Our Policy
The VoteHealthcare.org uses its best efforts to respect and protect the privacy of our online visitors and donors. We will not share your e-mail address or other information with third parties.

VoteHealthcare.org lists and information are never sold to third parties.

Is Credit Card Information Secure?
We care about the safety and security of your transaction. 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. Contributions may also be made by mailing a check or money order to the address above. 

What Individually Identifiable Information Do You Collect?
We collect individually identifiable information about you when you choose to share information about yourself, for example, when you make a donation, request information or sign up to be an advocate. This information may include your postal and/or e-mail address, organization, and your telephone number. Individually identifiable information is used to provide you with information or to deliver the service you have requested. If you provide your postal address, telephone number or e-mail address to VoteHealthcare.org online, you may receive periodic contacts from us.  At certain parts of some of our site, only persons who provide us with the requested personally identifiable information will be able to use tools or otherwise participate in the site's activities and offerings.
