Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. We are committed to protecting your privacy online and the security of any information you choose to provide us. This privacy policy addresses the collection of information and the use and security of information collected on our Web site. We will only share your information in ways that are described in this policy and as required by law. This policy covers the following topics:

Information Collected and How It Is Used

We collect no personal information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. We use the information you provide to us only to confirm receipt of your donation, for compliance purposes, and to send communications about Congressman McDermott. Personal information includes name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and credit card number.

If you do nothing during your visit to this Web site but browse or download information, we automatically collect and store the following information about your visit:

The Internet protocol (IP) address and domain name you used, but not the e-mail address. The IP address is a numerical identifier assigned to either your Internet service provider or directly to your computer. We use the IP address to direct Internet traffic to you, for troubleshooting purposes, and to track which pages people visit in order to improve the quality and content of the site.

We do not sell, rent, or lease our list of Legal Expense Trust contributors to third parties. In order to help provide our services, we occasionally provide information to other companies that work on our behalf. We do not use the information to develop individual user profiles that tell us.

For site security purposes and to ensure that this site remains available to all users, we employ software to monitor network traffic and to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information or otherwise cause damage. No other attempts to identify users or their usage habits are made.

When you make a donation online, we ask for your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address. We will use your e-mail address for compliance purposes or to send communications relating to Congressman McDermott, solicit additional contributions, or answer questions you have sent to us via e-mail.

Data Security

We utilize the services of Bank of America to accept and process credit card payments. This service provides us with a secure, encrypted Internet connection for real-time credit card processing. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information under our control, and to ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. We use encryption technology to ensure that personal information is not susceptible to theft.
