Financial Information
If you choose to make an on-line donation KOHM, you may be asked for account or credit card billing information, including the name on the donor's card, billing address and expiration date. All of this information is encrypted using SSL, industry standard secure technology encryption that is designed to protect sensitive information. Your communication is authenticated using Verisign certificates. The account and credit card information that you provide at the time of donation is stored only for the duration of the transaction, typically a few minutes. Once the transaction is processed, the information is overwritten in order to ensure that it will be inaccessible. The account and credit card information that you provide at the time of donation is used only to process donations and will not be disclosed, sold, traded, rented or otherwise revealed to any third party without your consent.

Public Interactive security measures include, but are not limited to, industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, Verisign certificates, firewalls, and internal policies to maintain the security of stored data. Access to donation records is granted only to authorized KOHM personnel. Public Interactive provides unique user names and passwords that must be provided each time an authorized user logs on.

In the event of unauthorized credit card use, or if your card is lost or stolen, you must notify your credit card provider immediately in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures.
