Utah Satsang Society does not share your personal information with others except in the following cases:

How can I tell when my online transactions are secure?

Your browser will show you when you are making a secure transaction in two main ways. When you access a form, a secure connection is indicated when “https” appears in the address bar of your browser. Somewhere in your browser window, you may also see a locked-padlock icon. These indicators tell you that all information entered on that page will be encrypted when you submit the form (e.g., by clicking “Submit,” “Send,” or “Place Order”).

How is my credit-card information protected?

Utah Satsang Society keeps your data secure with end-to-end encryption and tokenization.
We receive no credit-card data for transactions made on our website. All donations are done through PayPal. For more information, see PayPal’s Privacy Policy.
