Personal Data of Donors
When making a donation by credit card or our online donation platform, your personal details are not sent straight away.

This then protects the information and transaction details before leaving the Heep Hong Society’s donation platform for processing by JETCO Payment Gateway. The transaction does not take place at Heep Hong Society’s online system, and related banks shall not disclose your credit card information to any staff of Heep Hong Society. Your credit card information is solely for the purpose of processing donation payments.
