The My Way website and application is the property of United
Way of Central Alabama, Inc. (“UWCA”) UWCA is committed to protecting your
privacy. Except as described below, no personal information is shared, sold,
rented, traded, or disclosed in any manner to third parties.
Access to and use of My Way is provided by UWCA and its
affiliates. My Way and UWCA websites may be accessed via links from other
websites or applications, such as your employer’s intranet. UWCA is not
responsible for the information security and privacy practices of such other

YOUR ACCEPTANCE
You must accept the terms of this Privacy and Security
Statement in order to access My Way. By using and accessing My Way, you acknowledge
that you have read and agree to these terms. If you do not agree, you should
not access My Way. You are agreeing to the collection, use, and disclosure of
your personal information as described below.
WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect or track the following information from our
website, application, and emails: (1) email address; (2) information knowingly and
voluntarily provided by visitors or registered users in online forms,
registration forms and surveys, which may include name, contact information,
pledge or donation information, impact area or service interests, and other
personal or community activities you choose to tell us about; (3) aggregate
and user-specific information on which web pages visitors access,
and (4) records of any correspondence you may have with UWCA or its affiliates.
The My Way platform will also include information about you that we have from
your prior interactions with UWCA or one of our affiliates, such as if you have
previously donated to UWCA or volunteered with United Way Hands On.
“Personally identifiable information” is information about a
natural person that is readily identifiable to that specific individual. It
includes, for example, a person’s name, street address, email address, fax
number, or telephone number. We will not collect any personally identifiable
information about you through our website, unless you voluntarily use our site
or the My Way platform to make a donation or pledge, send us an email message,
participate in a survey, fill out and submit an online form, register for a
volunteer activity or other event, or complete other My Way activities.
ONLINE PLEDGING
If your employer has elected to host an online pledge campaign
through My Way, you will be asked to complete an online pledge form. Our pledge
form could contain your name, address, zip code, email address, pledge amount,
pledge type, and, if applicable, information directing your pledge to be used
in a targeted service area or paid to a specified agency. If you participate in
an employer-sponsored My Way pledge campaign, we will also provide the
information we collect to your employer. We may also receive information from
your employer about the pledge amounts necessary to reach certain donation
thresholds; we do not use this information for any purpose other than
presenting pledge options to you.
If you make an online pledge individually (outside of any
employer-sponsored campaign), we will collect the same information as described
above, but we will not share that information with your employer or anyone else
unless specifically stated otherwise in this Privacy and Security Statement.
As with most online transactions, UWCA employs security measures
to ensure your information is safeguarded (see “Security” below).
HOW INFORMATION IS USED
The information we collect is used for billing purposes, to
complete or process your donation, and for future communications. Unless you
instruct us not to, we will provide any agency you have designated to receive
your contribution (if applicable) with your name, address, and the amount
pledged so they may acknowledge your gift and communicate with you directly. We
may also provide the designated agency with your email address.
Your email addressmay
also be used to send you information related to your giving or volunteer
activities or interests or agencies. You will always have the option to
unsubscribe to future emails.
We will also use your information to create and manage your
account and provide My Way or account-related assistance to you. The content
you see on My Way will also be determined in part by the information you
disclose to us.
DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES
We may share the information we collect with other
charitable organizations only as described above. We may also provide
information to your employer as described above or other entities that need
access to such information in connection with processing your contribution
(such as credit card processing companies or other service providers). We also
reserve the right to release information as required by any governmental or law
enforcement agency or under a court order issued by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
We do not receive or hold any credit card or bank account
information; such information is transmitted directly to the third-party
payment processor. Those processors have their own terms and conditions and
privacy and information practices.
For employers hosting a My Way pledge campaign, cumulative
My Way data about employee volunteer interests and activities, other expressed
interests, and completed tasks or badges will also be made available to your
employer, if applicable. This data is shared only to employers sponsoring a My Way
pledge campaign and only as aggregate data for their employees. Your employer
may use this information to initiate other workplace charitable or volunteer
campaigns or programs. And as stated above, your employer will receive individual
pledge information.
DO NOT TRACK REQUESTS
Our website does not respond
to Do Not Track browser signals or similar mechanisms. We do not, however,
track your activity outside of our website and application, and we do not allow
third-party tracking on our website. No third parties collect personally
identifiable information about your online activities over time and across
different websites through our service.
SECURITY
We have established and maintain security standards and
procedures to protect our users’ information. When you submit personally
identifiable information via the website, your information is protected both
online and off-line. We have installed a number of measures to protect the
confidentiality of your personally identifiable information.
UWCA has created a registration and log-in process so that
your personal profile is password-protected and can be accessed only by you or
a person authorized by the UWCA. You should always log-out when you are done
with your session so that others cannot access your account. You are solely
responsible for protecting the security of your password.
For donors who pledge online, upon request, we will send an email
confirmation of their pledge. Due to the nature of the internet and our lack of
control over your email host, we cannot guarantee the security of this email
correspondence.
We permit staff members and certain volunteers to access
information you have provided to process your pledge and to perform certain
administrative and business functions. UWCA staff and volunteers who have
access to such information are subject to a confidentiality agreement that
prohibits them from disclosing your information to third parties (except as described
above) during and after their employment or volunteer work with UWCA.
If you have any questions or concerns about the security of
information sent over the internet through our My Way website, please direct
them to: eservices@uwca.org.
DONOR RESPONSIBILITIES
In an effort to fully protect our donors’ information, we
ask that all donors follow the recommended security guidelines for protecting
donor information for themselves and their employees.
We ask that any breach of private information be reported to
UWCA within in 24 hours by emailing eservices@uwca.org.
My Way usernames and passwords should not be shared with any
other persons.
A donor’s pledge information is considered to be private
information and should be disclosed without prior consent of the donor.
We ask that any donor or confidential information be
provided to us via a secure or encrypted method.
Changes to this Privacy and
Security Statement
This Privacy and Security Statement may be updated from time
to time. The amended version will be posted on our website and effective as of
the date it is published. We will provide you notice of material changes, which
notice may be by emailing you or by posting a notice or alert in My Way when
