Online donations are processed by third-party payment processors, such as Stripe and PayPal, which encrypt payment information in transit. Amber's Antibodies does not store full credit card numbers.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Website, such as comment features. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Website.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.

To opt out of any sharing you have previously consented to, you may contact us as described in “Contact Us” below. To the extent that a third-party service provider is used to process any donations, your information will be shared with that provider only to the extent necessary to process the donation, and the provider is expected to keep it confidential.
