Credit card numbers, provided by donors through electronic means, are not retained by JRC employees, nor do they have access to them.

Credit card numbers provided by donors through any physical forms or via telephone to authorized JRC employees are securely transmitted to the third party online payment processing service and are then destroyed. In addition to these security measures, our data software product is password protected and only accessible to executive level management. Any written donor information is locked in a secured location and/or shredded.
