At such times, we may collect personal information relevant to the situation, such as your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, and contact preferences; your credit card information if you are purchasing or have previously purchased a product or have previously or are currently making a donation. We may also need to know information such as date of a purchase or donation or any information relating to a customer service issue. We collect information to gain a better understanding of our customers and thus provide more valuable and accurate service.
