AN EFT TRANSACTION IS CAPTURED BY ENTERING REQUIRED ACCOUNT INFORMATION INTO THE GRASSROOTS UNWIRED APP. IF THE MOBILE DEVICE HAS AN ACTIVE DATA CONNECTION, THE INFORMATION COLLECTED IS ENCRYPTED BY THE CARD READER AND SENT IMMEDIATELY TO THE PAYMENT PROCESSOR (P2PE ENCRYPTION) AND THE CANVASSER RECEIVES A REAL-TIME RESPONSE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE TRANSACTION WAS SUCCESSFUL. IF THE MOBILE DEVICE DOES NOT HAVE AN ACTIVE DATA CONNECTION, ALL CARD AND ACCOUNT INFORMATION IS ENCRYPTED BY THE CREDIT CARD READER AND STORED ON THE CANVASSER'S MOBILE DEVICE IN AN ENCRYPTED FORMAT INSIDE A SECURE FOLDER. AS SOON AS THE MOBILE DEVICE REGAINS CONNECTIVITY, THE ENCRYPTED INFORMATION IS SENT FROM THE MOBILE DEVICE TO THE PAYMENT PROCESSOR, ENSURING THAT THE CANVASSER IS IN POSSESSION OF THE CONTRIBUTION INFORMATION ONLY AS LONG AS IS NECESSARY TO SEND THE INFORMATION TO THE PAYMENT PROCESSOR. AT NO TIME DOES THE MOBILE DEVICE OR THE GRASSROOTS UNWIRED PLATFORM POSSESS CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT NUMBERS, EXPIRATION DATES, OR CVC INFORMATION OR THE ABILITY TO DECRYPT THE INFORMATION THAT IS ENCRYPTED BY THE GRASSROOTS UNWIRED APP. THE ONLY INFORMATION RECEIVED BY GRASSROOTS UNWIRED IS A TOKEN PROVIDED BY THE PROCESSOR THAT IS THEN PASSED ON TO THE DATABASE OF RECORD ALONG WITH DONOR DATA THAT CAN BE USED BY THE DATABASE OF RECORD TO RUN RECURRING DONATIONS. 2.

AGAIN, WITH AN ACTIVE DATA CONNECTION, ALL THIS INFORMATION WILL HAVE ALREADY BEEN SENT FROM THE APP TO THE SECURE GRASSROOTS UNWIRED WEB PORTAL. 3. ONCE THE MANAGER HAS "CHECKED OUT" ALL THEIR RESPECTIVE CANVASSERS AND APPROVED ALL OF THE MONEY COLLECTED, THE MANAGER CONFIRMS THE TOTALS FOR THE ENTIRE OFFICE BEFORE SENDING THE NIGHTLY REPORT BY EMAIL FROM GRASSROOTS UNWIRED TO STATION'S DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVE. 4.
