Privacy Policy

United Way Fox Cities is committed to honoring the privacy of our supporters and those who visit the United Way Fox Cities website. We do not collect your personally identifiable information from you or from your employer unless you or your employer provides it to us voluntarily and knowingly.

However, if you specifically agree to provide us with identifiable information, such as by making a donation, we may contact you from time to time. No personal information is sold, rented, or traded to third parties.

Access to the information:

The records we maintain on our contributors are regarded as confidential. The information is stored securely with access limited to United Way Fox Cities, its employees, officers, and identified volunteers. All employees and volunteers with access to donors’ personal information have agreed to keep your information confidential and secure. We may utilize third party partners to process your contributions and they have also agreed to keep the personal information they receive from us confidential and secure. If you designate that your gift be given directly to another agency or United Way partner, we also may share your information with them with your permission.  

Data Security Commitment:

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and help ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate and reasonable physical, electronic, and administrative procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect. In addition, we use firewalls to help prevent outside parties from accessing our database server through the Internet, and physical access to the database server is restricted to authorized individuals. Online donations are transmitted via a secure server using the latest encryption technology and our online credit card processing technology partners are PCI compliant.

Use of the information:

3. Designating a gift – If you direct all or a portion of your donation to another United Way or agency, your name, contact information, and amount of gift will be relayed to the nonprofit organization. This information will enable the organization to acknowledge your donation directly and to send you information about their programs. We encourage you to reach out to any United Way or agency you designate if you want information on their policies regarding their use of donor contact information.

These companies have agreed to keep your information confidential and secure.
