Information Use
ICSA uses the information you voluntarily provide to process your requests and/or to provide you with additional information about the organization and its programs, services and publications.
Security
ICSA takes precautions to help protect the information you provide us. Our site is guarded by an SSL certificate. SSL Certificates are small data files that digitally bind a cryptographic key to an organization’s details. When installed on a web server, it activates the padlock and the https protocol and allows secure connections from a web server to a browser. Typically, SSL is used to secure credit card transactions, data transfer and logins, and more recently is becoming the norm when securing browsing of social media sites.

For your convenience and security we are partnered with the payment processor Stripe.
