Entering for a chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime experience... is that considered "gambling"?

Nope. TalkLouder operates a ‘no purchase or donation necessary’ sweepstakes. For each campaign, we offer a free and convenient method of entry (ie. a free postal route). Donating does not increase your chance of winning.

What exactly does TalkLouder do?

We’re a full-service platform, managing all aspects of celebrity / influencer fundraising campaigns. Our services include campaign design, sweepstakes registration and administration, copy-writing, graphic design, promotional support, payment processing, prize fulfillment and customer service.

Be honest, how much of my donation actually goes to charity?

Simple -- 80%. TalkLouder charges a 20% service fee, part of which we split with our payments partner [Stripe] and the remainder of which goes to cover operating expenses.

How does TalkLouder protect my personal information and transaction data?

The security of your information is our highest priority. Technically speaking, we automatically encrypt data using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol with a 256-bit encryption key. Our payments partner’s systems are also Level 1 PCI Compliant [www.stripe.com]. In plain English, that means we follow industry-leading standards to ensure the highest level of security and compliance.
