For example, LEAP’s web site contains pages where you can make a donation to support LEAP. We contract with an outside provider to process these transactions. This provider uses a secure server so your credit card number and other personal information will be encrypted and will remain confidential. LEAP will not share or sell a donor’s personal information (whether collected online or offline) with anyone else, nor will we send donor mailings on behalf of other organizations.
