What Information We Collect and How We Use That Information

Throughout The Arc of Texas website, in particular when creating a membership registration,
donating online, completing an action alert, registering for a special event, purchasing a product,
or completing various survey forms — visitors are asked to list name, address, and other personal
contact information. Information collected is specifically and knowingly provided by site visitors and
may include name, email address, format preference (HTML vs. text), address, telephone number,
interests and other similar information.

The Arc of Texas has partnered with NEON CRM, an Internet software and services company that
provides online electronic Constituent Relationship Management (eCRM) solutions for nonprofit
organizations. Information collected through The Arc of Texas is securely stored through NEON,
and is only accessible to a few The Arc of Texas employees. The Arc of Texas and NEON will not disclose
visitor’s name or other personally identifiable information (such as e-mail address or phone
number) to any party.

Neither The Arc of Texas nor NEON store sensitive information such as credit card numbers. When
an online transaction is completed through The Arc of Texas website, such as a charitable
contribution, credit card information is used solely for the purpose of completing that specific
transaction and is not retained in The Arc of Texas or NEON database.

The Arc of Texas will not sell, share or exchange personal contact information collected from this
Web site with other organizations. Visitors to The Arc of Texas website are not required to share any
personally identifiable information. Users who do not wish to share personal information when
visiting The Arc of Texas website can still access the Network’s Web pages and the valuable
information provided.

Internet Protocol Address

We collect an IP address from all visitors to our Site. An IP address is a number that is automatically
assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. We use IP addresses to help diagnose
problems with our server, administer our Site, analyze trends, track users’ movement, gather broad
demographic information for aggregate use in order for us to improve the site, and deliver
customized, personalized content. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Security

All information provided to The Arc of Texas is transmitted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer)
encryption. SSL is a proven coding system that lets your browser automatically encrypt, or
scramble, data before you send it to us. We also protect account information by placing it on a
secure portion of our site that is only accessible by certain qualified employees of The Arc of Texas.
Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to
protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of such information.
