Method of Transaction Security

When you make a donation using myowf.org eCommerce pages, you are transferred from an unsecured web server to a secured web server which utilizes SSL (Secure Socket Layer).  Electronic purchases should ONLY be made on servers that utilize SSL. The SSL is located on a web site server that is separate from ALL myowf.org services and business locations.  This secure site is where the actual transaction takes place and where all secure personal information such as credit card numbers, expiration dates or mailing addresses are stored.  This secure site is located at a U.S. bank in the United States of America NOT at Oregon Wildlife Foundation.

Oregon Wildlife Foundation does not store credit card information on or in its business location.
