Personal Information
The MWA is committed to the highest standards of stewardship excellence and has created this statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy.
The MWA assures you that the identity of all who contact us through our web site is kept confidential. The MWA does not share your e-mail address with any third parties.
The MWA does not require its web visitors to provide any personal information unless you choose to do so. If you choose to provide the MWA with information by sending an e-mail to a member of its staff, or by filling out a form with your personal information and submitting it through the website or off-line, we will use that information to respond to your message.
Non-public information (i.e. donor giving records) shall not be given to persons other than those who are involved with the cultivation or solicitation efforts or those who need that information in the performance of their duties for the MWA.
Credit Card Transactions
The MWA protects the information you provide when donating on the foundation’s website. Your information is stored in a secure location and protected by security procedures. Sphere has a highly redundant, robust and scalable network infrastructure. All connections are fully meshed and designed for maximum availability and fault tolerance. The architecture consists of banks of Web servers, configured with IIS 6 running on Windows. The Web server load is distributed by Citrix NetScaler load balancers. The Web servers are IBM with multiple dual core processors. The database load is distributed over logical and physical instances of MS SQL 2005 running on Windows 2003 64 bit Operating System. The database servers are either four way or eight way IBM servers. All critical systems are fully backed by vendor support agreements and rapid replacement contracts. We maintain a standby disaster recovery site. In the event of a catastrophic site failure, there will be disruption until we activate the standby site. As described above, we have a lot of redundancy in our primary site which greatly reduces the risk of a site switch over.
