Security

We understand that donating online can feel risky. Because your credit card security is our highest priority, The SCGH Foundation has taken several steps to ensure that your payment information is processed confidentially and accurately.

Website and Electronic Commerce
The SCGH Foundation servers use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), an advanced encryption technology that works with Netscape Navigator (versions 5.0 and above), Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 5.0 and above), and AOL (AOL 5.0 and above).

We use password protocols and secure websites to protect personal and other information we receive when an online donation is made or merchandise is purchased. Our software is routinely updated to maximize protection of such information.

The SCGH Foundation utilizes the company, Moneris Solutions, through the Royal Bank of Canada to process all online ecommerce transactions.  The SCGH Foundation does not handle the processing or storage of credit card data on the website. 

Security
This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. Log file access is restricted to system administrators while stored on the server. Log files are rotated regularly and archived in a secure location. User and password information, if requested, is encrypted before it is transmitted across the network.

Information Automatically Logged
The server collects the IP address, date, time, page accessed, browser type, and the referring page if present. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Web page. The date and time are used to track the load on the server and peak usage times. We record the browser type to monitor market penetration of various web browsers so we can better determine what Internet technologies we may utilize in the design of our pages. We use page referrer data--that is, information about the web page that pointed you to our page--to determine to what extent our page is referenced by other resources on the web. These data may be used to preserve the integrity of our computing resources.
