Overview
Policies that address how your organization handles data privacy, cookies, terms of use, refunds, and shipping are vital aspects of maintaining an effective digital presence. In addition, ensuring that these policies are visible and accessible on your website is crucial for compliance with global laws governing online privacy and commerce.
Important Note: As the software provider powering your website, WildApricot implements security measures to safeguard your database information and to protect the security of payment transactions handled through your website.
However, it is important that your organization creates and publishes your own policies regarding the way your data is handled by your organization and how users should interact on your website.
