Privacy Policy Statement for United Way of Lapeer on the Web

The United Way of Lapeer has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this site (United Way of Lapeer). United Way of Lapeer assures you that the identity of all who contact us through this website is kept confidential: we do not rent, sell, or exchange our mailing lists and we will always strive to be responsible in our management, truthful in our advertising, and cost-effective in our fund raising.

We are continually working to ensure every dollar is used to its fullest for this purpose. Anything less would violate the trust we keep with you, with the needy people we serve. We will exert every effort to honor any designation of preference you have stated. In certain circumstances, where a project is overfunded or cannot be carried out in accordance with your preference, the funds will be used for similar projects approved by the Board of Directors.

As with most other Internet sites, our web site's servers record the IP address of each visitor to this site. This IP address tells us which domain you visited from (for instance, aol.com), but not your e-mail address. We use the information we record to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer this website more effectively, and to gather broad demographic information about what countries and domains our visitors come from. At no time does the United Way of Lapeer attempt to obtain personal information about you without your permission.

Those who choose to register through our "Newsletter" feature or on our site guestbook may choose to give us certain contact information (such as their e-mail address). Our guestbook also requests optional demographic information (such as zip code, age, or income level). We may use this contact information from the Newsletter or Guestbook to send the visitor information about the United Way of Lapeer and its programs. The visitor's contact information may also be used to contact the visitor when necessary.

Users may opt-out of receiving future communications; see the "opt-out" section below. In some cases our site uses securely encrypted contribution response forms for visitors who choose to use them to provide information, request information, and make donations. We collect these visitors' willingly submitted contact information (like their e-mail address), unique identifiers and financial information (like their credit card numbers). Contact information from the response form is used to process donations, provide receipts and other information about United Way of Lapeer to our customers. The visitor's contact information is also used to get in touch with the visitor when necessary.

Our online surveys may ask visitors for contact information (like their e-mail address) as well as a variety of demographic and practical questions. We may use contact data from our surveys to send the user information about United Way of Lapeer. The user's contact information may also be used to contact the visitor when necessary. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the "opt-out" and "modifying your information" sections below.
