Our General Policy
UWCNCT recognizes the importance of
protecting information we may collect from
visitors to our site. Our policy is to use the
information we acquire from visitors to our
sites for internal purposes only, and we
maintain appropriate security measures to keep
this information private. The only exception is
"Postings" which is discussed above. Your
browser, however, does automatically tell us the
type of computer and operating system you are
using.
Users can visit the site without revealing any
information about themselves. If one chooses to
give us personal information via the Internet
for the purposes of correspondence, processing
an order, or providing a subscription to a
publication, then it is our intent to let you
know how we will use such information.
If users tell us that they do not wish to have
this information used as a basis for further
contact, we will respect those wishes. If users
wish to review or correct the personal
information we have collected,
click here. We do keep track of the domains
from which people visit us. We analyze this data
for trends, insights and statistics, and then we
discard it. Information may be maintained on an
opt in basis only for receipt of communication
and products from United Way. Only users of 13
years or older can opt in.
UWCNCT takes precautions to keep the user
information disclosed to us secure, and such
information will not be disclosed to third
parties for commercial purposes. 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.
Use of Cookies
Certain sections of the UWCNCT web site use
"cookies" to store user information. A cookie is
a small string of text that a web site can send
to your browser. A cookie cannot retrieve any
other data from your hard drive, pass on
computer viruses, or capture your email address.
Currently, web sites use cookies to enhance the
user's visit; in general, cookies can securely
store a user's ID and password, personalize home
pages, identify which parts of a site have been
visited, or keep track of selections in a
"shopping cart." Cookies help us understand
which parts of our web sites are the most
popular, where our visitors are going, and how
long they spend there. We use cookies to study
traffic patterns on our site so we can make the
site even better.
Cookies were originally designed to help a web
site distinguish a user's browser as a previous
visitor and thus save and remember any
preferences that may have been set while the
user was browsing the site. If you are just
browsing UWCNCT's web site, a cookie identifies
only your browser. If you become a registered
user on a UWCNCT web site (with a user ID and
password), we may use cookies so that we can
provide personalized information that we believe
will be of value to you based on preferences you
have indicated while visiting the site. It is
possible to set your browser to inform you when
a cookie is being placed - this way, you have
the opportunity to decide whether to accept the
cookie. If you are just browsing our site and
are not a registered user, you do not have to
accept a cookie and you can still continue
browsing the site. However, if you are visiting
a site where you will be accessing a
confidential account, you must accept that
site's cookies because they are essential for
site administration and security.

If you have any questions about this User
Agreement, contact UWCNCT. If you do not agree
