an SSL certificate. SSL Certificates are small data files that digitally bind a cryptographic key to an organization’s details. When installed on a web server, it activates the padlock and the https protocol and allows secure connections from a web server to a browser. Typically, SSL is used to secure credit card transactions, data transfer and logins, and more recently is becoming the norm when securing browsing of social media sites.
Payments
For your convenience and security we are partnered with the payment processor Stripe. When you purchase a membership, donate, advertise, or make any payment online through our site we do not collect your payment information. This information is instead securely processed through Stripe on their secure servers. Please see https://stripe.com/privacy to learn more on how they protect your information.
