YOU ARE HERE: Give - Donor Privacy Policy UNITED WAY'S COERCION POLICY Fundraising should always be conducted in a voluntary manner; coercion creates animosity, hinders communication and understanding, and eventually leads to decreased support. To underscore our conviction about this policy, United Way of Worldwide’s Board of Governors adopted the following policy statement: The Board of Governors of United Way Worldwide believes that the most responsive contributors are those who have the opportunity to become informed and involved. A well-planned campaign with an effective communications program, conducted by committed volunteers, will ensure responsible contributors. While we have always been unalterably opposed to coercion, we do recognize a responsibility to state our beliefs formally, as freedom of choice is a basic tenet of our democratic society. Giving is a personal matter and decision. No form of coercion is acceptable to United Way. UNITED WAY'S DONOR PRIVACY POLICY United Way of Southern Kentucky (UWSK) recognizes the importance of protecting information. This policy applies to all information received by United Way, both online and offline, on any Platform (“Platform,” includes the United Way website and mobile applications), as well as any electronic, written, or oral communications.

Usage Information: “Usage information” is information automatically collected by a web server (which may be hosted by a third party) that a User’s browser makes available when visiting the Site, such as a computer’s IP (Internet Protocol) address or browser type. When a web browser or email application requests a web page or email from another computer on the Internet, it automatically gives that computer the address where it should send the information. This “address” does not contain any personally identifiable information. UWSK also receives the name of the User’s internet service provider (ISP). UWSK may from time to time use third party tools that help it understand how visitors engage with the Site. UWSK may use this information to administer its Site and analyze overall trends. United Way of Southern Kentucky may also use other technologies i.e. “cookies” to enhance User experience and obtain information about a User’s online activities, such as pages and content viewed, the time and duration of visits and whether a User clicked on a link. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service. Security: To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect. We utilize a high-grade encryption and the https security protocol, SSL, to communicate with your browser software. This method is the industry standard in security protocol, helping to keep your personally identifiable data as secure as possible. While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also protect user-information off-line. Only United Way authorized employees are granted access to personally identifiable data. All servers that store personally identifiable data on them are kept in a secure environment. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
