- Data Sharing and Third Parties
We respect your privacy and will never sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with third-party marketers or advertisers.
We may only share your data under the following limited circumstances:
- Trusted Service Providers: We may share data with vendors or partners who help us operate our website, process donations, or manage SMS, email, and postal mail communications. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it solely to perform services on our behalf.

- Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
- Contributions
When you contribute online at AUL.org, the transaction is processed using encrypted code on a secure donation site, on a secure and dedicated web server. The personal information that is requested is the same that we would request for donating through the mail. We do not retain records of contributors’ credit card numbers. A third-party commercial credit card processing institution manages this process. Our donation and order processing systems are routinely tested for PCI-compliance, and we adjust security settings and practices as necessary.
