Security
How we protect donations, school rosters, and kids' data.
Last updated: October 2, 2026
Payments
- Donors pay on Stripe's hosted checkout. ScanRaise does not store full card numbers or bank details.
- Use your organization's Stripe account, let ScanRaise collect, or link QR cards to existing donation pages; see how the collection choices work.
- Stripe is certified as a PCI DSS Level 1 service provider. That certification covers Stripe, not ScanRaise.
- We confirm that every payment update really came from Stripe before we record it.
What is encrypted
- Every page and connection uses HTTPS.
- The connection between our servers and our database is encrypted with TLS.
- Location, step, and Fitbit data from tracking is encrypted before it is stored, and so are Fitbit sign-in tokens.
- Backups are encrypted in transit and at rest.
Kids and student data
- A parent must give consent by email before a child under 13 can use the tracker or scavenger hunt check-ins.
- Children known to be under 13 stay off public pages and leaderboards, and donor receipts name the campaign instead of the child.
- Tracking data is deleted from our live database 90 days after the campaign ends.
- For children, use a first name and last initial. Clever imports and our roster template already format names that way, and you can review every name before it goes public.
- We do not sell or share student data with advertisers, marketers, or data brokers.
- ScanRaise is listed in the SDPC resource registry. A listing is not a certification or a signed data privacy agreement. Each school or district decides whether its use meets FERPA and its own policies.
- Schools and districts can ask for their data or ask us to delete it. The Privacy Policy explains how.
Who can see what
- Organization owners and admins manage their own organization's campaigns, donations, and participants. Members with view-only access can look but not change anything. Only owners can issue refunds.
- Public campaign pages show participant names and totals, except for children known to be under 13.
- A small number of ScanRaise staff can open any organization's data to give support.
Sign-in
- No passwords. You sign in with a one-time email link or a passkey, such as Face ID, Touch ID, or Windows Hello.
- Sessions end after 30 minutes without activity, or 15 minutes for ScanRaise staff.
- Sign-in requests are rate limited.
Backups
- Automated off-site backups are stored with a different provider from our database.
- Each backup is checked when it runs, and a failed run alerts us by email.
- Old backups are deleted on a schedule. Changes made after the latest backup could be lost in a disaster.
Site protections
- A strict Content Security Policy and other security headers on every page.
- Our pages cannot be embedded in other sites, except the donation widget, which secure HTTPS sites can embed.
Insurance
- StanHattie LLC, which operates ScanRaise, carries General Liability and Errors & Omissions coverage through Next Insurance. Verify coverage.
