United
Way of Pierce County has created this privacy statement in
order to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy.
Your
privacy is very important to us. The following information
concerning the gathering and use of data is being provided
to enable you to make knowledgeable choices about whether
to provide information to us and to give you the opportunity
to limit the manner in which data is used.
We
recognize that visitors to our site may be concerned about
the information they provide to us, and how we treat that
information. The personally identifiable information we collect
from individuals is only the information they provide to us
voluntarily and knowingly; we do not require you to register
or provide information to us in order to visit the public
portion of our site.
There
are two types of information collected from visitors to our
Web site. The first type is "non-personal information."
Non-personal information does not identify you individually,
but provides us with information on how our Web site is used.
When a visitor arrives at out site, we may collect the IP
address, Operating System and Browser software information
being used. An IP address is not the same as an e-mail address,
but the IP address can tell us the user's Internet Service
Provider which may indicate the geographic location of the
user. This non-personal information will help us track the
number of visitors to our site; the areas they visit; the
browser, operating system and domain names they use; and the
name of the site that referred them to our Web site. This
data helps us to improve the usefullness of our site and will
not be disclosed to third parties.
The
second type is "personal information." United Way
of Pierce County only gathers personally identifiable data:
addresses, zip codes, e-mail addresses, etc. when voluntarily
submitted by a visitor. For example, personally identifiable
information may be collected in order to record a stated desire
to donate online to United Way of Pierce County via a direct
gift or though a company sponsored campaign. This information
is used solely by United Way of Pierce County or other parties
to the transaction for the purpose of executing the transaction.
We
may request personal information from you in order to respond
to your questions, to deliver a product or requested materials
to you, or to administer contests and notify winners. If you
provide personal information to us, we will not sell, license
or transmit this information to third parties without your
consent, unless disclosure is required by law. In some circumstances,
we may disclose this personal information to our contractors
or agents to allow them to perform certain functions for us,
such as shipping products ordered from our Web site.
Security
We
have addressed the safety and security of your transactions.
We use industry standard security protocols, which make it
extremely difficult for anyone else to intercept the information
you send us. the secure server software (SSL) encrypts information
you enter before it is sent to us (excluding standard e-mail).
If you do not wish to enter credit card information online,
our Web site contains information on placing offline orders.
Your
Email Address
Should
you send your question or comments to us via e-mail, we will
share this communication with our employees who are most capable
of addressing your questions or comments. We will retain this
communication until we address your question or comment, and
then we will either discard or archive the communication.
Please be aware that our e-mail facilities do not provide
for secure communications. Please do not use e-mail to communicate
information to us that you consider to be confidential.
Cookies
Like
most Web sites, we may store electronic "cookies"
in the browser folders located on your computer. Our cookies
do not contain personal data, but they do contain information
that allows us to recognize repeat visitors, track your usage
pattern and better serve you when you return to our site.
Most browsers will automatically accept cookies, but you can
usually change your browser settings to reject cookies.
