The Northern Santa Barbara County United Way (NSBCUW) places a high priority on protecting your privacy. This privacy policy was created in order to demonstrate NSBCUW’s firm commitment to the privacy of our donors, clients, and website users. This policy explains what types of information is collected by the NSBCUW’s website and how this information is used.

Who we are

Northern Santa Barbara County United Way –  https://unitedwaylife.org.

What Personally Identifiable Information is Collected

NSBCUW’s partners and donors that register via www.liveunitedsbc.org and individuals that sign up to receive NSBCUW e-communications, voluntarily provide us with contact information (such as name and e-mail address). We may use this information for specific, limited purposes. You may always “opt out,” either now or at any time in the future, if you do not wish to receive our messages.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

How Your Information May Be Used

We use your personal information to provide you with personalized service; to send e-mail alerts to you; to answer your requests; etc. You may choose to opt out at any time, which will cease all communications from us. We may also use your information to track visitors of our website. This lets us see which of our features are the most popular so we can better serve our users’ needs. It also lets us provide aggregate data about our traffic (not identifying you personally, but showing how many visitors used which features, for example) to outside parties.
