CADS requests personal information from our users only on the live online support section on our website. The personal information we collect is used only to respond to your inquiry, process a service, allow you to access specific information, or advise you of special treatments and services.

Order and Credit Card Information
CADS uses CAF as third-party payment providers of e-commerce solutions, to power the CADS.org.uk donations and in doing so, collects information about users, including credit card information. When a user purchases a service from the CADS.com store, 'Payment provider' provides information about the customer, including name, address and email address, to CADS. CADS uses this information as set out in the end user agreement, agreed to by purchasers at the time of purchase. In particular, CADS uses the information to register the service to you, support the service and send you information about updates, upgrades and new works or services provided by CADS.
'Payment provider' requests information from the user on the donar form, viewed by the user as a page hosted on their 'payment provider' web server. Here a user must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used as explained above. For example, if we have trouble processing an order, contact information is used to get in touch with the user.
Your credit card information does not pass through the 'payment provider' site under the terms of CADS's agreement with 'payment provider'. 'Payment provider' does not share credit card information with CADS. 'Payment provider' keeps your credit card information confidential and protects your credit card information through the use of industry-standard Secure Sockets (SSL) encryption technology.
