PRIVACY POLICY

Our Commitment to Our Donors and Their Privacy

The United Ways of Alabama (“UWAL”) values the trust donors and other stakeholders place in our organization. Your privacy is our priority and we thank you for your confidence in us and promise to protect both your charitable investment and your personal information in keeping with the highest ethical standards and industry practices.

As a United Ways of Alabama donor or community agency, you have entrusted to our care not only your charitable gifts but personal information as well. We thank you for your trust and promise to protect both your charitable investment and your personal information in keeping with the highest ethical standards and industry practices.

United Ways of Alabama’s donors and community partners have been able to count on this promise with confidence since 2004. Our promise means that we do not sell or trade donor information to anyone. We use the personal information that you or your employer have provided to us only for the intended business purpose – to manage your charitable gift in keeping with donor intention.

Within United Ways of Alabama, we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in keeping with industry standards and practices, and we review and adjust these safeguards regularly in response to advances in technology. We limit access to confidential information to those employees who need it to perform their jobs, and hold those employees to a strict code of ethics.

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes our practices with information that we (or our service providers) collect from a user (sometimes referred to as “you” or “your”); both online and offline, on any Platform (“Platform”, includes the UWAL website) or through any medium including electronic, written and oral communications; for donors, volunteers, and other constituents as well as visitors (“Visitor”) to our website, www.unitedwaysofalabama.org www.statecombinedcampaign.org (“Site”).

 The Information We Collect

If you choose to give to United Way or the State Combined Campaign, you complete a pledge form that asks you to provide us with your name, address, e-mail address and pledge information. United Way will not rent, trade, sell, or share any information about its donors.

Access to the Information

United Way employees who may access your information in order to perform pledge processing and administrative functions are prohibited from disclosing your information to third parties. Organizations that provide operational or other support services to us must also agree to safeguard your information in strict compliance with our privacy policy.

Why do we collect this information? Your relationship with United Way is voluntary and confidential. We use your information to send you acknowledgement of your gift and information we think you may find of interest about United Way. If you do not wish to receive such communications, you may let us know at any time by contacting United Way.

Our Commitment to Data Security

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect. Firewalls prevent outside parties from accessing our database and internal United Way access to the database is restricted to authorized individuals.

Our Pledge

UWAL will not sell, share or trade our donors’ names or personal information with any other entity, nor send mailings to our donors on behalf of other organizations other than as outlined elsewhere in this Policy or as a routine part of a donor’s other engagement with United Way. To the extent any donations are processed through a third-party service provider, our donors’ information will only be used for purposes necessary to process the donation.
